The Hope schedule is now up:  https://athletics.hope.edu/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

First 7 games are Manchester, Wilmington, Concordia (MI), Hanover, UW Whitewater, UW Platteville, Wittenberg ALL at DeVos!

Then at North Central & North Park on Dec 20/21

Lastly a trip to NY between Christmas & New Years to play Yeshiva (12/28) and Lehman (12/29)

Hopefully this is actually Concordia (WI) and is a Fri-Sat opponent swap with Calvin. Calvin's schedule shows Concordia (WI) on Friday and Wilmington on Saturday.

I also just noticed that Trine and Calvin both list UW-Platteville on Dec. 29 and Berry on Dec. 30. One of those will be flipped.

I suspect you are right - Hope has those two games listed as the "Thanksgiving Classic".  Certainly would prefer it is the cheesehead version of Concordia since Concordia MI is NAIA!

The schedule I see is the Wisconsin variety.

Yep, it has already been corrected. It previously showed Concordia (MI) as FDF posted.

Right. I was pointing out it must have been corrected.

Hope's schedule is really a bunch of return games from last year only in Holland this time and 3 newbies.    First trip to New York in quite awhile if I'm remembering right.

Manchester  13th meeting, last year
Wilmington   1st meeting
Concordia(WI)  2003
Whitewater 6th meeting, last year
Platteville 9th meeting, last year
Hanover 5th meeting , last year
Wittenberg 9th meeting, last year
North Central 12th meeting, last year
North Park 8th meeting, last year
Yeshiva  1st meeting
Lehman 1st meeting


Hope's five game stretch in late January of @Calvin, Trine, Albion, Calvin, @Trine is just very poor league scheduling.  That should never happen.

North Park 8th meeting, last year

This will actually be the tenth meeting between the Vikings and the Dutchmen, and it will take place in Chicago rather than Holland.

Thanks Greg. You made me realize we had 1990 and 1993 scores associated with North Central instead of North Park. I have updated our all-time series database. https://athletics.hope.edu/sports/mens-basketball/opponent-history/north-park-university/297

... a greater willingness at the D2/D3 level to jump teams for more playing time and/or to chase wins?

Mayhaps a better education as well?

Perhaps, although I'm not sure the three MIAA examples fit that bill other than maybe SVSU to Calvin. Kalamazoo to Hope or transferring as a senior don't seem to be educationally motivated.

Maybe I just fixed it for you.
