Highlights on the most challenging Non Conference slate in the TK era:

• Challenging Road Slate in December with games at George Mason, Norther Iowa, Marshall, and Vermont sandwiched in between a home game against Canisius.

• No “Cupcake City” Non-Conference games as Dickie V likes to say, i.e. University of Northwest Ohio.

• One open date left for “hopefully” a Power 5 Game on the road.

• MAC Season opens with 2 home games (Ball St & WMU, and ends with 2 road games (CMU & Ball St).

• MAC playing an 18 Game schedule with Toledo not hosting NIU or Kent St, and not playing at WMU or Ohio.

That UAB game will be tough!! The blazers have two of the best guards in the country in eric Gaines and Jordan Walker

Fair, a decent P5 opponent would make it good. A P5 in Savage and one or more on the road would make it a great schedule. ?

challenging schedule, even without a P6. those December road trips will be tough and the Nov games are mostly good competition. UAB will be huge as the 2nd game. They are trying to put themselves in at large territory like UT and know this is a big game. They do get S Carolina at home, which is the marquee game in their non-conf, but S Caro is not a good P6 and UT on a neutral court would be a better win per the committee.

23-24 season home games: Marshall, N Iowa, George Mason, Vermont is a nice start to that schedule too

Nice home schedule!

4 home noncon games. 1 good team... man we have low expectations...take it I guess

So… you would rather see them play cupcakes at home?? Gotcha. FFS.

Love to see UT play at Indiana or ND. As far as home games I would like to see Bradley, Ill St., and Loyola of Chicago.

Took ND to the last second of regulation a couple years back. ND tied on a 3 with no time then won in OT.

We call a schedule with a game missing a full schedule?

Nice schedule. I would be okay with the last game being a quality G5 opponent really if it is part of a home and home

I think that was the famous ball stuck in rim game. We should have one that one.

I will never get used to TK's commentary in the schedule release...I'm paraphrasing...something like "This schedule is made to prepare this team for a deep run in the post season." Stop with this hype when you have not been able to get us any where near a "deep run" in your tenure. My major gripe with his operation...all hat and no big cattle!!!
