They will also be playing in the PK80 Invite out in Oregon. Games have not been announced, but a real strong field here Arkansas, Butler, UConn, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Portland, Portland State, Stanford and Texas. Typically from here they schedule games against mid to upper level teams. Last year it was UConn and Providence. While I do not think either was better than UD, they still have better name value for the big school fans. Then they must navigate a top 3 conference in basketball for their conference slate. So 5-8 buy games seems about right and on par with most of their peers.

I must also admit I feel dirty defending OSU. I dislike this school more than X and Notre Dame, but I am also realistic about how these things work. They play a few big games in the OOC and then depend on their Big10 schedule. That is all they need to do to get into the tournament because of the current system that is in place. If the A10 was as strong as the Big10 we would be playing a very similar schedule, but it's not. So we are forced to try and find some better games in the OOC.
I know all that, but you are missing my original point, but unknowingly made my point. All I was saying is that when OSU Flyer said that OSU "does not have room for UD" on their schedule that is incorrect. They have room on their schedule, they just don't want to play us (which is fine). When you mentioned UConn and Providence and said 5-8 buy games is about right you made my point. They could play six or seven buy games and they would have room for us, or they could play us as one of their "mid to upper level" games as you call them. But they don't want to play us and that is fine.
