Just think how well prepared they'll be for the MEAC season after that. They have won the conference and gotten an auto-bid a handful of times before; I suppose these few weeks would also prepare them well for a potential first-round matchup in that instance. Their '96-'97 team was only the third 15 seed ever to beat a 2 seed (South Carolina), and they came one point away from beating 10 seed Texas the next game and advancing to the Sweet 16.Wow - I just looked at their schedule: 11/9, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/15, 11/17, 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/27.
That's absolutely insane. 10 games in 2.5 weeks.
Modern day barnstormers!Wow - I just looked at their schedule: 11/9, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/15, 11/17, 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/27.

Holy hell. That is beyond brutal. How anyone can look at this stretch and the fact that most of these are buy games explicitly funding their athletic department and not think players should be paid is beyond me.Wow - I just looked at their schedule: 11/9, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/15, 11/17, 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/27.

Or at least protected against having to play that many games in that few number of days. Here's to hoping no player gets injured due to exhaustion.Holy hell. That is beyond brutal.

Juan Dixon was on the 2002 Maryland National Championship team, who we lost to in the Elite 8. I hope we win by 50 on Saturday.I was watching this game, Coppin State's coach got ejected after 2 techs. Former NBA player Juan Dixon is their coach
Why? Because the only time they can get these types of games is early in the season. Coppin needs these games to fund their program. You can sell kids on playing against top teams, and kids this time of year would rather play than practice anyways.I don’t know why a player would play for a school that schedules like that.
I don’t know why schools like us schedule teams that schedule like that.
Worthless for everyone involved (except at least 1 AD).
I agree. Hurley always complains about how D2 exhibitions are totally useless and then goes out and schedules as many 300+ kenpom as he can find for OOC.I don’t know why schools like us schedule teams that schedule like that.
Love it or hate it, we've been doing it this way forever.I agree. Hurley always complains about how D2 exhibitions are totally useless and then goes out and schedules as many 300+ kenpom as he can find for OOC.
They went 1-9 for that stretch, but on the bright side their athletic program is funded through 2032.Wow - I just looked at their schedule: 11/9, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/15, 11/17, 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/27.

It's part of their business model and have been doing it for years.Holy hell. That is beyond brutal. How anyone can look at this stretch and the fact that most of these are buy games explicitly funding their athletic department and not think players should be paid is beyond me.
