Change this to 2005-2006 games...
also...

who would u like to see on the non conference schedule..we know we have Hawaii, Wisconsin for sure..I think St. Louis was a home and home no???

I think Georgetown would be cool..get a major team from a major conference that is ok but not great...

[schmizzle]

Back in March, I talked to former assistant coach Ken Johnson about the schedule for next year.....He said that Wake Forest is willing to come play AT the Cell since they are recruiting area players (Can't remember the names). So don't be surprised to see the Demon Deacons on our schedule next year!!

[Pantherholic]

Jerry Smith is one of them, don't know anymore

if we get wake that'd be cool, but they did lose chris paul to the draft along with a bunch of seniors, so it is possible that they may not be as good as this last season. granted i'd rather see us playa weaker wake forest team than a strong prarrie view A+M.

i'd also like to see another big 10 school, mich st, indiana, or iowa. i'll pass on purdue thank you very much.

other random schools i'd like to see west virginia, vermont, s.illinois, notre dame, cough-marquette-ahem (sorry had to clear my throat), or stanford.

Getting Wake to come here would be AWESOME. I couldn't care if they lost every player on their roster, they are still an ACC team.

Just to be clear: We haven't reached the point where we can be picky about who we play as it relates to BCS schools. We need to play them when and where they dictate, not us. If any BCS school offers to come here, you better believe we would jump on it faster than you can blink.

Just remember Purdue gave us all we could handle and more. If Northwestern or Purdue said we will play in Milwaukee you gotta believe we are going to take it. I could see Purdue maybe playing here with Carl Landry being a senior and being from Milwaukee, Georgia Tech came back to Chicago to play UIC because they had a kid from Chicago. But Wake at home would be tight, and I would hope we could get a sellout at the Cell if we got a large names opponent like that...yah

btw...good job Dunzz...keep it up playah

[Kingsbury]

You are correct about Wake coming to play at the Cell, but this was only if they land Smith. Itwas a 2 for 1 deal with UWM playing at Wake the next 2 years and Wake returning the game when smith would be a SO. As for playing other big name programs, I know the coaches were looking to sign a contract with Michigan and were looking into the preseason NIT.

I don't know the staus of any of these contracts after BP left, but this is what I have so far for a non-conference schedule.

@wisconsin
@montana
@sd State
Hawai'i
St. Louis
WI-Parkside
@ BB - Or at least BP was tring to get an away game again.

[Kroener3535]

who is @ BB?

[Kingsbury]

Pearl had put in a request for an away Bracket Buster Game.

[PantherLou]

What was the rationale for playing an away bracketbuster game again? I assume that it would be for the added RPI value, but is it possible that we already had enougn home NC games scheduled?

[ob1wisc]

I would like to get the bracketbuster at the CELL...we always have to travel for that thing...we should garner some respect from the country this year...this will hurt us in the non conferance schdueling issue
