I am guessing we have:
Oral Roberts - Away Bowling Green - Away Northeastern - Home Central Florida - Home Non DI - home Non DI - home Exempt tournament through Gazelle Group (3-4 games: 1-3 high majors on road; 1-3 mid-majors at neutral/away; possibly at Calihan)
I would still like to see us develop one decent non-conference rival we play every year, automatically: Ideally Dayton or Xavier, but more realistically Toledo, EMU, CMU, WMU, or Loyola.

How quickly you forget Commish. There will be 18 HL games! So you'll need to cut back some non-conference games.

Heard today that we are in talks with Loyola and they seem open to a series. Likely to happen if the schools can agree on date. I would really like to see this happen.
Also heard that we we will likely play anywhere from one to three "buy games" on the road.
The at Oral Roberts game is November 28.

Thanks for the news. Hopefully, this is the year we get a win over a power five or highly ranked opponent. We need a win like that. Maybe one of those buy games will be it.

Nice. Moving closer to that official Glass City vs Motor City rivalry I've been pushing. :-) UT is certainly playing a lot of HL teams. Makes sense: Low travel costs, inter- and intra-state rivalries, fan familiarity with opponents. Smart scheduling.

In last year's schedule thread I noted that the Titans had worked to establish a relationship with the Gazelle Group for exempt tournaments. udtitanbasketball.freeforums.net/post/2793. We were in Gazelle sponsored tournaments for 6 straight years through last year. This year it appears that Gazelle sponsored events: The Legends, Gotham, CBE, and 2K Classics, are full. www.gazellegroup.com/home/There are still a few exempt tournaments looking for teams. www.bloggingthebracket.com/2013/12/2/5166356/2015-16-college-basketball-early-season-tournaments-events-MTE. Those include the Coaches v. Cancer tournament, the Portland State Tournament, Fresno State Tournament, Global Sports Showcase, Hilltop Challenge (at U. San Francisco), Cure UCD Classic in Puerto Vallarta, and the Global Sports Hardwood Classic. If we don't play in an exempt tournament this year, we will have just 10 non-conference games this year.

The rest of the non-conference schedule is out, with Pittsburgh, Oral Roberts (as expected), Vanderbilt, Western Kentucky, and Eastern Michigan. That means the Titans won't be playing an exempt tournament.
I like the schedule--some good non-conference mid-majors (mainly at home), a couple high majors on the road but winnable games, a game at EMU (which will presumably be returned next year). 29 games total including the Conference tilts. I've updated the schedule at the top of this thread.

Good schedule. Maybe a little tougher than I would have liked. Glad to see EMU back on the schedule. In fact, with Toledo and EMU on the road, that's almost like two extra home games for me.
