Quick check-in of the non-conference schedule (every team we beat sucks, so these are just the losses):-LSU (14-16) - #81 Kenpom - would obviously be undefeated if they didn't play in the greatest b-ball conference ever-Liberty (23-6) - #72 Kenpom - good mid-major, co-favorite to win CUSA-St. John's (26-4) - #17 Kenpom - Pitino may be a cheating slut (on and off the court), but he wins-Drake (27-3) - #61 Kenpom - good mid-major, favorite to win MVC-Wichita State (17-12) - #125 - started off awful in AAC, then won several in a row, now losing several in a row (sound familiar?)If we handle business against WSU, LSU and either Liberty/Drake, we're probably safely in. Also, kudos to Tang on the #208 overall ranked non-conference schedule that featured THREE teams ranked 350 or worse in Kenpom. This includes both the last ranked team (#364 Miss. Valley State) and the next-to-last team (#363 Arkansas-Pine Bluff).

i would think noncon has to be really devalued in the era of NIL
