Texas Schedule Released

[schooner2]

You will find UT's schedule here (http://www.texassports.com/mainpages/wbb_pages/2002_03/02_sched.html).

The conference schedule matrix (http://hoopscoop.net/big12wbb/b12sched2003.htm) is updated once again. ISU's schedule is close enough to being filled in that I am able to make a good guess at their remaining schedule (shown in red) - all except for which date they will play at Missouri.

Looks like a good one except for Southeastern La.(see Baylor). I just don't understand that one. Anyway, I'm ready for October 15th and for the season to get underway.

More bad 'uns than you think BigUT, looks like a rollercoaster ride with lots of very high highs and some fairly deep lows-

Ending 2002 RPI of non-conf opponents:
34 BYU up!
297 McNeese State down
255 SW Texas St down
36 New Mexico up!
26 TCU up!
251 SE Louisana down
191 TX Arlington down
1 Tenn Top of the world!
25 LSU up!
212 Texas A&M Corpus Christi down
88 Ohio ST steady

Maybe UT and Tech's non conf schedules are reflective of the topography of their area: UT's is a ride over the hills and valleys of the hill country with one especially steep peak. Tech's is a fairly flat ride at decent elevation, no noticible big hills and only a couple of dips. http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

You are right, DblT. This schedule has some real extremes. The home schedule in particular (outside of Tenn. and TCU) is full of what should be lopsided contests. The road schedule, highlighted by LSU and New Mexico, will be challenging, but very winnable.

As for the conference schedule, I was a bit disappointed in the weekend games at home - Baylor, Kansas, Nebraska, and A&M. Baylor will be tough but the others should be wins. The really big ones - Tech, OU and Colorado - are during the week. That's just my opinion on the matchups. Not living in the immediate Austin area, its hard for me to make mid-week games lots of times.

Murderer's row for us in conference: BU, TTU, @KSU, @OU. http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/eek.gif
