re: 2017-2018 Rebel Hoops 12-20 (5-13): USCe L; HIRE THAD MATTA

Don't forget we get Texas in the big 12 tournament and we have Utah in the Las Vegas tournament. If we beat Utah we will get an UNLV team that has top 25 preseason hype. Overall we could potentially play three top 25 teams in the nonconference schedule. We really need to win one and take care against the bad teams. Our nonconference schedule overall is pretty good and gives us a chance to pick up a good resume heading into SEC play. When you add the Texas game that will played in the middle of SEC play, I think three losses or less will put us in great position in the non league to make the tournament.
