And the OOC portion is ridiculous! Only Texas, DePaul and Notre Dame are potential ranked teams, and the game against Texas isn't guaranteed. Home games are Arkansas State, Butler Notre Dame and IPFW. I may not be getting season tickets this year after all.

This had better not be the start of a trend ...

Centenary? Valparaiso? Butler? Not trying to diss Purdue's schedule, but those are weak teams.

The Arkansas State game is interesting. I think that program might be on the rise. Didn't Arkansas State upset Arkansas last year?

I'm sorry PUMatty Crying or Very sad

Duke and Purdue had back-to-back neutral court matchups (in Raleigh and Indy, so not-so-neutral courts). I was hoping the teams would continue the series...maybe start a home-and-home set.

Matty, our OOC isn't great either. We have Texas on the road, Tennessee at home. We have Auburn at home. We have Penn State on the road, as the return trip of a home-and-home. We have Old Dominion on the road. And we also have Arkansas State at home. Not that great, though the Texas and Tennesse games should be good.

With the ACC only playing 14 games, Duke is the only team to have UNC and Maryland twice. That should help in terms of playing top-25 opponents.

I wish the Pac-10 would reduce conference games from 18 to 14. Washington State, Cal and Oregon State twice a season is just too much (though the latter two may improve with their new coaches and talent influx in Cal's case). We could then improve our non-conference schedule.

West Coast bias? Laughing

I like Cal a lot too (and that was before Boyle and the possibility of Gemelos and Darrett)

What's making me cranky these days, is the AIS are pretty much approaching young players with the line 'If you want to keep in BA's good books, you'll come to the AIS and not go to Uni in the states.' I know there are certain programs in the US that would only hinder our girls' developement, however there are certain programs that would help our national team become solid across the board - and for many years to come. I'll speak from what I have as experience - a young player I've been working with for the last year or so (a lot of the Aussies will know who I'm refering to, and I hope you'll understand my desire to keep her unnamed right now) still has a year and a half left of highschool, she has a VERY promising career and she's already established herself as a decent player in the ABA ranks (there is another player I can think of right now from one of the Brisbane clubs who fits into this rant also). So many people have been telling this certain player to 'Stay in Australia. There's no point in you going to the US, you'll only get lost in the system.'

What I dont get, is why Basketball Aus is trying so hard to restrict the advancement of our players. Do they WANT us to win or not?

I know that headed a little bit off topic, but I felt the need to rant.

Well you could go to the AIS *and* then go to college (see Jessica Foley, Eleanor Haring, Gabrielle Richards, Hanna Zavecz).

I think I know the player you're talking about AAEmotion and I'd certainly advise her to seriously consider college (especially considering past rants about certain aspects of basketball here).

AAEmotion · Posted: 09/01/05 5:00 am :::

Gee, Keegs, those rants wouldn't have anything to do with post coaching in Australia would they? Rolling Eyes

I would think for a year where Purdue could go deep in the NCAA Tourney, they would beef up their competition to a level that could make them a 2 seed or a 1 seed over a 3 or 4. Oh well, Purdue is dangerous this year. They are one of the Big Ten's best, if not the best from that conference. And this year, they'll be experienced. Go Boilers!
