FGCU @ Florida
Belmont @ Kansas

Belmont v. KU has been called off for 2008 and will be on for Fall 2009.

I heard Mercer is hosting Georgia Tech next year.

That would be great! Any other info you've heard about?

Nothing new yet. I would love to see Mercer beat Tech though!

KSU - UGA rematch in the works. Going to Hawaii maybe.

Lipscomb - @ N.C. State and @ Indiana

AD confirms Mercer hosting Tech:
--------------------------------
We certainly appreciate your consideration to join the BearBacker Club for the coming year. With Coach Hoffman on board and some new recruits we look for a good season in basketball as well as all the other sports. Our basketball schedule this coming season includes a home game with Georgia Tech November 22 and membership guarantees you tickets to that game which we know will be sold out.

Great Deal for Mercer Fans:

And no, I don't work for the school, I just think this is a great deal.

What Mercer is not on the list?

Seriously though, I wish Mercer could play some games against other Private schools such as Wake and Davidson.

Trips to UF ($54,000), UM ($44,000) and I believe FSU.

The icing on the cake is when we open on the road with TEXAS. They wound up giving Stetson $92,000 to go there. Unreal.

As far as the other smaller OOC opponents, I have no idea.

Takecare

I found out a few more OOC opponents. They include the typical OOC opponents for Stetson:

Webber, Savannah State and Bethune Cookman.

Thanks for the information, 1883. The Hatters ought to have their best team in quite a while this year, would be awesome to shock one of the big boys like our A-Sun brothers did last winter. Goes along with that, though, can't sleepwalk against those other teams. Some of the OOC losses last season were downright embarrassing (I will forgive the Sav State loss due to the injury situation but the others...)

KSU's schedule is on the collegehoopsnet.com sked thread and their Owls Nest board as well I see.

EDIT: I can't count, evidently. 20 games it is.

A conference game on Dec 23rd?

I also thought I read Kennesaw State had a home tournament that isn't on that schedule. A couple other A-Sun games I found on that thread are Duquesne at USC Upstate (no date) and UNF at Charleston Southern (11/28), Campbell at App State (11/29), ETSU at App State (12/13).

Good find, HatterFan. Tis the season for hoops schedules!

I'm anxious to see who Campbell's first opponent in the new arena will be.

We play ETSU on the Dec. 23, UGA on New Years Eve, Stetson on Valentines day.... I'm about over the holiday games.

I was going to post that exact same thing! What is KSU's deal with scheduling games on major holidays?? They seem to enjoy it!

I found a reference to Mercer at UCLA on December 20 but my browser keeps freezing whenever I click on the link, a blog post from the Riverside (Calif.) Press Enterprise.

That would be a good one.
