Home games vs Simpson College, CSU Bakersvield, St. Ambrose, East-West University
Away games at Valpo, Minnesota, Canisius, Coastal Carolina, Houston Christian, Indiana, Iowa, and South Dakota

Looks like they're mostly sticking with the double-header M/W schedule this year (didn't know if that would change with the departure of Tennessee Tech and Little Rock).
Combined M+W conference schedule looks like this: 
12/11 - Men vs TSU
1/02 - Both vs SIUE
1/07 - Both at TSU
1/09 - Both at SEMO
1/14 - Both vs EIU

Safe to assume that the games against St. Ambrose, Simpson, East-West, and Culver Stockton are exhibition games and do not count towards the overall record? If not, disappointing to play 4 non d1 schools

A couple might be, but probably not all. We had three non-D1's at home last year. We have one non-conference home D1 game this year, against CSU Bakersfield, which is the return game of a H&H from last year. We probably don't have it in our budget to be paying other D1's to come to Western Hall if it's not part of a H&H, but hopefully we can work to set up more of those in the future.

I'm hoping that maybe one or two of our road mid/low-major D1 games this year are the start of a H&H (Canisius, Coastal Carolina, Houston Christian, South Dakota). I'd really like to see us get H&H's scheduled with some of our old conference-mates in the Summit and Horizon...Omaha, KC, Fort Wayne, IU Indy (used to be IUPUI). It looks like the women's side is doing a bit of a better job with that, hosting (again, probably as part of H&H series) Fort Wayne, Loyola, along with games at Bradley, Valpo, Chicago State, and Omaha. Of those, I'd imagine at least one or two are H&H series.
