We get Eastern Michigan Monday @ CA and then Loyola (IL) Tuesday @ CA
I don't know anything about these teams but Eastern Michigan lost to Georgia by 1 and Loyola IL beat them by 20. Either Georgia is really bad or these guys are decent.
Georgia is pathetic.
Eastern Michigan got the s^&* kicked out of them by Purdue.
I was hoping we might get one of the bigger programs, for the sake of competition and exposure.
Neither of these teams finished .500 last year...should be 2 wins...should be.
It looks like they didn't match up any of the "bigger" programs. Would have been interesting to see Arizona visit. Likely a loss but still I would rather play a big conference foe.
Arizona in CA would have been amazing. How often do we get to play an OOC giant like Arizona is CA!!?!? It would have been UNREAL. STJ should have been pushing hard for that. Automatic sellout.
Their fans travel well.
It would've been a sellout and a good experience for the players.
The other hope was that we'd play Davidson-forcing noted Queens tanner Chris Monasch to be in CA with Bob McKillop.
Hell, maybe McKillop could've looked around and seen what he'd like to change about the coaches' offices.
