Mark it down. Just hope it's not the good guys. They are tough...

Hope these Tigers can be the thorn in the side of many SEC opponents

BOOT TF UP

The mid majors on this schedule are awesome.

Liberty, Belmont, Ohio and Lipscomb

We’re playing a bunch of NCAA first/second round teams in the non-conference.

If they make it. They are in a 1 bid league. They have to win their league & conf tourney, but they were picked to win the conf

Our NET ranking will be solid if we can go at least 10-2 out of conference.

We also have the best in season conference win % over the last 3 seasons but a brutal SEC schedule this year.

Still feel like ceiling would’ve been much higher with Miller but from what little we’ve seen so far I’m predicting somewhere between a 5 & 7 seed. 21-9 (11-7) -ish

They technically shouldn’t lose any OOC this year. This was the second toughest game. Belmont prob 1st.

There’s no marquee OOC game vs ranked opponents like in years past

Running the table is tough though. I’m giving them a little leeway but I agree we’ll be favored in every OOC game.

Based on what? The fact that we beat two good teams by 20 and 14 points. I don't think we've seen enough to make any prediction. Could be much higher.

It is tough but I guess I should say I think LSU will be favored In every game. If they win it’s a different story

Penn State (think they are on schedule) lost by 15 to UMASS tonight.

Good lawd, this board is completely delusional. The OOC schedule is pathetic and embarrassing.

You know less than John Snow.

Wade loaded up with a bunch of veteran teams expected to contend for or win mid-major conference championships. It's the best way to force your team to come together quickly and learn to play clean basketball without taking a bunch of losses.

He has a colossal early season SEC schedule to get his team ready for. Playing a bunch of bottom-feeder teams from high-major conferences who have whole rosters full of new guys and have no idea what they're doing doesn't give you a proper test for conference play at all.

Not to mention his power ranking will be through the roof based on this nonconference schedule.

But sure - you'd rather play Marquette and Georgetown and USC and Nebraska because you've heard of them. Or would you rather get on a plane and go to UCLA, North Carolina, Indiana and Duke? Is that a schedule which works for you, coach?

Your post is embarrassing.

Do you ever hear Wade talking about his rhyme and reason for scheduling? If you take a minute and listen, you will realize that he is very good and thorough at doing his job.

Ohio beat Belmont back on NOv 9. Ohio is a better team than Belmont. I do not know how Ohio and Liberty compare.

You really did embarrass yourself with this post tho. If you don't know much about college baskeball just say less and stick to a sport you know.
