Both the men’s and women’s basketball ‘09-’10 schedules are out now.

They can be found here and here, respectively.

Looks like the men are playing for another Tri-State NAIA title in December.  I’ve got nothing against an easy tune-up game to start and the Carey game makes sense, but the program is stuck in a Catch-22 in that we can’t host good out-of-conference games because attendance sucks, but one (but certainly not the only) reason it sucks is because of the pitiful, non-NCAA schedule.  Early home games have pretty much reached the “Why bother?” stage (some might argue that stage was passed long ago, but I digress).  At what point do you finally decide to just play on the road for the checks, then save up for a decent payout to someone worthwhile?
