I looked up UCLA, Baylor, and Virginia's schedule to see if any of them had good litmus tests before the Vegas tourney. All of them play cupcakes just like us. But Virginia does play Monmouth 3 days before we do, so that's something at least.

Before coming to Champaign, Syracuse doesn't have much either. They are in a tournament with Richmond, St. John's, and Temple. Maybe we can see Curbelo light them up.

Texas, OTOH, does have some good tests before playing us. They play Gonzaga and Creighton, both at home.

I couldn't find Mizzou's schedule. I guess that tells you how excited they are about their season, lol.

I do like our schedule. Seems pretty favorable and should help all the new guys gel early on. .

as we spread the floor with 3 or 4 guys 6-9 or better on the court, i see an interesting high low game
in the half court.

I think it will be rare that we have more than two 6'9+ guys on the court at the same time. Mayer and one of Coleman/Dainja.
