So I'm guessing we'll get no more national media stories that we "cheated" because we had the #18 overall SOS but our non conf was easy?
Iowa State Schedules Purdue for MBB
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
I have many Purdue Alumni friends and have lived with some in the past.
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
so known schedule so far
- 3 TBD high major games in Vegas for Players Era over Thanksgiving Week
- at Purdue
- Iowa in Ames
- Fairleigh Dickinson in Ames
- Stonehill in Ames
- Houston Christian in Ames
would be pleasantly surprised at 1 more high major or even a good mid major
I was hoping after our home and home with Michigan we'd get more like this.
Please continue this.
Please continue this.
Love this. More of it please. Although I do hate watching games on tv played at Mackey Arena.
Something odd about the lighting, court color, and they put electronic boards that have white that are perfectly situated to be behind the net. Weird gripe I know but this will be fun series.

Crazy this Purdue home and home series is best since that series
We'll probably add the annual MVS game and then either UMKC or Omaha. It would be nice to get some Valley teams in Hilton instead of sub-300 games.
Prohm did get us a home and home with Oregon State and Cincinnati. Lol.
20 conference games + 5 scheduled power(ish) non-conference games. I doubt we see any other high-majors but I'd welcome it. At least bring in a Valley or one of the "Atlantic" A10 teams instead of the dregs of the SoCon
Keep in mind that the Big East/Big 12 challenge is done so this is likely replacing what should be a quality Big East team...
Its been said they are going back to 18 games next year
Iowa State is playing in the Players Era Festival in Vegas next year and the filed is loaded. We won't be adding another quality opponent.
It was a separate home and home in November in 2017 and 2018. TJ had a couple Missouri games as part of the SEC challenge.
Creighton Creighton Creighton!!!
A home/home or home/neutral/away (neutral being... Des Moines? Sioux Falls?) would print money for both sides and be a big TV draw on an otherwise slow night early in the season.
The master versus the student narrative is always a good one to build up hype.
