So much for the days of ambitious non-conference scheduling being over.

Is this year’s non conf schedule as good as last years??

Good question. Will have to look at that side by side comparison sometime. Right now just started watching this weekend's IN Fever game.

Pretty damn close if the preseason prognosticators are correct:

11/15 Alabama
11/19 @ Marquette
12/14 Texas A&M (Neutral)
12/21 @ Auburn
Two of BYU, NC State and Ole Miss in San Diego

 

[Professor Emeritus]

The lads will be battle-tested and in prime condition for the B1G and beyond.

Wow! That is almost as tough as IU's noncon. TIC

Exactly! Love that painter ain’t scared and doesn’t try to play games with the system to try and get in to the tourney.

This is how Izzo has always scheduled non conference games and when he had the horses it benefitted his team greatly later in the year. Glad to see Painter is now doing the same thing!

No. Great point. But good news is we try….

I dunno…it def could be after it’s all said and done

A comparison:

This year: Alabama (home), @ Marquette, Texas A&M, @ Auburn, and two of BYU, NC State and Ole Miss in San Diego

vs.

Last year: Xavier, Gonzaga, Tennessee, Marquette, Alabama, Arizona

With our MTE being weaker this year, I wish we could schedule one more hard game, but this is definitely a top tier schedule already

We also have Creighton mid October for a scrimmage, correct? I know that doesn’t count toward anything but still cool to see.
