The non-conference schedule was released today:

10-30    NW MO State (Exhibition)
11-7      Green Bay
11-13    Iowa
11-19    Nebraska
Thanksgiving Weekend: FIU Thanksgiving Classic. No schedule/opponents set yet but that's where we will be.
12-1     Lindenwood
12-6     @ South Dakota
12-10   @ Creighton
12-18    SW Baptist (Exhibition)
12-22     @ Iowa State

Outside of the Lindenwood & Exhibition games, all of our known opponents should be in the NCAA Tournament conversation. The SW Baptist game scheduling is unusual, my only thought is maybe it was the only way to get a home game in mid-December.

There are now 20 MVC Games to look forward to. We should have that schedule in the next couple of weeks.

Conference schedule is out. We will not be hosting Indiana State or going to Evansville this year. Still not entirely clear (men or women) how that is being determined.

For anyone that listens to the Drake Sports Media Podcast podcasts, the Be Blue Podcast (women's basketball one) has a Valley Preview episode that was released last Friday. Really thorough analysis by Hunter Phillips (I think it was him at least, radio guy for WBB) and Laura Leonard. Those two really knew a ton about each team, went from 1 - 12 with insightful comments on who each teams were bringing back, who they brought in, what to expect. Really well done.

Would love to see a similar podcast diving into the conference rivals for the men, get Emmenecker on there as a guest I'm sure he's got loads of MVC knowledge.
