LOL, nice job of changing the question.  I echo Calhoun.  That team was more concerned with getting to the NBA than winning the NCAA.  But that wasn’t the point of my post.   Let me spell it out for you.  When we played in a league with 5 Top 25 teams (we were #6) our strength of schedule was extremely high even taking into account the fact that our non-league schedule was weak.  In the upcoming season it is unlikely that we will face 6 Top 25 in and out of conference combined, never mind that we played Arizona and Gonzaga, both Top 10 at the time, in Maui, and multiple games with some of the ranked Big East teams.  Oh and Indiana was #20. I think over all we played like 13-14 games vs Top 25 teams that year.   Tell me again how this year’s non-conference schedule is comparable to what we played in 2005-06.

I know people will get mad when I say this, but when you are in a borderline major conference you need to schedule differently than you did when you were in the top league in the country If you want to be a major power.  There might be 2 teams in the NewBiE that are ranked this year.  Problem is we might be one of them.
