How about a front-loaded schedule?

Texas State recently released its 2008-09 men's basketball schedule.

At first look, the Bobcats will have a chance to travel a bit, with games in Hawaii and Wyoming. A closer look reveals Texas State head coach Doug Davalos did a great job of front-loading the schedule in his team's favor.

There is only one true money game on the list (Texas), but you could count two more (Wyoming and Rice). The Bobcats have a good chance to go into conference play with a winning record.

Home games (non-conference): Huston-Tillotson, Southwest Assemblies of God, New Orleans, Prairie View A&M, McMurry, Schreiner and Northern Colorado.

Away games (non-conference): Cal State Fullerton, San Francisco, Wyoming, Northern Colorado, Rice and Texas.

Bolded are Division II and lower teams. Both McMurry and Schreiner play in Division III.

Thoughts on the schedule?

I am not sure this is the early home schedule needed to build interest in the program. No offense to anyone but, Schreiner, McMurry and SW Assemblies of God??

Good point. Texas State always schedules SW Assemblies of God, but the true question is what about the two D-3 teams.
