OOC Opponents

We'll try to take a weekly look at the Mocs Out of Conference Opponents and what they have coming up schedule-wise. That means, that the nine known D-1 out of conference opponents and the other two teams from the Dr Pepper Classic will be examined.

Let's look at the schedules:

Tennessee
Nov 12 Chattanooga
November 16 Vs. Belmont in the Preseason NIT
November 17 Vs. Arkansas State/Missouri State in Preseason NIT

Austin Peay
Nov 12 at Saint Louis
Nov 15 at Chattanooga
Nov 18 at Lipscomb

Kennesaw State
Nov 12 GEO Southwestern
Nov 15 Georgia Tech
Nov 17 Chattanooga

Marshall
Nov 12 West Virginia Tech
Nov 15 Glenville State

Louisville
Nov 16 Butler

Jackson State
Nov 12 at TCU
Nov 15 at UCF
Nov 18 at Baylor

FIU
Nov 12 Florida Memorial
Nov 15 Barry
Nov 18 Florida State

Murray State
Nov 15 ETSU
Nov 17 at Ole Miss

Georgia State
Nov 16 at McNeese State
Nov 19 Troy

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
Nov 13 Northeastern State
Nov 15 Texas A&M
Nov 17 at Oklahoma State

Georgia Tech
Nov 12 Charleston Southern
Nov 15 at Kennesaw State
Nov 17 Albany
Nov 19 Niagara

These are all the games that happen between now and November 19.

Austin Peay is a team that the Mocs play twice. The Mocs will only play one of Georgia State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the Dr Pepper Classic (hopefully the winner of the game, unless the Mocs lose to Montreat).

Montreat and Reinhardt are the two non-D1s that the Mocs are playing. I will not be keeping track of their results and schedule- at least not on a weekly basis.

Two of our future opponents play each other this week, when Georgia Tech heads to Kennesaw State, in a big game for the Owls. Given that the Mocs play the Owls in a week, this is an interesting game to keep an eye on. The Yellow Jackets will have played them just two days before.

It is also interesting to keep an eye on ESPN2 when Louisville hosts Butler. That will be the opener of the new arena in Louisville. The Cardinals are not a great team, apparently. But if they could take out Butler, that may change my opinion.

GO MOCS!
