Strong field with some winnable games. Nice.

Need a match-up against MSU or Zona. A senior laden UE team might just make some noise next Holiday season!

Indiana State's non conference schedule is nearly done, still have maybe 2 games to schedule

Home

Exhibition game before season
D2/D3 team (Truman State?)
11/13 IUPUI
12/9 Valparaiso (1st game of a 4 year contract with Valpo)
Ball State
Wyoming

Away

at Butler
12/13 @ Western Kentucky

Neutral

11/21 at Paradise Jam (other teams DePaul, Florida State, South Carolina, Hofstra, Norfolk State, Ohio, and Tulsa) (yes, we know, a crappy field)
11/23 at Paradise Jam (if in losers bracket, we play 11/22)
11/24 at Paradise Jam

The confirmed games for the Redbirds are home vs. UAB and Murray State, and Maryland and TCU/Rhode Island in the Cancun Challenge. Redbird Recon hears we are playing @ SDSU (assuming thats the MVC/MWC challenge).

Muller wouldn't comment on anything else in the last article in the Pantagraph but said there is a "strong chance" we play a guarantee/buy game vs. a big name opponent. That's a pretty solid start for the Birds.

Hoping for a few more home & homes vs. some solid mid-majors (someone on RBF heard Creighton and Butler are possibilities)... Such a far cry from the Jank years- now we just have to win some of these games!

UNI is back to our insanely difficult scheduling ways.

Diamond Head Classic is our exempt tournament. (BYU, Oklahoma, Harvard, Hawaii, Auburn, New Mexico, Washington State). We're also playing at New Mexico as the 4th game of the tournament.

Away- George Mason, Richmond

Home- SFA, Probably North Carolina

Neutral-Iowa State in Des Moines

We're playing North Dakota for sure, just don't know where but it seems like it should be in Grand Forks. We have a Home game for the Mountain West Challenge.

I'm usually against Valley teams taking buy games, but I'm kind of for it for IlSt next year. They're going to have a good team.

Good looking schedules so far.
