    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Not even Not even remotely what I said, but screw it. I am completely exhausted by constant accusations of hating on our program or coaches or whatever every time a critical comment is offered as though one cannot be a fan or a supporter without total and blind affirmation of everything that...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Read into my posts anything you want. That's all I can say to you. I am one of the biggest fans that NU has and have been for almost 50 years. The people that matter-- the folks that actually run NU athletics and, yes, that includes Chris Collins and Pat Fitzgerald-- know me and know that I am...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    And for perspective, 111 would be well inside the top half of our non conference opponents this year. Probably top quarter or better.

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Please try to read a bit more carefully. Nobody is asking for a "strong" preseason schedule of the type Michigan State often plays. But more games (and preferably at home) against real quality opponents would be good for fans in terms of entertainment and good for the team in terms of...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Not sure why I'm engaging with you but a couple of points: I do think that our SOS and the current weakness of the B1G is going to make getting to the tournament this year almost impossible. It could happen, and it would be amazing if it did, but there just aren't enough opportunities for big...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    This has been your schtick all along. Anything that is not completely effusive anybody has to say immediately gets attacked as some sort of affront to CCC or the program. I've posted that our schedule is objectively amongst the top 4 easiest schedules in all of college basketball of the power...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Yes, thank you for making clear what should have been obvious to anyone with a brain. The discussion was about interesting games at home and why the place is empty with no energy.

    Yes, that was the one interesting preseason game.

    Mississippi Valley State

    MSVS was 0-11 and ranked 348 out of 351. I'm not sure there was ever a time in the history of NU basketball where we wouldn't expect to destroy a team like that-- even during the dreadful years.

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    But let's just be clear about how weak this schedule really is. We play 5 teams with KenPom rankings below 280. We have the 314th easiest noncon schedule and there are only 3 power conference teams with easier schedules than ours (Baylor, Clemson, and Wazzou). Gonna have to have a really...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Of course, we may not be as "poorly prepared for a B10 schedule" as would normally be the case with our preseason schedule. With the exception of MSU, MD, and Purdue (and maybe IA) the B10 looks extremely iffy this year.

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    Maybe we learned something from NC. But VaTech? They're the bottom of the ACC and KenPom 112 right now. Hardly a "quality" win despite them being in the ACC. CC said when asked about the seemingly nuttier than usual noncon schedule this year that he thought this team needed to boost its...

    One problem with our noncon schedule

    I think this year is worse than ever. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall a year where just about all of the noncon teams we've played were ranked like 150 and worse with maybe 2 exceptions (this year being Columbia and NC). I mean, we're playing teams that probably don't...
