We play UNC Greensboro this Friday who made the NCAAT last year and won 22 games. They are a good team.
We also play Memphis in a week coached by Penny Hardaway, they will be a good team.
We open with College of Charleston at the Advocare invitational who won 26 games last year, made the NCAAT and nearly knocked off Auburn in the NCAAT.
In game 2 of the Advocare we'll likely play Florida State, who is ranked, won 23 games last year and made the NCAAT Elite 8.
There's potential for us to play Villanova in the Advocare Tournament as well, no need to introduce them...
The schedule is filled with some good opponents even before we get out of the Advocare Invitational. But even then we still play Houston and Saint Mary's in December. Saint Mary's won 30 games last year and made the Sweet 16. Houston won 27 games last year and won a game in the NCAAT.

It sounds like we play a lot of dangerous teams that can beat us but will not necessarily appear to be a great win if we come out on top.

Penny is obviously getting a lot of hype and I know he's been recruiting well, but I'm not sure how good they'll be. Not that I don't think they could be, I just really don't know. The preseason projections I've seen all have them around the middle of the AAC.
But I agree with your overall point. The OOC schedule isn't that bad.

Agreed. That could be a tough game if LSU overlooks them.

I'll have to see it to believe it. Hardaway will pull in the Memphis talent. But it's a whole different animal to coach that talent against experienced college coaches vs. the unorganized mess played in AAU and HS ball.
