You must be really down on the league then. I feel we'd have to drop three out of conference for 11 wins to keep us out

11 league wins isn't the same as it used to be since we now will play 20 league games instead of 18. It's more our nonconference schedule that give me pause. It's not terrible, but it's not going to help us a ton with the selection committee. Other than Washington we might not play a NCAA tourney team in nonconf. Need to get some wins against the beef in our conference with that nonconf schedule.

I guess I disagree with those notions, I think 20 league games is an advantage now that we are in the tier system, less tier four games to worry about. Washington, A@M, Utah, okie state and BC should be at worst Tier 2, maybe Washington ends up a tier one game, will see, last year we had something like nine tier four games out of conference, only have six max this year.

The 20 league game schedule will help a bit overall. But not as much as some seem to think. Last year we played 19 conference games including the B1G tournament. Eight of them were Tier 3 or Tier 4. That's 42%. More B1G games is no guarantee of more high quality games. In referring to the B1G schedule I was just saying that winning 11 of 20 isn't as good as winning 11 of 18.

As far as nonconf goes, we had 8 Tier 4 games in nonconf play last year, and it's highly doubtful we have that many this season. But we also had 4 Tier 1 games in last years nonconf schedule, and I highly doubt we end up with that many this season. BC is the best bet to be a Tier 1 because it is on the road. Washington has a good chance to be a Tier 1 game as well. Utah and Okie State are both NIT teams that lost a ton of key players -- they will be Tier 2 games at best, Utah might end up a Tier 3 since it is at home. A&M is a wild card -- Sweet Sixteen team last year that lost most of their core. Overall, there's just not much meat on our nonconf schedule.

So we should have fewer Tier 4s, but also likely fewer Tier 1s. Last year our nonconf SOS ranked #279. That's awful. This year should be a little better, but I'm not sure it will be significantly better.

Fair enough agree to disagree will see how it plays out
