Early look at our OOC schedule, it looks brutal

@ Wisconsin
Syracuse
@ UNC
Illinois
NC State

If we have any kind of offense,, Wisconsin is a dub..they can't score in recent history
Syracuse is a rebuild
UNC lost top scorer in Caleb Love
Illinois ?
N.C.State leading scorers in Backcourt went pro...

Only game Vols shouldnt be a heavy favorite is UNC...

If we sweep and win SEC, do we get to claim 3 conference championships.

 

[Special Ed]

They all look doable to me.

Lots of name recognition there, and none of those teams are going to be garbage, but only one (Illinois) made the NCAAT, last year, and they were out in R1.

Also a really good field of teams at the Maui invitation. Regardless how we do against Syracuse we will have a good matchup against either Gonzaga or Purdue.

Then there is a 75% chance we play one of Kansas, UCLA, or Marquette.

Tarleton State looks like the easiest ooc win.

Yeah I think both NC State and Syracuse maybe tournament games.

They want be heavy favorites in a road game against Wisconsin. Probably pick em to slight underdogs.

Right now it looks like UNC, Wisconsin, Illinois, and our 2 opponents after Syracuse in the Maui Invitational will be top 30 opponents. That's a wonderfully tough schedule.

 

[spyfish007]

It is a good schedule to find out if we are who we think we are. I think it is a solid schedule, not a brutal one.

Watching DJ Burns finishing his career at NC St. Still a BIG boy but seems to be a good team mate. Has a nice spin move to the bucket. 10 pts in 8 minutes.

Exactly surprised Wisconsin wasn’t ranked going into the game.

Exactly surprised Wisconsin wasn’t ranked going into the game.

It's a very good Quad 1 win, which is more relevant than ranking. FWIW, they were ranked AP 26th as far as 'others receiving votes'.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Tarleton State looks like the easiest ooc win.

Tarleton is a public research university.

They post good stats.
