Really nice job with MTEs everybody.

UNI, Illinois State, Valpo, Missouri State all in really good fields.

Indiana State did okay and tacking on the TCU game as part of Diamond Head makes it much better.

Unfortunately, SIUs is only good if they see Nevada.

Can't find where Loyola is going but for the good of the league it better be a good tournament.

Also can't find Evansville, Bradley or Drake listed anywhere. Bradley needs to do well.

I wouldn't count on too much from the Aces. Walter might be able to get a couple decent OOC games, but I'm afraid we are too late to get into a decent MTE.

Yeh we will probably play Nevada and Tulsa at the Vegas Tournament---a buy game like Xavier. Also play St Louis and Murray State at home. Looking for a home and home with someone like Middle Tennessee

So basically SIUs schedule is going to be as bad as it's always been under Hinson.

All of that actually sounds like a significant step up in scheduling for Hinson compared to previous years.

Does SIU have a return game coming with Winthrop at home this season?

There's been a lot of silence on Bradley's tourney, but there is going to be a new tournament held at the US Olympic Training facility in Colorado next year (Rocky Mountain Challenge), hosted by the MWC that I've heard is a strong possibility. It will be modeled after the new Maui format where you get one campus game, and then the 8-team single elimination.
