I was wondering if you guys could help me with next years schedule. I'm unsure who we still have home and homes with, and was curious if we have added anybody new for 06-07. Hopefully we still have the Duke game, any truth to the rumors that we will be in the Maui Classic. Thanks for any info.

hearing a December game with Ohio State. Michigan may be on the sched as well. We'll travel to Vandy next season also. I've heard UCLA bounced around too. I would love to get some teams with contrasting styles, so as to better prepare us for the tourney.

Oooooooo. Ohio State with Ogden, correct? A game with the emerging Texas A&M squad would be fun also.

Yeah, OSU has the best incoming class and it better take place next season cause Oden is gone after one.

We also have the return games with Navy, JMU, Duke, Oregon, and Fairfield.
There is also a rumored matchup with GMU, but I don't think it has been mentioned in ink.

Guaranteed games:
Navy (MCI/McDonough ??)
JMU (MCI/McDonough ??)
Oregon (MCI)
Fairfield (unless we buy our way out of this terrible game - seriously if TBird had elligibility left he could have a triple double)
Duke (HB Roadtrip ??)
Rumored:
GMU (early in the OOC)
UCLA
Florida
Michigain
Ohio State
Big 12 opponent
Great Alaska/Maui

The return game at Vanderbilt is in there too. Did that game occur within the Hispanic Classic? Do we have to play them again or is it at our discretion since it was part of the classic? Also, does that mean that we'd have to buy out Savannah State and Stetson in order to avoid those games on the road? |

A game with OSU would be awesome. It would be a no-brainer national broadcast with Hibbert going against Oden. I just hope it would be in DC - I want to see this Oden Manchild myself before he goes pro.

But apparently our discretion was to give both of them a return game, cause those were in the "definite" column when I heard about them. |

The Vandy game will be around the same time as this season, I'm guessing? That's a shame since I'll be in Prague for the fall, I rather enjoy the pre-conference stretch and I have friends at Vandy with whom I could have stayed over.

I just hope it would be in DC - I want to see this Oden Manchild myself before he goes pro. I love Roy and know he's got a lot of room to improve, but that matchup would not be pretty. Oden is too athletic/quick. Now Ticket and PE JR fighting above rim with Oden would be the added help that Roy needs because Roy would have a lot of problems with the athletic/quick Oden--which as you will eventually see is not a knock on Roy--just a hint of how great Oden is. |

Hibbert would have problems but you are still short changing him. I don't care how quick or athletic Oden is because Hibbs won't be guarding him on the perimeter. In a halfcourt setting Hibbert has a chance against anyone not currently in the NBA. He can get off his shot and have a chance at disrupting a shot against anybody. The Ohio State front court next season will not present any more of a problem than the Florida front court. Oden may win the battle but I don't think at this point in Hibbert's development that he will be embarrassed by any non-professional big man.

I never did figure out what was it about USF that they were able to take Roy completely out of his rhythm. No doubt he's good and next year I expect he will be a man-beast, but a handful of teams seemed to figure him out this year. |

You have to equate Oden as an NBA big--guy would've been #1 pick LAST YEAR as a JR and this year--that is a talent and he can dominate games without scoring--which Roy can't do--yet. Seeing Roy in person makes me appreciate his work ethic and how far he's come but also see how far he's got to go for next level--but I have faith. Now Macklin is type who could give Oden trouble because of his quickness/quick leaping and same with PE JR attacking style. Roy would be bothered by this kid's quickness and athleticism. Roy's lower body isn't strong enough yet--he really needs to work on strengtening his legs and using them to power up more.
Defensively, his size would give Oden trouble, as Oden's unpolished offensively but he's a quick jumper and anyone with quickness gives Roy some problems--nothing he can do about that--and if there is, Roy will try and work to improve it. Just being honest though--and seeing him in person, I'm amazed at his improvement because he's limited athleticially and really labors in running/getting shots up due to no strength in legs.

I never did figure out what was it about USF that they were able to take Roy completely out of his rhythm. No doubt he's good and next year I expect he will be a man-beast, but a handful of teams seemed to figure him out this year. I don't think it has as much to do with them figuring out Roy as it was III having a quick trigger when it came to pulling Roy. If Roy gets off to a non-stellar start III seems to get a bit itchy to go back to his more perimeter style of offense by taking Hibbert out of the game. He doesn't do this if Wallace gets off slow or if Green starts off badly. Only Hibbert. And Bowman too. During the Hoyas' first lost to St John's all people wanted to write on these forums was that Roy couldn't handle small, quick big men. My argument was that they couldn't handle him either if Roy got the ball inside. Even if he got off to a slow start and even if he was beaten at first in the early going I pointed out that if you stuck with him he could/would turn the odds back to his favor. Sure enough the second time the Hoyas played St John's this season Hibbert dominated those same big men for the Red Storm. However if Hibbert had been ineffective early that second game I'm pretty sure III would have yanked him quickly again without giving him the chance to get in a rhythm. This is one thing I never understood. |

Oden is a very different player than Roy, even though they are both centers. Oden is like a Dwight Howard or Amare Stoudamaire, where Roy is sort of a Yao Ming. I guarantee that Oden has never seen anyone that's Roy's size, but I also doubt that Roy has played against a 7 footer who can jump like Oden. Whatever. We're getting WAY ahead of ourselves. Still, if Roy improves as much this summer as he did last summer a GU-OSU matchup could decide the number one pick in the draft! Alright, a bit farfetched, but so is George Mason being in the final four.
