We’re playing YSU on a Sunday in December, which is odd, and I’m glad because I think I can attend the game. Then I saw YSU is playing Notre Dame today. I took a look at YSU’s schedule and they play a lot of games on Sunday. I wonder what that is all about.

That is odd. Currently watching WMU vs Valparaiso, Norman Jr. with 11 pts in first half. 36-40 Val at half

Didn't we used to have a few more Sunday games over the years? Seems like we played St Bonny, Kent, and few others on Sundays in the past.

I can't speak for non-conference games, but when our former Bobcat was on the staff at Wright State the Horizon League used a travel partner model. You'd be on the road at the same time as a nearby league school and play the same two opponents. So let's say Wright State and Northern Kentucky are partners. They'd both go to Wisconsin with one playing first at Milwaukee and the other at Green Bay. Then they'd switch opponents.

These were either Thursday/Saturday or Friday/Sunday. My opinion is that this schedule is probably less disruptive to academics and might save a bit on travel costs. The downside from a basketball perspective is you have one day in between games instead of two or three.

Ivy League does (did) something similar. However, they'd play back-to-back days - Friday/Saturday.
I believe the Pac-12 also had travel partners (Arizona/ASU; UCLA/USC; Stanford/Cal; Wash/Wash St/Oregon/OSU). Not sure if they still do.

Norman scores 25 of WMU's 65 in loss at Valpo. Would love to see him paired up with injured B-Artis White. White was one of the top players in the state of Michigan coming out of high school a few years ago but missed some of last year and hasn't played yet this season.

If Norman doesn't garner all-MAC votes at the end of this season, he'll definitely get votes for best/worst hairdo (based on perspective) for an afro that's split evenly down the middle between a natural black and a dyed blonde.

The MAC used to do that in women's soccer and probably other sports too, but TV/money dictate more when games are played more than anything.

Makes sense if you’re on the road vs Toledo and BG or Akron and Kent. I wonder who we would match up with.
