How the schedule sets up for the Broncos.

The schedule for the upcoming Western Michigan basketball season has been released, and there are some definite challenges early on for the Broncos.

The season opens on the road against Michigan State a team that made it to the Final Four last year. That will be followed by a Home game against Notre Dame another team that was in the NCAA tournament

After that, the Broncos have a four-game stretch that includes games against Bowling Green Eastern Michigan Toledo and Central Michigan All four of those teams made it to the NCAA Tournament last year.

The Broncos will then have a five-game stretch that includes games against Northern Illinois Ball State Akron, Kent State and Miami (Ohio). All five of those teams are coming off seasons where they won at least 20 games.

The final six games of the season are against teams that were .500 or below last year. However, three of those six games are on the road.

The schedule is definitely challenging for the Broncos, but if they can navigated it successfully, they could be in for a successful season

Non-conference challenges for WMU.

The schedule for the upcoming Western Michigan basketball season was released today and it includes some tough non-conference tests.

The Broncos will open the season at home against IUPUI on November 6th. Other home games include match-ups with Eastern Michigan (November 27th), Oakland (December 12th), and Detroit Mercy (December 15th).

On the road, WMU will take on Big Ten opponents Illinois (November 10th) and Northwestern (November 17th). The Broncos will also travel to play conference foes in Toledo (December 3rd) and Bowling Green (January 7th).

The season will conclude with the MAC Tournament, which is set to begin on March 9th.

The MAC schedule and what to expect.

The Western Michigan men’s basketball team’s schedule was released recently and there are some key things to know. The first is that the MAC schedule is always a grind and this year will be no different. The second is that the Broncos have a few key home games that they will need to win if they want to make the NCAA tournament

The schedule starts off with a road game at Northern Illinois on November 10th. The Huskies are always tough at home, but the Broncos should be able to get a win to start the season. The next five games are all against MAC opponents and they will all be tough games. The key game in this stretch is the December 4th game at home against Toledo. The Rockets are always one of the best teams in the MAC and if the Broncos can get a win in that game it will go a long way towards their NCAA tournament hopes.

After that, the Broncos have a stretch of three straight home games against non-conference opponents. They should be able to win all three of those games, but they will need to be careful not to overlook any of them. The final game of the non-conference schedule is on December 29th at Notre Dame This will be a tough game, but it is one that the Broncos could potentially win if they play their best basketball.

The conference schedule starts off with two road games at Ball State and Central Michigan These are two teams that the Broncos should be able to beat, but they can’t afford to take either one lightly. The next four games are against teams that are all fighting for position in the Conference Standings and they will all be tough games. The final two games of the regular season are at home against Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois These are both winnable games, but the Broncos will need to be focused if they want to end the season on a high note.

Key returners for the Broncos this season.

The Western Michigan Basketball Schedule was released on Monday morning, with the Broncos set to open the 2019-20 season at home against Robert Morris on Nov. 5.

Head coach Steve Hawkins will have a number of key returners at his disposal this season, including senior guard Josh Davis, who averaged a team-leading 16.8 points per game last season. Davis will be joined in the backcourt by fellow seniors Bryce Moore (11.5 ppg) and Brandon Johnson (9.5 ppg), who both averaged double figures in scoring last season.

In the frontcourt, junior center Brad Deckelman (6’11”) will look to build on a strong 2018-19 campaign in which he averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game He will be joined by seniors Seth Dugan (6’10”) and Tito Brown (6’8″), who combined to average 15.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per contest last season.

Newcomers who could make an impact.

The Western Michigan men’s basketball team announced its non-conference schedule for the 2019-20 season. The slate features matchups against in-state foe Detroit, as well as Big Ten foe Purdue.

The Broncos will open the season with four straight Home Games beginning with a Nov. 5 contest against Robert Morris Other home games in the month of November include contests against Detroit (Nov. 12), Purdue (Nov. 16) and Oakland (Nov. 27).

Western Michigan will close out the month of November with a road trip to take on Buffalo (Nov. 29) and then head to Detroit for a game against the Titans on Dec. 3.

Position battles to watch heading into the season.

The Western Michigan men’s Basketball team released their schedule for the upcoming season and there are a few position battles to watch heading into the year.

The first is at point guard where junior transfer Mikey Douglas will compete with sophomores Brad Brechting and Greg Lee for the starting job. Douglas is a more traditional point guard while Brechting and Lee are both better suited to playing off the ball.

Another position battle to watch will be at small forward where junior college transfer Josh , redshirt freshman Javontae Hawkins, and true freshman Reggie dunn will all be vying for playing time Johnson is the most experienced of the group, but Hawkins and Dunn both have the potential to be difference makers on the wing.

Finally, there will be a battle for the backup center spot between redshirt sophomore Luke Schroeder and true freshman Nolley Hunter. Schroeder has the advantage of being more experienced, but Hunter is a very talented young big man who could see significant minutes if he can find a way to crack the rotation.

With so many position battles still up in the air, it should be an interesting season for Western Michigan Basketball

The non-conference portion of the schedule is highlighted by a road game at Michigan State on December 12th.

A final prediction for the Broncos’ record this season.

The full schedule for the Western Michigan men’s basketball team was released on Monday, and it looks like the Broncos will have their work cut out for them if they want to make it back to the NCAA tournament

The non-conference slate is not easy, with games against Power Five opponents Indiana, Pittsburgh, and Marquette, as well as a tough matchup against in-state rival Detroit.

The Mid-American Conference schedule is also no cakewalk, with games against Toledo, Bowling Green and Kent State

Taking all of this into account, I predict that the Broncos will finish the season with a record of 20-11 overall and 12-6 in conference play
