At Vanderbilt?? That's the big game?? Man, I sure hope we have some home games this next season

Vandy is a good game on the road. They're going to be pretty solid next year and will be a very tough opponent for ISU. Hopefully we can get one other big-time BCS school on the schedule (Notre Dame, Purdue last year) and play a few better mid-majors to boost the RPI a bit.

All the same, they just need to play better in the non-conference portion this season regardless, which I don't think will be too much of an issue.

better Vandy than a East, West ky or michigan... OR Chicago State...

Good get for Ron and Greg

Look for a lower division team on the schedule too when it comes out. Oh well.

Exactly. Then throw in the possibility of 2 or 3 BCS schools in Orlando and it's pretty good scheduling. :basketball: :basketball:

I agree it's a good game, I was just hoping it'd be a home game, last year's road heavy non-con schedule seemed to backfire prior to the MVC season.

Yeah; that home and home with NC State (opening on the road for them)
would have been a good series for us.

NC State has a ton more MBB history/tradition than Vandy BUT Vandy's ok; in T-H would have been the cherry on the sundae

Any time the Trees can get a game with a potential top 25 team we must take it. On the road is better than not at all. This will be great preparation for the Valley season and rpi boost.

Hope this game finds its way onto TV. That would be a double bonus.

ISU - Vanderbilt series

stands at 1 - 1

we lost there in Dec 1981 (66 -72); 9-18 on the season, Hodges' last season
we won at home in 1984 (88-77); 14-15 on the season, Schellhase's last season...

Good grief; let's hope win or lose it's not Lansing's last season! :bigsmile:
