Arizona plays Mizzou at noon today if folks want to get a glance at our next big game opponent.

I hate these games. Find teams that are #132, not #332.

Even if it's pointless, thanks lance for the thread.

We should be playing Tech, UTA, Baylor, UTx, SFA, etc. DBAP

This is a "trap" game. "DBAP"? "****** Bag Aggie Player"?

Don't go. The only way to get tamu from scheduling these types of games is for the fans not to show up. I Understand to get teams to come to reed sometimes you have to schedule softer teans but there is a point where it gets to be so bad that it's not worth going to see the game.

Serious question: Why is this game on the schedule? Could understand if this was an exhibition game or
on the schedule as one of first two games. And on a December night that not so incidentally is cold. Free tickets may be hard to give away for this one. This one should qualify for "free" parking at Reed. Announced attendance will IMO be far more than attendance. I hold two season tics. Not a good value!

They are on the schedule for the same reason they are on Wichita State, Clemson, Syracuse, South Carolina, and Miami's schedule. scrimmage filler and allows little programs to make some money.

I think we all understand the reasoning but at some point you gotta have home games that mean something for people to show up.

In the 130-140 range of RPI, we have William and Mary, Georgia State, Loyola-Chicago, Central Michigan, and Arkansas Little Rock, UNC Asheville etc.. I have a hard time believing those games sell any more tickets than South Carolina State.

....and the not going to games part worked itself out a long time ago. It doesn't seem to have caused anyone to schedule the entire Top 25.

Kansas State last year drew 7003 on a Saturday in December. Corpus drew 6275 this past Monday.

At some point you have to admit there's about that many people that want to go to a basketball game in December.

You are correct to some degree. But there would absolutely be more interest on a Saturday playing Old Southwest Conference foes then South Carolina state. Beating rice or Texas Tech would still be way more interesting to most fans than who were playing today.

It might be more interesting, but it probably wouldn't get that many more people to Reed.

Last time we played Rice....Friday night in November. 4816.

Last time we played Houston at home: 4850

The most challenging games should be played when people are most likely to attend. The least challenging games should be played when people are least likely to attend.

"The reason is that others do it." That's not much of a reason. Maybe a good reason not to do it is that IMO the attendance (not announced attendance) will be light. To put up with the announcer and DJ Mike is hard enough with a competitive match-up. No offense to SCS--just that it will be a mismatch and an easy win with lots of substitutions. And, oh, it's to be televised on the SEC network. I could be wrong but this one to me has no appeal. So be it.

I don't really care about attendance so much as a better resume.

Think Davis will be able to develop a mid range shot, ala Tim Duncan?

Think they realized he was swinging hard past the rim and did it to stabilize....which would be a first for refs to recognize.

I feel like our starters are going to have to play a LOT of minutes in conference play. Williams is the only bench player I have any confidence in.

So only one of the two beteen Hogg and Hampton can be hot, but Gilder is so consistent.

Good 1st half but the team still lacks that defense...
