Re: 2017-18 schedule discussion
Agreed, might be the best non conference schedule Dan has put together since he's been here. Without stating the obvious, the Rams now need to win some of these games against the top competition, something that for the most part has alluded Dan so far (Cincy being the only good OOC win). We have a team with alot of experience, would be nice to get a few of these wins to build the March resume.giovanni wrote:According to Blue Ribbon, UNC Asheville, Nevada, Iona, FGCU, College of Charleston all picked to win their respective leagues. Seton Hall ins # 15, Alabama is #24 and of course Friars who I think will end up at a top 25 team. Throw in VA or Vandy , 2 NCAA teams from last year and schedule is extremely tough, outstanding OOC schedule. They will certainly be battle tested going into the conference.

Re: 2017-18 schedule discussion
Going to be some close games OOC.....if we can win most of them, that to me anyway, will be the last piece of the DH puzzle as a coach....yes the end of last season was great, but need to build on that.

Alabama game
Not sure anyone noticed, but the Alabama game is listed as 8:00 EST(7 CT) and is on SECNetwork +(Plus). This is from the Tide website.
"Plus +" is on Watch ESPN and Apple TV, among others. It is not channels 611 or 611-1 on Directv. The plus network is only on the internet.
That game is the last listed on our schedule with a "TBD" time.
I may be making the trip there, like I did at Auburn for Danny's first Rhody win!

Re: 2017-18 schedule discussion
I think a 13-8 record vs these teams and a 5-3 top 50 record (playing Virginia in Brooklyn) is reasonable. Keep away from a real bad upset loss in the other 8 games and I see a 21-8 or 20-9 record. Team playing it's best in March.
