That OOC schedule is a lot better than what we had seen over most of the last decade

Oklahoma finished the year a top 20 RPI team. Wake Forest finished near the bottom of the ACC. Houston finished near the bottom of the AAC.
We're going to need to perform well in the Legends classic to boost the RPI as well as not have any bad losses to the scrubs on the schedule.

Any idea when the College of Charleston game would be?

Overall I think this schedule will be a small improvement over the past couple years. Just hope we dont finish the last two games off with sub 300 RPI teams.

This is about as good of an OOC slate as we can hope for.
Gotta love all of the posters on here (who know next to nothing about basketball) who think that the likes of Kansas, Duke, UNC are all itching to play LSU.

Sucks we got Kennessaw St and S Alabama. Both teams suck.
Posted on 7/15/15 at 11:54 am to LSUfan2008
So right now, we know LSU will have at least 15 home games(6 non-conference games and 9 conference games). We might get 2-3 more non-conference home games bringing us up to 17-18 total home games at the PMAC this season.

Not too unexpected that it would be Marquette. Probably didn't want to see an immediate rematch of LSU/NCSU (though that may happen anyway). Plus, MU has a big time Freshman forward coming in. Obvious promotion of he and Simmons going head to head.
Hopefully MU is much better than last season when they finished with a losing record and dead last in the Big East.
I'm sure I'll get blasted, but that's my problem with LSU OOC schedule as it's currently set. Outside of Oklahoma, there are a few "known" teams, but most were mediocre to awful last season. Plus, you are desperate to get people to come out to the PMAC, then you give them mostly a dogshit OOC home schedule to watch.
Kennesaw St (Nov 16, Legends Classic) - finished 7th of 8 teams in ASU conf.
South Alabama (Nov 19, Legends Classic) - Finished 7th in Sun Belt (12-21 overall record)
vs. Marquette (Nov 23 @ Legends Classic, Barclays Center) - Finished last in Big East
@ Houston (Dec 13) finished 10th of 11 teams in AAC
Gardner-Webb (Dec 16) - Finished 6th of 11 in the Big South
Wake Forest - Finished 12th of 15 teams in ACC
McNeese State - Finished 7th of 13 teams in Southland
@ College of Charleston - Finished Last in Colonial Conf (and we go there!!!)
Obviously there are a few more games to be added, so things could easily change. But right now, other than OU and the matchup between NCSU or ASU, there's not a lot of meat on that schedule. A bit disappointing in light of the fact that this may be LSU's best team since 2009 AND the hype is huge with the No. 1 HS player and likely first pick in the NBA draft coming in.
What are you going to promote in Nov and Dec? Come out to the PMAC to watch Ben Simmons and Co. beat up on a bunch of avg (at best) mid-majors?
