OU schedule has look of a long, strange trip--The Oakland Press
FROM STAFF REPORTS

Known to put together demanding schedules in the past, Oakland University men’s basketball coach Greg Kampe admitted the one he put together for next season “scares me a little bit.”
The Golden Grizzlies released their 2006-07 schedule on Wednesday, and it appears as if Kampe has outdone himself in terms of scheduling tough competition.
OU will play nine teams that played in a postseason tournament last year, seven of which were in the NCAA tournament.
The Golden Grizzlies will play games at Pittsburgh, at Cincinnati, at Arkansas, at UCLA, at Marquette and at Michigan State (Nov. 25). OU will also play at Eastern Michigan on Dec. 5.
“It’s a great schedule for our student-athletes,” Kampe said. “They are going to have an opportunity to play in some of the best venues in the country, experience some of the richest traditions and play against some of the top players in the nation.”
OU’s prominent homecourt games will be against Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Dec. 2 and Toledo on Dec. 30.
