2010-11 Nonconference Schedule...

[Clone_12]

Gonna play a lot of name schools in nonconference action next year...we get Michigan in Hilton in the first year of the Big 12/Big 10 Challenge...we go to Carver...and we are in the Paradise Jam in an absolutely LOADED field. This is a tournament with 3 pre-determined games though, not a normal 8 team bracket.

Playing Tennessee would be a REAL test to start off the season.

Paradise Jam (3 games): They'll have to split up the teams from the same conference -- ISU/Missouri, Georgetown/WVU, GaTech/Virginia. Tennessee and TCU will be the "wild cards".

Michigan: Home (Dec. 4 or 5)
Drake: Home
Iowa: Road
UNI: Road
Cyclone Challenge: 2 Home games (probably Dec. 29 and 30)

I wouldn't call Michigan a "name" school in womens bb...

Next year will be different because we'll flip from extremely guard oriented the last few seasons with Aus and Ezell, etc. to inside orientation with Poppens, Prins, and Zimmerman unless we have a guard or 2 explode out of nowhere. Would be nice to see Kelsey get a comfortable handle in the offseason to add another dimension to her game, but I just don't see it. :sad:

BF has stated that next year's non-conf schedule will be much different than this year was.

Great field - end of season ESPN/USA Today rankings for the teams - 3, 10, 13, 16, 21, 37, 43 and MU. We were contemplating a beach vacation next winter - this might be it.

That's cool to get a shot in that tournament. That alone can bulk-up the non-conference resume.

I remember when ISU MBB frequently got invites to early-season tournaments. :cry:

I think the Minn/ISU series is still on as well I believe. This year it's at hilton. 3 Big 10 teams = W's :smile:
