Member Posts: 142 06/30/09 5:09 AM	Tags : None Here's UCI's official 2009-10 schedule. This is definitely the softest in the Douglass ERA. LaVerne and Vanguard aren't even D1 schools. Anything less than 20 wins will be a failure. 2009-2010 schedule Nov. 9 - Concordia (exhibition) Nov. 13 - La Verne Nov. 15 - at Texas Nov. 18 - at Loyola Marymount Nov. 23-25 - Eastern Kentucky tournament (Texas San Antonio and Fairleigh Dickinson) Dec. 1 - Hawaii Dec. 12 - Vanguard Dec. 15 - at Seattle Dec. 18 - San Jose State Dec. 21 - Pepperdine Dec. 28 - at San Jose State Jan. 2 - UC Santa Barbara* Jan. 5 - Cal Poly SLO* Jan. 7 - at Cal State Northridge* Jan. 9 - at Long Beach State* Jan. 14 - at UC Davis* Jan. 16 - at Pacific* Jan. 21 - Long Beach State* Jan. 23 - UC Riverside* Jan, 28 - Pacific* Jan. 20 - at Cal State Fullerton* Feb. 3 - at Cal State Bakersfield Feb. 6 - CS Bakersfield Feb. 10 - Cal State Fullerton* Feb. 13 - UC Davis* Feb. 17 - at UC Riverside* Feb. 20 - ESPNU BracketBuster Feb. 27 - Cal State Northridge* March 3 - at UC Santa Barbara* March 6 - at Cal Poly SLO* March 10-13 - Big West Tournament (at Anaheim Convention Center) Last Edited By: dinoeater 06/30/09 10:20 AM.

Member Posts: 1013 06/30/09 9:36 AM	How do we play two Non D1's - La Verne and Vanguard? Plus, we have lazy scheduling in that we play CS Bakersfield twice (in a few days) and we play San Jose State twice. Maybe, with Todd Murphy leaving, they were trying to finalize the schedule quickly. I would rather have played a big bucks guarantee game on the road than play either of the Non D1's. If memory serves me, the Texas game is part of a two location tournament with the subsequent games are played at E. Kentucky. Next year, we get to host the so called "mid major" part of the tournament I do like the fact that we are playing both LMU and Pepperdine again. It makes for an easy road trip. We should also try to schedule University of San Diego or even San Diego State if they want to do a Home and Home. DinoEater- Is this schedule finalized? I haven't counted the games, etc.. Thanks for posting the information.

Member Posts: 27 06/30/09 10:17 AM	Scheduling CS-Bakersfield twice, SJSU twice, and not one but two non-DI games is simply not acceptable.

There's a good chance Concordia could win the exhibition with the return of Justin Johnson.

Member Posts: 3056 07/01/09 9:07 AM	PD copied the Burton ACC scheduling formula. All CupCakes. The scheduling of Bake twice within 3-4 days has to do with the 9 team BW more than anything. Around the first of the year, some teams will play 3 games in 8-10 days and other teams can will have one game in 8-10 days. Last Edited By: TitanCzar 07/01/09 9:10 AM. Edited 1 time.

I still think scheduling tougher teams, making more money and having a worse record gets us ready for BWC games and the conference tourney. And, that's the only way to get to the NCAA Tourney.

Member Posts: 16 07/02/09 1:11 PM	Even with the soft weak and boring schedule im still not sure we can get 20 wins this year. This schedule creates less hype from the student (then there already is) for our bball team. What are the students going to look foward to this year for the home games? "Hey UCI is playing La Verne Tonight at the Bren! Lets go out and watch that!" . NO The students have proved that they come out to the big games. Last years amazing game against Oregon, the bren was nearly sold out. Few years back Stanford came into town and the bren was sold out! While UCSB had North Carolina as their first home game! I also agree that the soft teams we play doesn't prepare us for the BW tournament. When we played to USC's and the Utah State's, yes we got beat but we come out even stronger when we play the big west schools. You play the best to be the best.

Member Posts: 163 07/02/09 10:25 PM	I'm disappointed in Izzi. I can understand not firing Douglass in his first year on the job. But now its becoming apparent that the man has no balls when it comes to the basketball program. There is not one home game on the schedule that I'll be going to. I'm not going to check out Laverne, Vanguard, Bakersfield. You'd have to pay me $20, with a free beer, hot dog, and licorice, and a seat directly behind the players bench to make me attend those games. This schedule makes me wonder why I put so much interest in our hoops program. If our AD doesn't care about the program, why should I?

Member Posts: 384 07/02/09 10:51 PM	To be honest, I don't know who creates the schedule. However, on Barry Faulkner's blog, he implies that it was Douglass who was largely responsible for the schedule, so take that for what it is worth. If so, I have no problem with Izzi laying back and letting Douglass make the decisions this season, with the understanding that Douglass is coaching for his job. Personally, I am on the fence in regards to Douglass after this upcoming season, and I think that we would all be wise to see what he can do in the final year of his contract before making decisions one way or the other. If things work out poorly, it will have made the decision easy. If Douglass works some magic, I am sure we will be glad to have him back. I would also keep in mind that with the economy being what it is, it will be hard for a publicly funded institution such as UC-Irvine to throw dollars around and make a splash by hiring a big name coach. My one dissapointment is that there really aren't any interesting home nonconference games on the docket. I am sure that I will go to at least a couple of the games either way, but it is nice to have a game or two to get excited for (like Oregon and Utah last year.) Oh well. D
