With the rest of the Schedule they need a breather game, cupcake game at home. Hopefully they can get a weak D 1 Team to come into the Mid next Season.
They might need to come home and beat up on someone after some tough road losses.

: Yes, there will only be 12 home games at the

: adding another will be 12), but it's also a

: This year, we owe Green Bay a return game
: for the home Bracketbuster last year.
: Additionally, our Bracketbuster for 2009-10
: is already scheduled to be on the road.
: This is a unique situation because it should
: be one home and one away, but it's just the

: Beating Temple at home last year likely

: will season tix be lower in price as we got
: 14 Mid games last year? I really think

: I'm afraid no one will come to the Pyramid
: the

: names on our schedule this year. Get used

: with the occasional Wyoming or Fresno State
: thrown in, no big school in their right mind

: Sure, some will schedule us at home, like

:
: what we must do is win everything at home
: and at least half of our tough road games
: and all the easy ones, and get 13+ wins in
: conference, win the BW tournament, and hope
: for a seed around 8-12 every year and make
: some sweet 16's. Look at Gonzaga, arguably
: a top 20 national team over the past decade
: and yet they still haven't been invited to
: join the country club.'
:
: no wonder Tark was constantly taken down,
: the elite can't handle a LBSU or UNLV
: challenging their domain.

: If that game is added then we have only 11
: home games at the Mid next year. Not enough
: home cookin. One of those 11 is the Alaska
: Ank. game. Is Monson thinking we can get
: some the big names we're playing on the road
: to come to the Mid after next season?

: Word on the street is that the MBB staff is

:
: Not a bad addition considering their run two
