2009-2010 Schedule Rumors/Confirmations

[OUSKINS]

It's never too early......I started one of these last year as well.

Please post any rumors and/or confirmations about our OOC schedule for next year in this thread. As of right now I don't believe we are involved in any major preseason tournmanets (we are going to Maui in 2010 though). I do know we will most likely be on the road against a PAC-10 team in the Big 12/PAC 10 Challenge, but other than that, I know nothing. Any insider help would be appreciated.

[soonervegas]

As far as Pac-10 my money is on Arizona or Washington (maybe Arizona State). I'll say Washington though.

I would love for it to be UCLA, but I suspect they will match up Kansas and UCLA.

Also......

at Utah

[tommieharris91]

It probably won't be released until the start of next school year, but I'm pretty sure there will be a game @VCU.

[soonervegas]

Arky in Norman....

I'd be kinda surprised if we played at VCU or at least at their arena. I could see a game with them in D.C., or something.

[Sooner04]

I've heard Capel say we're supposed to play VCU in Richmond this year.

It was in his VCU contract that if he left he would have to come back and play VCU.

[OUbasketball4life]

I thought after OU played VCU at the Ford center it satisfied his contract? Its a home and away they have to play?

[Harry Beanbag]

That's weird.

[tommieharris91]

That's weird.

VCU started writing into their coaches contracts that coaches who left to larger schools would have to schedule a home-and-home with VCU. Alabama has to play a home-and-home with VCU now for hiring Anthony Grant. VCU does this to get BCS schools to go there and play them.

I still think it's weird.

I would like to see them schedule more ACC opponents. 'Twas fun a few years ago when UConn (although they're Big East I know) came to town back when they had Rudy Gay. 'Twould be even more fun with a home-and-home involving UNC (REVENGE!) or Duke (K vs K-Pro?) :D Seeing how Florida State is on track to not sucking in basketball now, they would also be a good one to schedule.

[soonervegas]

Just for the unofficial record I have also heard Gonzaga (in Seattle) for the 2007 All-College return game. I just cannot find an offical link, so until then it is just rumor.

[badger]

It being football season and all, I would like to see some rivalries developed beyond just one sport.

For example, when we play Tennessee in football soon, we can also schedule them in men's/women's basketball, baseball/softball, etc. in the same season. We can call it the NOT Fulmer Cup, heh.

[John Kochtoston]

It was in his VCU contract that if he left he would have to come back and play VCU.

Huh. That's a pretty creative buyout.

Ah, I do remember something about that. Thanks! :)

[badger]

Ok, it's confirmed - Arizona next season for us, Stanford for the Pokes.

[soonervegas]

Are we playing Tulsa in Tulsa again this year? Was that a one time thing or did we set up and home and home? Anyone in the know on that?

P.S. The Zags seem pretty confident we are playing in Seattle

A family friend is on the Great Alaska Shootout Tournament Committee and he mentioned something about OU being in the field this year or next. Can't remember which.

[stoopified]

Didn't Smellyberger have a similar clause in his Louisville contract so we had to play at Papa John Stadium?

[Salt City Sooner]

Didn't Smellyberger have a similar clause in his Louisville contract so we had to play at Papa John Stadium?
That was a home/home in '97 (Parker & Gumbo both went off) & '99 (Heupel's record setting day). Kinda ironic that Chris Redman initially commits to OU, transfers to Louisville, & gets beat by his old school twice.

[ndpruitt03]

Here's the ones that are confirmed

Louisiana Monroe Nov 17
Arkansas, @Gonzaga, @VCU, @ Utah
Arizona in Norman around Dec 1st Pac 10/Big 12 thing.

We may play in the Great Alaskan tournament, and we may play another SEC team.

[soonervegas]

I wonder who we will play All-College?

[OUSKINS]

It's unofficially OSU's turn to get the "marquee" game, so we'll have to see. In general, the teams rotate each year between one playing a big name and the other playing a lesser opponent. The team playing the bigger game usually gets the second game of the night.

