I just can't imagine why a P4/5/6 etc, would want to play a Mid Major team anymore. This is so obvious. It's not worth a loss. What I do like is seeing mid-major teams playing each other. But for what? a BBall tournament Expanded NIT.?

ROMORS here in Cbus about an OSU v. Bobcats exhibition at some point in October.

Sounds more like a closed scrimmage.

The rumor I heard specified an exhibition that would indeed be open to the public. That's as far as the rumor went, but perhaps it's being planned to benefit a charity. Buckeyes played a similar exhibition at Cinci last year.

We'll see soon enough.

BTW, "secret scrimmages" appear now to be a thing of the past with new NCAA rules that allow all D-1 teams to play up to 2 "exhibition" games against D-1 opponents. A number are already scheduled: Duke at Tennessee and home vs UCF. Tennessee has a second exhibition at Michigan. Coach Cal is trying to set one up between Arkansas and Memphis.

And according to the NCAA, if you still wish to hold a scrimmage with another team, it no longer has to be secret!

We have Marshall, likely a D2 or lower division opponent, and another game (Davidson?) and I think that is it. One would think they are all going to be in December. Marshall only has one December game scheduled so far.

FWIW, Davidson currently has games scheduled 12/7 and 12/22. I don't think that the NBA schedule is out and if that is a possibility that might be a requirement.

I doubt the Davidson thing was ever real.

They could still stick a game on the 8th but that's a loaded week. November looks full. Maybe something happens Thanksgiving Saturday, but that's an afterthought slot. Hopefully Marshall is put on that first December Saturday, or they find another D1 opponent. The second Saturday the Convo is booked for fall commencement. Need a Saturday home game against a D1 with students on campus.

Illinois St. game is a homecoming of sorts for HC Ryan Peden and center Chase Walker. Peden was an assistant coach at OSU. Walker was an all state player at Columbus St. Charles. There, he was a 6'9" 325 lb. behemoth. He's slimmed down to 280 and was an all-Missouri Valley Conference first team selection last year. Should be fun to watch.

Honestly, not a terrible home buy game. Maine won 20 games last season and lost to Bryant in the American East Championship game.

Beats hosting D2 teams.

They will have Cooper Flagg's younger brother as well.

If Ace Flagg is Cooper's younger brother, it is only by minutes.

Facing St. Bonnie’s in Cleveland on 12/13. Really impressed with the non-conference so far.

According to D1 Docket, @Louisville is Saturday 11/15. We host Bethune-Cookman Wednesday 11/19. They also show that we will host Marshall. Plus Illinois State and a home SBC Challenge game, nice start to the pre-conference home slate.

Starting to take shape. Guessing --

11/3 (season opener) -- SBC Challenge
11/8 -
11/11
11/15 - @Louisville
11/19 - Bethune-Cookman (Sunshine Slam)
11/24 - Sunshine Slam
11/25 - Sunshine Slam

February - SBC Challenge

Illinois State is likely the 8th or 11th. Marshall is probably a December game again.

Updated

11/3 Arkansas State -- SBC Challenge
11/8 -
11/11 - @ Saint Mary’s
11/15 - @Louisville
11/19 - Bethune-Cookman (Sunshine Slam)
11/24 - Sunshine Slam
11/25 - Sunshine Slam

February - SBC Challenge

Updated**

11/3 - Arkansas State -- SBC Challenge
11/6 - Illinois State
11/11 - @ Saint Mary’s
11/15 - @Louisville
11/19 - Bethune-Cookman (Sunshine Slam)
11/24 - Sunshine Slam
11/25 - Sunshine Slam
12/3 - Maine
12/13 - St. Bonnies (Cleveland)

Feb. - SBC Challenge

That's 10 games accounted for excluding Marshall - which looks like a December matchup. I think that leaves one more unknown game.

I mean this has to be one of the toughest non-con slates in school history. And yes....I know it's not Trent's pre-season NIT year champ schedule...but this has to be top 5 non-con slate in school history.
