I haven't really heard anything about WU's schedule for this upcoming season. Here's the little bit I do know:

Confirmed Games:
@ Georgia - Dec. 5 (http://www.georgiadogs.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball)
@ VCU - Dec. 19 (http://www.vcuathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2017-18/releases/20170726lxuihv)

Likely Games:
@ Colorado State (http://www.reporterherald.com/sports/ci_31152329/colorado-state-basketball-face-oregon-florida-state-non)
@ Furman (Furman played at WU last season, I'd think that WU would return the game)

If you read the link for the Colorado State game, it mentions that the WU game with them is in conjunction with some sort of Multi-Team event that may have games in Jamaica. There's no information about this tournament anywhere else that I can find so far. The other teams mentioned that could be included in the tournament/event are Florida State, Tulane, and Northwestern State...there may be others, but I have no idea what type of event this is and what the format may be.

Also, the college basketball season starts on Friday, Nov. 10...WU Homecoming is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 18. This will be the first time since WU moved Homecoming to the Fall where it won't be the first game of the season. The reason for the move seems to be so that WU Homecoming doesn't compete with high-profile football games in the state (Clemson hosts FSU, USC hosts Florida on Nov. 11)...Clemson and USC both have home games on the 18th as well, but against low-profile opponents (Wofford and Citadel).

I'll update this thread as I find out more about the schedule...has anyone else heard anything?

Non-conference schedule released......

The Panthers will play five games inside the Millis Center during the non-conference portion of the season, with five more on the road and one neutral-site game.

The Panthers will open with a home exhibition game against Averett on Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. before drawing the curtain on the regular season at home against William & Mary on Nov. 10 at 8 p.m.

HPU will travel to SEC foe Tennessee for a Tuesday night contest at 7 p.m. on Nov. 14 before hosting The Citadel (Nov. 18 – 7 p.m.) and Methodist (Nov. 21 – 8 p.m.) in back-to-back home games.

Following Thanksgiving, the Purple & White will travel to Charlotte on Nov. 24 and Pitt on Nov. 28 before welcoming Johnson & Wales on Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.

High Point will play at College of Charleston on Dec. 4 before hosting Toccoa Falls in a Sunday matinee on Dec. 10 at 2 p.m.

The Panthers will travel to the western part of the state to face off against Wofford as part of the Mountain Invitational at the U.S. Cellular Center in Asheville on Dec. 17. HPU will then play at Western Carolina on Dec. 19 to close out the non-conference portion of the season.

"We try to balance our games home and away by not killing ourselves with four of five in a row on the road, while also hosting opponents that people in our area will recognize and going to places that are easily drivable," Cherry said. "We were also able to work with Coach McDevitt of UNC Asheville to plan the Mountain Invitational, where we will play Wofford and then they will host Western Carolina. It was a good neutral-site game to help balance out the schedule."

A couple of games on the schedule have been uncovered this week on other teams' schedules that have been released:

Home vs. SC State - Sunday, Nov. 26 (http://www.scsuathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball)

@ Furman - Wednesday, Nov. 29 (http://www.furmanpaladins.com/sports/m-baskbl/2017-18/schedule)

So here's where we stand now:

Confirmed Games:

Home vs. Southern Illinois - Friday, Nov. 10 (http://www.siusalukis.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball)
Home vs. SC State - Sunday, Nov. 26 (http://www.scsuathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball)

@ Furman - Wednesday, Nov. 29 (http://www.furmanpaladins.com/sports/m-baskbl/2017-18/schedule)
@ Georgia - Dec. 5 (http://www.georgiadogs.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball)

@ VCU - Dec. 19 (http://www.vcuathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2017-18/releases/20170726lxuihv)

Likely Games:

@ Colorado State (http://www.reporterherald.com/sports/ci_31152329/colorado-state-basketball-face-oregon-florida-state-non)

So that still leaves 5-7 opponents that we don't yet know about...

Shoutbox

wualum: Do the members of the Big South share in tournament revenue or is that kept by the participating schools? Feb 27, 2023 13:01:27 GMT -5

wualum: Well... close loss to upstate without Talford. suprising win on road against Gardner-Webb. Was very nervous is second half. First half was incredible, but you knew couldn't last. Feb 16, 2023 15:00:07 GMT -5

wualum: This team finds a way to lose games. Hightower didn't play most of second half and we should have won. Foul trouble is killing us. Maybe WU has to play more zone to avoid the fouls. Feb 7, 2023 13:42:22 GMT -5

wualum: must say, the second half was impressive Feb 2, 2023 14:29:09 GMT -5

punisher: Winthrop Baseball is in need for a change at the top, nothing personal but Tom is not a fit, and with 6 or 7 of the teams in the conference above 200 RPI, this woefully underperforming situation calls for a move in what is a poor conference. May 1, 2022 18:35:11 GMT -5

wualum: Not surprised at either. Neither seemed to thrive in Prosser's slower tempo. How much did Longwood's rise contribute to this? Their guards were bigger, stronger and got into the lane almost at will in the championship game. Mar 30, 2022 13:35:55 GMT -5

wualum: Coach Gray seems to be a quality coach. He will get WCU headed in the right direction. Happy for Russ. He was not going to get significant minutes here Mar 21, 2022 14:59:19 GMT -5

wualum: just joined the board, so just reading your post. Looking back an the season in it's entirety, I think your points were valid. Longwood has built a team to beat Winthrop. We need to adjust to that reality. Upstate appears as if they are trying to same Mar 7, 2022 15:18:32 GMT -5

wualum: King has already left the program. He is definitely gone. I don't see Corbin back either. I think Anumba has an extra year if he wishes to stay....but probably headed to the Italian pro leagues. Mar 7, 2022 11:39:20 GMT -5

eaglefan: Lost to Longwood today Jan 29, 2022 22:02:14 GMT -5

eaglefan: I think those WCU fans warned us about Prosser. Jan 24, 2022 22:02:12 GMT -5

hpufan15: Just joined! Glad this message board got created! Anyone follow any other active big south messages boards? The high point one has like 3 people and I miss of course the old winthrop one and uncafans. Jan 12, 2022 3:42:53 GMT -5

eaglefan: I guess no one is either excited or cares that Mark Prosser was hired? Apr 4, 2021 14:59:32 GMT -5

Admin: Welcome to the Shoutbox. Got something to say, say it here!!! Mar 16, 2021 20:00:54 GMT -5
