This season is not quite over yet and hopefully there are still many games to come but I wanted to see if anyone has heard any rumblings about possible opponents next year?
Right now all I have is:
Conference 8 Home Games 8 Road Games
However, maybe the Horizon League adds another team to put the league back to 10 teams and 18 conference games.
Non-Conference: Home: IUPUI (Bracket Buster return game from the last Bracket Busters in 2013.)
Away: Wisconsin (I am assuming we will be playing at the Kohl Center again but someone correct me if I am wrong.)
We don't have much set in stone right now but I am hoping we play a much better schedule then we did this season. I also hope we renew the series with Northern Iowa.

I believe I heard the UMKC game this year was the first game of a home-and-home series, so I think they would be another non-conference home game.

Could be a 10th Horizon League school? Belmont

WOW if we added Belmont, I would be simply ecstatic! But given what I know about the Horizon League and its decision makers, I'm not holding my breath. Belmont would easily be the best program in the league right now, and would also be moving to a league that is, on average 10 RPI spots ahead of the OVC year to year! If that's not a win-win, I don't know what is. It really is a no-brainer. So naturally, they will not do it.

If you want in for soccer, you come to the HL for all sports. So, we will find out in summer if anything comes out from this, if it's true.

The Horizon is 1-3 decent-good programs additions away from being a top-10 league as opposed to #12, #14, #16 (which I think is what the Horizon League was ranked in the '04-'05 season, ironically.....), back to #13, #14, #14, #15..... Where are we ranked now as a conference? Ah.... here it is: www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology/conference"#14". The Horizon League could be higher than the MAC or MVC. But the other leagues are pretty hard to compete with (in any sport).

You have made it clear, so this is not new news to me. Why don't you like exempt tournaments? Or is it the kind've low class exempt tourneys?
