Iowa State Schedules Purdue for MBB

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?
 
Well, that sucks. I was hoping we'd add another Power 5 game but the Purdue game seems to be a replacement for that.
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
guessing 4 more low major games in Ames

would be pleasantly surprised at 1 more high major or even a good mid major
 
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.

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.
 
With 18 conf games I'd love one more high major. That would still leave 6 buy games like this year

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

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.

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.
