Women's has been released. We know the men play at Xavier. Where/when is the remainder going to be released?

If we have to settle for a D-2 opponent for the last game, hope Danny can get a Mountain East opponent, perhaps WV State or UC. Try and keep the money in the state, unlike those arrogant, self absorbed jerks up there in "the Hole".
Keeping money "in the state " really does nothing for the state's economy. It's one of the fallacies that keeps getting posted here.If we have to settle for a D-2 opponent for the last game, hope Danny can get a Mountain East opponent, perhaps WV State or UC.

Agreed. Let the state keep ALL of the tens of dollars a Marshall-WV State basketball game in December would bring. Imagine the impact that would have on the local economy.

The way you grow an economy is to import or introduce dollars from other state economies. Marshall needs to find opponents,who will travel, and try and schedule home dates with them.
MU should do everything it can to N E V E R play a non-Division I team in any sport ever again.
In basketball, if I understand it correctly, playing a lower division team is like getting a zero. It did not happen. You lose points even if you blow out the team. It does NOT bring money to the state/town, even if it is local teams like Rio Grande, WV State, or U (sic) C, for the simple reason that these schools have no fans to follow the team in the first place. It makes us look small time.
There has got to be a Sun Belt, Big South, MEAC, OVC type team we can pay $10K and a box lunch to.
Any word yet on our men's OOC schedule? Guess teams are scared to play us (LOL)!

Very disappointed that it has come to this two years in a row. Big DD fan, but somebody on staff should be responsible for drumming up a D1 game here, there, or wherever. Makes the program look bad to play nonD1 games IMHO.
so do you think we should kidnap children of the athletic directors or coaches to force them to play us? what's your game plan?
It does not work that way at all. Football, yes. There are, and when we were good were a lot more, teams that just would not play us. I get that. This is basketball. We are not the dregs of the world in basketball. We generate some $$. There are a lot of one-bid DI leagues that play in what can only be describes as a big gym, off TV, and bus around. There are certainly 50 or so such teams within 200 miles or so that can be paid a few $$, bus in, take their loss, get a box lunch and back on the bus.
Playing a DII or lower school makes us look small time.
How about this, make more calls, don't wait so long, find a needle in the haystack. I don't know I don't get paid to do it. Doesn't seem to be a problem at most places. Just get the job done however it needs done. No kidnapping, just sufficient elbow grease. Once was bad but maybe understandable, twice in a row?
Well Random what do you think?
Again, does not our AD - not DD and Cline, have any contacts whatsoever? If that's the case then how sad.
You can't force someone to play you, at home or away. I'm sure that all have plenty of contacts. Mark has been scheduling games for many, many yearsAgain, does not our AD - not DD and Cline, have any contacts whatsoever? If that's the case then how sad.
I know for a fact that Clemson, Indiana and Ohio State all had openings. We asked if we could come there and play.

All I know is, Danny asked to be able to come and play those teams since at the time they all had openings. They all said no! I didn't get into money, etc.Are you saying they said "no" to a no-return game and if so, at what price? Or are you just saying we were underbid by other teams willing to take less $$? Ohio State's non-exempt, non-challenge schedule is out (Robert Morris, Radford, Texas Southern) as is Indiana's (Indiana State, Howard, IP Fort Wayne, Tennessee Tech, Youngstown). Clemson's only regular non-conference game listed is Louisiana Lafayette.
If we are in a lowest bid bidding war with any of that like, we are in more trouble than I thought.
Maybe we can play WVU's farsical Beckley branch at the Raleigh Country Armory and get all 58 people still living in Mullens to come.
The last time I inquired about our men's basketball non-conference schedule was August 27. Have I missed Amy announcement regarding the schedule? The rest of the D-1 teams are complete. Heck if we have to buy a game do it for cheap - Huntington Prep! Oh I forgot. We don't recruit those players. We want to see them play for other teams. Just asking when is our schedule going to be complete.
Should definitely be out by now, but it's not.

11/16 @ Morehead State
11/19 @ Illinois
11/29 @ William & Mary
