Out of curiosity and sheer boredom, I wanted to see how the non-con opponents’ rankings compared to last season’s schedule.

For sake of argument, I used worst case scenario from an SOS perspective and assumed we will not meet Kansas in the preseason NIT.
So going by TRank (the only one with 2019 rankings that I felt like looking at), the 2019 pre-season and 2018 final rankings are as follows:

2019
Tennessee -- 12
Wisconsin -- 18
Indiana -- 19
Kansas St. -- 26
Louisville -- 36
Buffalo -- 84
UMBC -- 248
Southern -- 351

2018
Purdue -- 5
Wichita St. -- 26
Wisconsin -- 63
Georgia -- 64
LSU -- 66
Vermont -- 94
VCU -- 128
Mt. St. Marys -- 244
NIU -- 249
EIU -- 256
American -- 327
Chicago St. -- 345

The current 2019 aggregate ranking of the 8 opponents listed is 794 – an average ranking of 99.25.
The 2018 aggregate ranking of the top 7 plus Chicago St. (because that most closely mimics Southern, which is basically this year’s Chicago State. Worst of the worst.) is 791 – an average ranking of 98.88.

Which means to me what others have said already: that this year’s schedule is good… so far.

Not that TRank predictions are indicative of RPI, but if we round out the schedule with five EIUs and no VCUs, then it's possible our final RPI could be worse than last year.

Is this is the NIT pairings?

Makes me think it's atleast a decent announcement? Because they definitely snuck southern into the schedule without making an announcement and can assume they would do the same if this next team was a low crummy team.

I'm guessing the NIT Tip-Off home games.

Our defense will determine what kind of season we will have; not the schedule.

Couldn't have said it better.

If you consider the TBT alumni team to still be #mubb related then that was the news

Yeah,  I think that first tweet was a little misleading. Still the TBT news is cool

I just hope we play all of the NC games we're allowed to because going 40-0 sounds a lot cooler than 39-0!

The tweet said mubb scheduled related—this news is not that.

Barry Brown WILL return for K State, making that matchup just that much tougher.  At least it's at home.

We are. Confirmed by Mike Broeker, we'll be playing 13 non-con games.

That's why I said if you still consider them to be a part of the MUBB hashtag it would be that

Right.

Misleading indeed.

Pulling out is the best way to avoid unwanted scheduling.
