Another team from last year Illinois St. we dropped that one two. I also remember this same squad still had problems on the road, and improved at Bartow around conference play. Looking for signs of improvement.

Also is it guaranteed we get Iowa state? If so then three more schools we play none conference from last year.

Only get ISU if we beat Illinois, otherwise we play Virginia Tech. And yes, we've lost to plenty of bad teams. Doesn't mean they would count as a good win on a resume. I do agree though on the bolded part. Really hope we have some consistency this year. Need Lee and Brown to step it up if we're going to be a really good team.

Technically we could get Iowa State if we lose to Illinois and they lose to VaTech. Which considering the upsets this year is possible.

The La Tech win over Ohio State will be a nice RPI boost for the league.

Not is they keep losing.

Coming into this season, OhioState had won 61 straight home games against non conference teams. They have now lost two straight.

The entire league is predicted to only get 1 top 50 win on rpiforecast. Hard to look at.

@ Illinois State.

Toughest stretch of our non conference schedule. Those four + Auburn and SF Austin are the big ones.

If we split the next four, I think we are in good shape. Anything more will be fantastic.

Well we split the four games. Not the split I expected, I thought we would win win in Florida and lose tonight. But 2-2 is good.

We did get the split, but it's gonna take a miracle for us to get a Top 100 win at this point.

It's disappointing because tonight showed what we are capable up if we play our best. If we win out the rest of our OOC schedule I won't be too disappointed but I sincerely believe we are a better team than Auburn and VA Tech.
