KenPom:
#339 Coppin State 61 @ #63 Georgetown 85 (99.0%)
#318 Western Carolina 61 @ #40 Marquette 84 (98.0%)
#176 New Hampshire 56 @ #56 Providence 68 (86.0%)
#261 Drake 61 @ #180 DePaul 69 (76.0%)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about Drake @ DePaul. New Hampshire might provide a little entertainment, but I'm confident the Friars win by double-digits. Georgetown and Marquette will be snackin'.

The Wildcats have already beaten Temple and Winthrop on the road. The Friars better not be looking past this one.

(Actually I'm just trying to strike a little fear in Billy Jack's heart. He'll probably be at the game, so he needs something to talk about with his friends.)

If DePaul can't handle Drake they have some SERIOUS issues. Drake is going to be one of the worst teams in the nation this year - they may end up in the 300's in RPI. Pains me to say that because I became friends with a few hardcore Drake fans in our years in the Valley, but they are just plain bad.

I honestly can't believe how poorly Wojo scheduled again this year. Is he not a smart guy? That's a serious question, another loss or two in the OOC and they are cooked minus 11-12 wins in the BE which will be a tall order.

Like SJU handling Delaware State? Lol......New Hampshire will provide a test, Depaul has no gimmies and Georgetown will probably play a close game. So looking in depth, there might be 3 tough games here.

MLS Eastern Conference Championship on FS1 bumps BE hoops to FS2 or FSN. Will be interesting to see what the ratings are considering it's a game between two Canadian teams (Montreal and Toronto).

Yeah, I actually briefly considered attending Drake (they were the first school to send me an acceptance letter) and have kept a passing interest in their basketball program. It's tough being a small state and recruiting against the likes of Iowa, Iowa State, and UNI.

Our schedule this season, while not a murderer's row of teams, is still way better than last year. As the team grows and Wojo finishes building his vision I expect better schedules going forwards.
