Wow! That's a very strong non-conference schedule for sure. It will really test us, and prepare us to dominate the Big Sky. Outside of Weber State, we should have pretty easy sailing in the conference.
I agree that scheduling these better teams, and beating a couple of them on the road, could lead to us elevating our program like Gonzaga did. I just wish we could recruit some more height and rebounding. Our guards can compete with the big boys, but as of now, we will get beat up on the boards and inside.
