BasketBulls announce non-con schedule

[JoeB]

Was hoping the Washington Generals were on the home schedule...maybe next year

I don’t think most C. Florida fans are smart enough to put 3 and 6 together when the season is over and we have a lot more wins than the previous few years.

Tough to make a schedule that is worse than last season but they somehow figured it out, I'll give them credit for that...

[USFBULL_08]

do they not have the same mentality as football scheduling?

There's an old saying, "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best."

It's pretty clear we just want to be mediocre.

That said, after the past couple of years, mediocre doesn't sound so horrible.

This is a confidence building schedule and wasn't designed to get us into any tourneys outside maybe the NIT. I believe the staff thinks we have to build up they guys confidence and the easiest way to do so it to win games. Next season I would look for a more challenging schedule especially if Coach Gregory believes they can make the tourney.

Lame.

Shouldn't be about building confidence (how can you build confidence against low level opposition)?  It's about development and getting better, building skills, building a team.  Assuming CBG intends the conference games to be the tougher opposition on which to build greater skills is enough for this patchwork team.

I coach a local team and would rather play up and lose by 10 than play down and win by 20.

But you're not trying to resurrect a program.  I agree with you from a development standpoint.  You get better against better competition. 

But, the USF program has to balance out WINS with development.  This thin non-con schedule is hopeful to do just that.  I don't really mind it, but if I were CBG, I'd like a tough opponent or two tossed in there before conference play.
