I couldn’t find a thread for this topic so here goes.
Jamaica Classic field has been completed: Georgetown, Wake Forest and Lasalle join LMU on November 18-20 in Montego Bay. I understand all games will be televised.

The WCC schedule is available. I found it on Instagram

And I understand the OOC schedule is close. Anxious to see that! Coaching staff thinks the season could bring a few surprises. We shall see.

Not bad, not amazing. To be fair I don’t know how good a lot of those teams are supposed to be this year.

No Power 5 teams other than the Jamaica tournament but a decent array of mid-majors. Grand Canyon and Utah State will give the team opportunities to play in larger arenas with active fan bases. Given there are so many unknowns with this team, the strength of schedule is probably about right.

Except for Life Pacific, I recognize all the names anyway. We do have a lot of unknowns in our new squad. Touted transfers in the past haven't fared well at LMU and we have several of them again - from Ohio State and Stanford. It doesn't help that we did not see them play yet on the Europe trip.

Whatever else we say about this season’s non-WCC schedule, you have to give Coach Johnson and the athletic department kudos for putting together a fantastic schedule of challenging games. As someone noted, Coach Johnson has made LMU a “national” team (again). Given the quality of our wins, I can see the Lions earning a post season bid. NIT is not out of the picture. Tonight’s game vs Utah State would be a world class upset but not out of one’s imagination. Too bad it’s on so late - I don’t live in Hawaii! Go Lions!

A win tonight, combined with wins against Tulsa and Cleveland St (so going into conference play with an 11-3 record) would set us up with a chance to get an NIT bit if we can get a top 4 or 5 spot in conference play, now if we could only get an opportunity to see what Douglas and Taitz could do on this team...
