you should post the schedules...


If someone thinks they have a case, they can post their case - most don't have a case though so I don't expect many will post their non-conf games.

For SCAR:

Baylor (today, 12:00 noon)
Penn State (Friday)
UNC Asheville
Oklahoma State
Clemson
Iowa State

That's the toughest non-conf schedule in the conference this year I think.

Bama and Arky have to play a tough Iowa State...yeah..post the schedules


So does SCAR, among others.

If you think Jaw Jah has a tough non-conf schedule, post it. If you can make a case for someone, post it.

There's just not a whole lot of other cases to be made beyond the ones I listed in the OP and, of those, SCAR clearly plays the toughest non-conf schedule.

Frank Martin is scheduling tough non-conf games, now I hope he can win the majority of those.

and either Oregon State or Oklahoma State in Vegas Tournament.

Decent compared to what we have had.


That's true ... didn't realize Bruce had already stepped-up that much.

Interestingly, SCAR already has Oklahoma St scheduled, but there are some other teams we could face in the Charleston Classic after the first game against Penn State. The other teams in the classic are Akron, Cornell, UNC Charlotte, Drexel, Miami and SoCal.

That's actually pretty tough.

I guess The Slive Directive to toughen-up non-conf schedules was heard and obeyed across the board for most programs within the conference.

Mizzou evidently ignored it, but so did A&M it would appear. Vandy too. LSU I'm not sure about.

kentucky plays absolutely nobody


Providence usually has a decent team and was a tournament team last season. EKU was an NCAA Tournament team last season.

Wake Forest hasn't made an NCAA tournament since 2010. Florida State hasn't made one since 2012. Miami in 2013.

ETA: 2010 not 2004

Wake made it and embarrassed themselves a few times between 2004 and 2010, when the Wall-led cats beat them in the round of 32. Another fun one was the first round loss to Cleveland State the year before, after being ranked #1.

You're right. 2010 was their last appearance. Either way, my point still stands.

Oh absolutely. The Bzdelik years will leave a psychic scar for a long time. I celebrated alone in lexington when he was fired, which was somehow less sad than everything about that shitshow of a human.

We lost a really bad game. That doesn't have anything to do with our strength of schedule, which is what you originally posted. Thanks for confirming my original point.

You dumb.
