Coach Kerns scheduled tough this year in non-conference. 6 teams on the schedule with higher Ken Pom rankings than the SBC’s current top ranked team (JMU). A 7th also ranked right there with JMU (163rd) and Marshall (166th) in ECU (170th). We get North Texas (112th) and ECU (170th) in Boone. On the road at Kentucky (22nd), Auburn (24th) and Charlotte (111th). Neutral site games against Akron (99th) and Yale (132nd).