Last year was kind of an exception with Rhode Island and VCU as the opponents-- OU played Gonzaga the year before and I guess they were given the "marquee" game again last year because they played second.

I'd be mildly surprised if OU got it three years in a row.

[ndpruitt03]

He's not even there anymore, he went to UVA. I think that's Wazzu basketball in a nutshell.

There are still two TBA teams.

[Frozen Sooner]

Late adds generally aren't elite teams at the GAS. I'll ask Pete who they're looking at the next time I talk to him, but he probably won't be able to say anything.

[soonervegas]

So here is a summation so far:

Louisiana-Monroe (11/17)
Great Alaska Shootout - 3 games (11/25-11/28)
at Utah
at VCU
Arkansas
Gonzaga (Seattle) ?
Arizona
UTEP (All-College)

So that's 10 games. Looks like we are missing 3-4 more.....most of them probably being home. NDPruitt. Any other info???/

I've not heard anything recently, but I've been away for a week.

[ndpruitt03]

The only schedule update I can find for this year is that Buffalo has been added to the GAS tournament. Other than that we've scheduled future tournaments for the non conference up to 2012.

Nor do I want too know. Why don't you keep the play ground posse crap on the Oval where it belongs and post basketball stuff here?

[OUSKINS]

WEB FIGHT!

[OUSKINS]

Does anyone know if the Arizona game is officially scheduled for a Sunday afternoon? If so, that blows because it totally conflicts with my Redskins-NFL schedule and as much as I love the Sooners, NFL games are too individually important to miss.

[Collier11]

It should be a good competitive schedule, its amazing how much the excitement level over OU bball has gone up since Capel arrived

[Sooner24]

Haven't talked to him in a few weeks. I may not get the chance before I leave for Alabama.

Looks like it's a six team field.

Great Alaska Shootout Field Unveiled
Sooners will play three games in Anchorage during Thanksgiving Week.

Aug. 14, 2009



NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma men's basketball team will compete in the six-team Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout Nov. 25-28. The Sooners will play three games at Anchorage's Sullivan Arena.

Slotted in Pool B, OU will play San Diego (16-16 last year) on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and Houston (21-12) the following day. The Sooners will face Alaska Anchorage (15-14), Nicholls State (20-11) or Washington State (17-16), all members of Pool A, on Saturday, Nov. 28.

Oklahoma has competed in the Great Alaska Shootout on two previous occasions (1983-84 and 2004-05 seasons) and finished in third place both times (eight-team fields).

The remainder of OU's non-conference schedule is expected to be announced soon.

---------------

2009 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout Schedule - Nov. 25-28

Wednesday, Nov. 25
Washington State vs Alaska Anchorage (Pool A)
Oklahoma vs San Diego (Pool B)

Thursday, Nov. 26
Nicholls State vs Alaska Anchorage (Pool A)
Houston vs Oklahoma (Pool B)

Friday, Nov. 27
Nicholls State vs Washington State (Pool A)
Houston vs San Diego (Pool B)

Saturday, Nov. 28
Pool A #3 vs Pool B #3 (fifth place)
Pool A #2 vs Pool B #2 (third place)
Pool A #1 vs Pool B #1 (championship)

[Collier11]

San Diego is typically a decent team, should be a good early test for a young team

[Frozen Sooner]

Wild. They've always run it as an 8-team single-out/loser's bracket tournament before. (ie if you had a loss you weren't eligible for the championship game, but you'd still get two loser's brackets games to determine placement.)

[OUSKINS]

ESPN still covering the GAS?

[ndpruitt03]

ESPN still covering the GAS?Nope our coverage may come from Bob and Mike

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, ESPN declined to renew the contract to show the Shootout a couple of years ago. Their coverage had gotten increasingly weak to the point where they were only showing the championship game over the years. Not ESPN's fault-it was getting harder and harder to get a quality field. The last REALLY good field I can think of was in 2003 (I think) with us, Alabama, Utah, and a Nate Robinson-led Washington team.
