With our recent talk about needing to balance a quality SOS with home game revenue, I wonder if hosting a multi-team event in Lubbock would be a possibility. Target some top 100 KenPom teams that are also looking to build up their SOS and host 3-8 teams in a way that guarantees increased revenue, home games, and a better quality opponents for Tech.
Schools like Dayton (32 KenPom), Utah St. (53), San Francisco (61), New Mexico (67), George Mason (82), Rhode Island (89), Northern Iowa (96), or Colorado St (97). Obviously bring in the best you can, but we aren't going to compete with Hawaii or the Bahamas. But, I think it could get some quality teams to Lubbock, strengthen our schedule, and help revenue. Tubby Smith was a master of filling his schedule with teams that were winnable but pulled up the average of his SOS.
Thoughts?
