This game is a perfect example of fans thinking our schedule sucks, but we are playing very quality opponents. UNCG will test us and be absolutely ready to play

Wade talked about this a lot and you could see it even at VCU. You have to schedule these mid majors but if you have to why not do it against the teams you know will put up big win totals, which SLU and UNCG will both do. Huge fault of Jones was scheduling his friends and specifically multiple MEAC or SWAC games in a year those absolutely can kill your RPI. UNCG will be worth a good +2 to +4 which is really good. St. Mary's is another prime example they will rack up a lot of wins while also providing a good matchup as good if not better than your low end Power 5 cellar dwellers.

CWW did it last year with Samford and this year with UNCG. Next year we will be in the Big 12/SEC challenge again. Probably if not there a Texas/LSU home and home with Shaka Smart.
