The Women have a home game with Lindenwood on Feb 25.

Wouldn't the Men also be playing Lindenwood that night ???

Yeesh.

They are a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U ... stitutions
Mostly really small colleges and community colleges. East-West University competes independently and sponsors M&W basketball, women's volleyball, and dance & cheer team.
Looks like last year they played at Southern Indiana (lost 107-49) and at Chicago State (lost 131-55).

I guess that's just where we're at financially right now. Non-conference home games are either half of a H&H arrangement (like with Green Bay or Central Arkansas), lower division (like Monmouth or St. Ambrose), or really lower division (like East-West).

For reference, here's the full schedule: https://goleathernecks.com/sports/mens- ... l/schedule

Looking at when our winter break is, we'll have a home game against Tennessee Tech on 12/17, away games at Lindenwood, SIUE, and EIU, then a pair of home games on 1/9 and 1/11 against UT Martin and Tennessee State. Otherwise, the students should be around for the rest of the games.

I remember back in the 70s a team of pretty decent college-caliber players called Athletes In Action (AIA) would travel the country and be good for a game on your schedule.  Yes, WIU took on AIA in 1972-73 season and won 86-76.  AIA is still around these days but it looks like their schedule is against much lower completition (prep schools, low college JV squads, etc.)

Scheduling is lackluster given that this is supposed to be our best team in years. Disappointed they couldn’t get a power 5 buy game

I still don know why the OVC is scheduling the home game with Eastern Illinois on a Thursday. I would think the OVC would scheduled that game on a Saturday.
