It doesn't appear we know much for next year's schedule:
Home: None known?
Away: @ Southern Mississippi? @ Longwood?
Were Southern Mississippi & Longwood home and homes?
We will have 20 Conference games again unless the Horizon League expands to 12.
I would love us to get St. Thomas again and maybe a few of the Illinois schools. Not to beat a dead horse but I know Lundy said he had many discussions with Wisconsin & Marquette for last years schedule (More so Wisconsin).
Any other rumored or known games out there?

I'm thinking there will be some tough D1 opponents on it like this past season's was; off top though I'm thinking there will be 4 games at the K..

I'd really like to see us renew our rivalry with Ill-Chicago and with Loyola. The UIC games were fun and there was lots of interest in the fan bases of both schools. Loyola could be a draw as well given their recent run to the Final Four.
If we could do a home and home that would be awesome. Both schools are easy driving distance.

Don't forget about Valpo ... if they're still D-1! It was always fun beating them in every meaningful game we ever played!!!

MTE over Thanksgiving is in the works in Milwaukee. Love it, even if it means the K for three games.

The UIC games were more than fun, they were heated. I can't stand UIC, even dating back to Jimmy Collins and the cheerleader who gave our fans the finger after they upset us in the HL championship game in 2004. It would be nice to play and beat them again.

I just want to reiterate that I hate the Klotsche, but I had a blast at the MTE against UC Davis, Boston U. and SEMO!

I just want to reiterate that I hate the Klotsche, but I had a blast at the MTE against UC Davis, Boston U. and SEMO! 6 games in 3 days… it’s a lot of fun! There are so many mid majors within a 4 or 5 hour drive of Milwaukee: UIC, Loyola, Northern Illinois, Valpo, Illinois State, Bradley, Northern Iowa, and maybe Western Illinois come to mind. It’d be nice to get some home and homes with them. I’d like to make a road trip to catch a Milwaukee game in the noncoference season.

I'd love a road buy game or two against blue bloods. Lundy's a Tar Heel fan and I'd love to take a trip to Chapel Hill. Otherwise, Durham, Lexington, Louisville, Lawrence (again), etc would be a lot fun. The game at Kansas in 2019 was awesome. I know its easier said than done but prioritizing one of these programs would be awesome.

I can't stand UIC, even dating back to Jimmy Collins and the cheerleader who gave our fans the finger after they upset us in the HL championship game in 2004. It would be nice to play and beat them again. I remember a game down there. Pearl got tossed and we lost but some kids were still throwing rocks at our bus. I also remember a game up here. We were behind by six or seven very late in the game but started fouling this little UIC guard who couldn't hit a free throw. We screamed so loud when he was at the line, it sounded like a jet engine. We wound up winning. Then there was that game when won the right to host the HL Tourney. It was a tense game. When their cheerleaders tried to lead their fans, our students pointed and yelled "slut, slut, slut" over and over again. They hit a long three with 1 second to go to take the lead. We were despondent. They were so busy celebrating that they didn't notice the ref waved it off due to an offensive foul. When the ref put his hand behind his head and pointed at the UIC guard who made the shot (put pushed off a defender to get room), the K erupted. At least 300 students flooded the court to celebrate. I still remember the Channel 6 Broadcast. The Sports Anchor said something like 'You'll never guess which local team's court was stormed by celebrating fans tonight." Then they showed the footage. It was freaking awesome. We need to play those guys again.

Maybe call every D-1 program within, say, a 325-mile or five-hour drive of Milwaukee and see who may be interested?
