re: Weak non-conference scheduling in baseball and basketball?

Miss State appears to be playing 19 straight home games to open the season against Portland, Grambling, Purdue, Samford, Rhode Island, St. Joes, MVSU, Central Arkansas and 1 game vs. USM. That's absurd.

But yet, we have an RPI of 34. Just because it is a small school doesn't mean they aren't good. Samford and Purdue were both good last year. Portland has a pitcher projected to go in the 1st round.

USM is also a good team this year. I don't know about St. Joes
