He's missing Jackson State, American, and Mt. St. Mary's. The Notre Dame addition is excellent, though, kudos to both Coach Cooley and Coach Shrewsbury for putting that on the schedule. Both teams will be rebuidling next season, but should be pretty good in 24-25.

plus the following OOC home games Jackson State American Mount Saint Mary there is only 1 OOC home game left to schedule to meet the 16 game home contract with Cap One I’m pretty sure we’ve had 7 or 8 home games in non-conference schedule in the last few years so if there’s a contract for 16 games it would appear that this isn’t a maximum…

The Notre Dame series is an absolutely great bit of scheduling. Cooley hasn't always scheduled the best schedules, so it's a good sign.

I'm gonna hold off on the "great" designation. ND is a down program right now, I would be quite surprised if they are able to make a huge improvement in 2 seasons; let's see if we continue the series after that. Same with Syracuse, a down program in transition. Would love to see continued improvements in our scheduling, let's see how we schedule OOC a couple of years from now.

Cuse has a chance to be really good this year as their starting backcourt could both be taken in the 1st round next year as well as some 4*s off the bench. Just need a solid frontcourt to be a tournament team so I love playing them this year. TCU will be a tournament team and Notre Dame/Rutgers will at worst be a Quad 2 game. We’ve got a nice OOC schedule for us to win some games. Hoping for a real MTC and then I’ll be real happy.

Syracuse - a coach without head coaching experience following a legend - not usually a recipe for success.

Same with Syracuse, a down program in transition. Would love to see continued improvements in our scheduling, let's see how we schedule OOC a couple of years from now. That's actually why I think it's a great bit of scheduling. Part of the art to scheduling out of conference teams is to get teams that are going to have a pretty good strength of schedule overall. Being in the ACC, Notre Dame will likely have a fairly good schedule (though the ACC has been weak of late). On top of that, Notre Dame had a very down year last year, but unlike Georgetown, they were only horrible 1 year. So, the odds that Shrewsbury will get them back in a better place is high (even if they aren't that good overall). The real key to the OCC is getting teams in that top 100-ish range. You don't need to schedule 5 games in the top 25, but you also cannot scheudle 5 games sub-300, which basically makes it impossible to make the NCAA tournament without being exceptional in-conference. I also like that we are getting Notre Dame away this year, because they'll be vulnerable, we can win, and a win away OOC is always looked on well should we be better than expected and contend for anything. I do want to see Cooley eventually get us back into some of the good November tournaments like Maui once he feels like we are NCAA competitive. Those tournaments provide good opportunities for the team to notch good wins, and also to get experience. This year wasn't the year (and too late since the fields are often set well in advance), but we might be ready in 2024-2025. Those tournaments are fun and good proving grounds. But overall, home and home series with high major conference teams are almost always good for the schedule.

"Earlier this week, we reported that the Merrimack men’s basketball team will head to Ohio State for a non-conference game on Nov. 15. The Warriors secured three more notable non-conference opponents, including trips to Florida, Georgetown, and Cincinnati." www.themackreport.com/p/three-more-non-conference-games-for
