Start with Louisville, the Champions Classic, CBS Classic...then what?

I think we should bring back the Big Four, only replace Notre Dame with Purdue.

One destination tournament. That's three games.

So now we have like 4-5 games left. Pick from teams like Western, Eastern, Morehead, etc, as well as border schools like Evansville, Cincinnati, WVU/Marshall, etc.

Why do we need to play teams like Lipscomb?
 
I want IU back on the schedule as well as some in season tournaments. I don't why Cal shied away from those.
For a cool bit of nostalgia, Super 70s Sports has a 1979 Great Alaskan Shootout TShirt for sale. Think I'm going to order it.

I understand IU but not the tournaments.
 
I want to back to Maui, keep the Champions Classic, remove the stupid CBS Sports Classic and bring back the home and home with UNC, maybe a home and home with Kansas on years we don't play in the Champions Classic, and obviously the Louisville game. If you gave me that I could take or leave Indiana.
 
Kentucky and Dook should play yearly 2 of the biggest names in Basketball should get it on every season. IU in Louisville every year and throw in a Thanksgiving Tourney or how about host one in Rupp with good teams. Zona Oregon UCONN Nova Purdue Illinois WVA Texas Tech USC UCLA etc Call it the Bluegrass Shootout, Battle of the Bluegrass, Bourbon Trail Invitational whatever. Champions classic needs to replace Michigan St with UCONN.
 
The only reason I wouldn't want IU back on the schedule is that I don't want to give them any validation. Let them wallow in the obscurity they've been in since we stopped playing them.

I'd just like to play an early season tournament or two again.
 
No losses, especially to Mediocre teams like Evansville and NC Wilmington. Those are just Brutal.

Go Cats!!
 
I love big games in Nov/Dec, but 4 problems with dream schedules:

...$$ lost if not playing "Lipscomb" in Rupp
...Team needs bunny games to mature and unite
...SEC has become basketball conference
....Early losses count at Seeding in March
 
1. An annual neutral site game with Duke, maybe in Nashville. Abandon the Champion's Classic.
2. Maui Invitation for sure.
3. A neutral site game with Indiana or UNC.
