How are the home games determined? Before the season you are either put in a home team or away team pool. On 1/31/11, ESPN matches up the best teams for the TV games that will be on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. They try to pair up the best RPI teams against one another for those games. They don't put teams up against teams in their conference or teams they already played in their OOC earlier in the year. They also try to match up teams somewhat geographically if they can. Thanks!

I'm hoping for Kent State. They are a traditionally good program and should be a good draw at the Nutter Center.

I think we are going to get Hofstra out of the CAA.

If you are going strickly by RPI we are getting Hofstra or Montana. I really hope it's Hofstra. A return trip to New York sounds much better next year than Montana.

they are trying to take geography into the equation now as well as RPI so Hofstra certainly would seem the most likely

I'm going to be in class at 6:30. Is it going to be streamed anywhere online?

If we get Hofstra on TV I would be stoked. It's a much better "name" in the basketball community. Sadly, that's what it takes sometimes.

Too bad they only said about 3 words about Wright State: "They can defend". Yeah, we know. Ah well, to be expected I guess

This is horrible. We had the 11:00 AM game a few years ago and the Nutter Center was empty.
