That is not the point. The point is that all it takes is one injury and your OOC is shot and then the conference's RPI suffers. That schedule lacks the two or three much needed gimmes. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: bfg 's message, "Agreed but SJU's OOC record would have been better this year had Carroll not been hurt early in the year. Just as we'll be looking for improvement from our young players, it will be interesting to see how guys like Ferguson, Calathes, and Jalloh improve. If they're healthy, Martelli will have them in most of those games." on Wed March 23, 2005 10:41:29

Keep in mind this is an incomplete schedule. Those two gimmes will probably be added. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed March 23, 2005 11:04:09
- that's 11 OOC games. I think they could only add one more. (NT) -- bfg, Wed March 23, 2005 11:16:17
  - With 16 league games, that would make 27. Aren't college teams allowed to schedule 28 regular season games? More? (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed March 23, 2005 11:29:59
    - I think 28 is the limit, so they would only get to add 1 more game. However, they only played 27 this year (like us) so they might not add another game. (NT) -- bfg, Wed March 23, 2005 11:33:01
      - If that is the case, then this would appear to be too tough a schedule for them, based on who they have coming back/in. What I like about the schedule is the creative thinking with Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Kansas at MSG, possibly Marquette or Creighton. Nice job on selecting the opponents. We should consider a similar strategy as we move forward. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed March 23, 2005 12:52:08
      - 28 is the limit, but the 28th game is allotted for the conference tournament. So when you boil it down for A-10 teams, you have 16 conference games, 11 OOC games, and 1 game allotted for the A-10 tournament. (NT) -- DonHo, Wed March 23, 2005 15:05:12
        Thanks for the clarification. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed March 23, 2005 15:53:08
        That is what I had heard DonHo, but was not certain how true it was. Thanks for confirming. Here is a question for anybody that might now the answer: Do the Ivy League teams get to schedule an extra game since they do not have a league tournament or do they have to leave it open in case they have to go to a tie-break playoff game? (NT) -- J�Dete93, Wed March 23, 2005 16:02:58
        Dete, I don't have the answer to your question. But along those same lines, I'm wondering if there is a special provision for teams in leagues that do not allow all of their teams in their conference tournaments (e.g. the C-USA setup until next season, the Big East except this season, and the A-10 beginning next year)? I don't think there is...but I'm curious to find out. (NT) -- DonHo, Wed March 23, 2005 16:44:46
        Is it official that the bottom two teams in the A-10 will not make the conf. tourney? I know it makes sense, but with Linda you never know. (NT) -- J92, Wed March 23, 2005 21:06:32
        The lowest two teams will play in the tournament, but will not be invited to the banquet. (NT) -- L. Bruno, Thu March 24, 2005 11:14:27
