I read an article where Eaves said he was going to schedule more winnable games this year.
If I were playing Spades I would bid 2 and a possible. And I have a strong chance of getting set.

In his defense he believed that the guarantee amount he had to get for athletics was going to be reduced. That didn't happen.
We are also adding Nebraska back to the schedule.
With an 18-game conference schedule, we've already reached our limit of 27.
Bottom line is, who do we play to get the guarantee money? We have to get it. period. We aren't in a situation like Hampton, where we don't have to play that many guarantee games.
Look at the college RPI index and you will see that we came in 312. Theoretically there are only 18 teams we can beat anyway, and two of those teams were in our conference (Howard and UMES, both which we beat last year).
Non-Conference schedule '04-05 Nov 12 @ New Mexico L 59-75 (NABC Classic) Nov 13 vs Duquesne L 69-82 (NABC Classic) Nov 14 vs Santa Clara L 52-90 (NABC Classic) Nov 19 @ Texas A&M L 56-89 Nov 30 High Point W 77-68 Dec 2 @ Radford L 61-66 Dec 11 Campbell L 67-68 Dec 14 @ Louisville L 51-85 Dec 18 @ Nebraska L 49-71 Dec 21 @ Tulane L 54-73 Dec 30 @ Wake Forest L 76-98

Hawaii Tournament (Dec. 23-26) at Cincinnatti at Miami I checked the Univ of Hawaii site. Our game with them is not part of the Rainbow Classic (12/20-23). Our game is a single game on December 27th. See the paragraph below from their site. uhathletics.hawaii.edu/pr.html?prid=13598&p=8UH will host Saint Louis, Nov. 26, and will also travel to Wisconsin-Milwaukee - an NCAA Sweet 16 team last season - on Dec. 10, in exchange for the Panthers' trip to Honolulu for the ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday game a year ago. The 'Bows conclude their non-conference slate with home games against North Carolina A&T, Dec. 27, and Penn, Dec. 29. I was hoping it was the tournament so I could plan a vacation around it. ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png)

I didn't realize the Ewing Kid was a national JUCO All-American. www.oxfordathletics.emory.edu/Basketball/releases/05_04_18.htmMen's Basketball April 18 , 2005 An Oxford Eagle Lands at Division I ATLANTA, GA - NJCAA All-American Austin Ewing signed an athletic scholarship with Aggies of North Carolina A&T, a Division I university in the MEAC conference. "I'd like to thank all my coaches, past and present, my boys for always being there, of course my parents, Oxford College for giving me the opportunity to play, and definitely my Oxford teammates, because without them, I would not have gotten to this day", said Austin Ewing at the signing. The signing event, a first in Oxford Sports history, was celebrated at Atlanta's ESPN Zone, located on Peachtree Street in the Buckhead area. The signing was attended by Austin Ewing's immediate and extended family, friends, Oxford coaches and teammates, as well as local A&T alumni. Austin Ewing, captain of the 2004-2005 Eagle squad, led them to a 22-10 record and their first Inter-Region title and NJCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance. For the season, Ewing had per game averages 19.4 points, 4 assists, 2.75 steals while shooting 42% from the field, and led the Eagles in eight statistical categories. Austin Ewing is the first and thus far only student athlete to receive a Division I scholarship following his athletic career at Oxford College. For his career, Austin Ewing totaled 1,217 points, 280 assists and 168 steals in 2,064 minutes of play, setting more than 20 new Single Game, Season, and Career school records. www.oxfordathletics.emory.edu/Basketball/releases/05_04_13.htmApril 13 , 2005 An Oxford Eagle Lands at Division I OXFORD, GA - The National Junior College Athletic Association has selected Oxford College sophomore Austin Ewing to its Division III All-American Second Team. Ewing, a 2003 graduate of Atlanta's Woodward Academy, goes into the record books as Oxford's all-time leader in points scored (1,217), assists (280), steals (168) and minutes played (2,064). "To be a 2-time All-American … not many guys accomplish that at a 2-year school," Oxford Head Coach Lance Von Vogt said. "It's a realization of all the hard work he put in." Austin Ewing was also chosen by the NJCAA as an Honorable Mention All-American for his freshman campaign. A captain of the 2004-2005 squad, Austin led the Eagles to a 22-10 record and their first Inter-Region title, a final season ranking of 10th in the national polls, and a NJCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance. Ewing scored 16 points, assisted on 10 other scores, and grabbed seven rebounds in his final game - a 97-88 loss to Montgomery College Tacoma Park for the NJCAA District VII Championship. For the season, Ewing had per game averages 19.4 points, 4 assists, and 2.75 steals while shooting 42% from the field. He also led the Eagles in eight statistical categories.

Ball1,
Do you think we can schedule an exhibition game with NCCU or WSSU. That game could provide some funds

Grimes never could get into the school.
At the 4 spot will likely be Jason Wills or Demetrius Guions if he chooses to go small.
As far as scheduling a game with WSSU or NCCU, you have a couple of problems.
1. We would have to pay a guarantee of at least 15-20k (that's what the big schools are paying).
2. Even if we charge a reasonable fee, you would not be able to bring enough people to make a profit (see reason number one).
3. The game has to be scheduled before our first DI game, so you're talking about playing a game right before the Thanksgiving holiday, which could run up against football season.

I hear Jason Wills is suppose to be pretty good. He seemed to do a good job last year.
Has the BB team started practicing?
Any new news?
