Ole Miss, Vandy, Miss. St. are the 3 SEC home games you're missing
The away game you're missing is Auburn
Houston will also come to LSU on 12/13
If he can, Wade needs to somehow find another power conf. opponent to make up for LSU not playing in the SEC/Big 12 challenge this year

Thanks. The schedule already looks much better than previous seasons.

We still have to do a H&H with VCU right?

Nice to see new life breathed into your program. Can't wait to come and see Kentucky play there, will be fun.
Coach Wade is great, and I've seen Tremont Waters live. He will be fun to watch.

So we are going to add 2 more OOC games to make it to 30 games?
I hope we dont just settle for a 29 game schedule, hate playing less games.

The home OOC schedule doesn't look great right now outside of the Maui Invitational. If LSU can beat Michigan in the first round though, their schedule significantly improves. If not, then playing a game against Chaminade doesn't really help anything.
Hopefully Wade can get at least one solid power-conf. team to visit the PMAC in Nov/Dec. That would probably go a long way to raising interest before conf. play starts. An ACC/Big 10/Pac 12 or even Big East opponent would be great and likely draw a big crowd in an otherwise dead time.
Right now there only appears to be one OOC road game. LSU needs to get one more. Road wins are HUGE come March.
That SEC away schedule (6 months out) looks rough. I think Bama, Auburn and Tenn. should be improved. UF/USC will probably take a bit of a step back from last season, but both are still solid programs. A&M has the talent to be a solid team. Vandy is always a tough place to play, though I expect Wade will be highly motivated to coach a game in his home town. Really, the only favor the SEC schedule-makers did was send UK to Baton Rouge

I hope there won't be and sub-300 rpi teams on the schedule like there always seems to be. Those are killers when it comes to rpi and strength of schedule comparisons.

That's an epic conference home slate. A lot of tournament teams are coming to the PMAC

I want to go to both games. Though, it will be weird rooting against VCU.

Man that is a really great looking OOC schedule to me. We don't need to play big names, we just can't play those sub 300 RPI teams... having only 1 sub 200 RPI OOC team would be amazing.
Let's just hope we get that VCU away game. I haven't heard anything on that but it seems silly to pay 350k buyout just to not play VCU.

It COULD be ok, but it doesn't look like anything special. If LSU beats Michigan, then a 2nd round game with Notre Dame would be a huge boost. After that, you would likely get another good game. However, if LSU loses to Michigan then they have to play Chaminade, which isn't even a D-1 team.
The two "headliners" right now are Houston and Memphis, but I would be surprised if either team is good, especially Memphis. Houston is losing some key contributors and Memphis is a complete dumpster fire right now. Damn near every good player from last season transferred.
Wilmington lost their coach to NC State and Stephen F. Austin took a big dip after losing Brad Underwood. Just like last year (at least right now) there is no OOC home game that's going to draw the casual fan to the PMAC.

I'd be surprised if they do it this season with VCU being in the same holiday tournament as LSU

I would prefer to wait a year anyways. More likely I will be living in Richmond then.
