When you see it all together, it is one of the nicer non-conference schedules in ages.  I really like the way Buzz and MU are starting to put together the nonconference schedules.

Agreed, though I'll miss seeing the "scrubs" get their minutes a little bit in those early season games.

My only complaint is that we're not playing Vandy in early Dec.  Admittedly there's not much room but as a STH it would be great to have a big game in early Dec.  But as a fan...this is phenomenal. 

We have a pre conf stretch of

Bucky
Washington
UWGB
LSU
Northern Colorado
UWM
Vandy

That's 7 straight non-conf games where the least interesting is a team with a (2011) 90 RPI and made the dance.

With only 11 on scholarship, I'm not sure there are any "scrubs" on this team.

[Mr. Nielsen]

MU played at Vandy during break, so it's only fair for Vandy to come to Milwaukee during MU's break.

Now that Rob has graduated, it doesn't matter as much.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I like the fact that there is only 16 games at the Bradley Center, compared to 19 from last season.

I like the fact that there is no exhibition game this season.

It's to bad that two of MU's toughest non-league home games are during break.

True, there's no scrubs in the old sense of the word, but that was prime Jamail Jones time last year as well.  I always liked seeing how long it took him to start chucking threes. 

All in all, I'm very happy with our non conference schedule though.  Just picking nits.

It well may be "to" bad for the students who have gone home (to work on their grammar--lol), but the coaches/players dont think it's "to"(too) bad...as ideal scheduling is to play weaker opponents while school is in, and tougher ones when they're out of school session.
It's about the best chance for the wins, not about the fans' convenience.
