With our non-conference schedule I don't really see the point of haggling over preseason rankings.

We will have exactly the ranking or lack thereof that we deserve by Christmas.

This this this this this.

I'm so glad we are playing a tough non-con again finally. A lot fewer B1G+ games and overall more compelling basketball.

Could be a potential issue with the start time for the Braggin' Rights game for many of us as the Bears are currently scheduled to play a home game against the Lions at the same time. Depending on what happens between now and then, there's always a chance that game could get flexed to a later kickoff.

Kind of more annoyed than I should be that the Alabama game is on SEC Network. I think that could be one of our biggest non-conference matchups in recent times especially if they beat Purdue prior to playing us. They would possibly be ranked first in the nation and our first big time opponent. Add in a team our fanbase is really excited to see fit together and I don’t get why it’s relegated to SEC Network on a Wednesday.

But you're just flat out wrong. That's why I'm not going to just move on. You can have your opinion, but the data doesn't support it.

You're flat out wrong. You also don't know how to move on. Move on man. We aren't going to agree and you just keep pushing it. Goodness

Yeah I agree, I was shocked to see it on SECN. Makes me think ESPN/2 have something locked in on that day already but I'm too lazy to look it up.

logistics question: do we travel to Indy on Saturday or Sunday? the case for Saturday is clear: emulate a regular season away game, which is clearly advantageous for our freshmen

A Buter matchup even if exhibition is great for the team. A decent team and a chance for the guys to work against different faces is a plus.

I like the idea of scheduling something like that this early with what BU said about the team at Media Day.

An old experienced team that's accustomed to playing together like Butler, especially if this is in Indy, are going to beat us like a rented mule. Let's have our kids see what that looks like and see where they really are, then we come home and have a couple weeks of practice with that taste in their mouths.
