They have a top 100 player (AJ Green) as a frosh who will be a load this coming season. College Sports Madness has them as Valley preseason favorites : https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/17699

UC Davis had a bad year last year, but when that home and home was signed they were coming off a 22-11 season, NIT and Big West title.

I agree the schedule could be significantly stronger, but they're not purposely avoiding good opponents. Some of it is just scheduling regional opponents to contain travel costs, and unfortunately there isn't a lot of good basketball in the region. Would you rather see EIU? Milwaukee? UIC?

While in California, they are also going to play St Mary’s

St Mary's had a 35 NET ranking so UI before NIU must think you are making this up.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
