2025-26 Schedule

[ClonerJams]

I sometimes forget roster reconstruction is constant these days. To top this list losing 2 huge scorers and 3 total starters is wild.

In the era of the portal, retaining your 3 best players is a huge win. Hopefully the pieces we brought in fit well.

Am I right to assume that they need to bring back exhibition games for added revenue? Even an exhibition against Northwestern and Creighton would likely be a sellout.

October basketball tailgate this fall, since CyTown is 2 years away, sign me up 11/10 times

Yep! To me watching Northwestern @ Iowa State will be a fun game. It will not be any less of a good experience because it offically an Exhibition instead of a Regular Season game. Basically, playing Northwestern home and home as an Exhibition is better than not playing Northwestern home and home at all.

St John’s will be top 3-5 in early season polls.

I’d guess Creighton will be borderline top 25? Really don’t know what they have this coming season.

The people running it weren't even sure until very recently.

St John’s will be top 3-5 in early season polls.

I’d guess Creighton will be borderline top 25? Really don’t know what they have this coming season.

Book it, St John's will be ripe for the picking early in the season.

Seems like organizers would, like, wanna know a lot earlier, doesn't it?

You'd think so, but that speaks to the general half-assedness of the operation.
