Texas
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

We will also likely play 3 of West Virginia, St Bonaventure, Temple, Clemson, and Boise State in the Charleston Classic. There are two teams still to be named, so they'll be in that mix too.

I would like to see a Buffalo, Belmont, or Wright State type of buy game that is a high powered mid-major.

And in the Big East/Big 12 Challenge, I absolutely want Texas.

I would make it extremely weak outside of the bigger names we already know. That way the players get acclimated to the new regime and new teammates without getting their confidence destroyed during the growth phase.

An OOC Catholic school we've played before but haven't in awhile (not counting ND since they're on the schedule for 2022-23). Any of these maybe to start:

Gonzaga
Loyola
Saint Louis
Dayton

The problem with the last three is that Marquette would never take a home and home with any of them, and those schools would likely not take anything less.

Shoot for the stars. If any blue bloods will have us - schedule them. Wojo era non-con was littered with teams Wojo should’ve beaten, and we often took bad losses (Georgia 2017 comes to mind).

I’d rather schedule the best we can in non-con, be an underdog, and give our team a chance to either learn and get a lot better or shoot into the rankings with a few wins.

Fact is they will need home games. I would be happy with one additional P6 school outside of UCLA, Wisconsin and B12 challenge. We were slated to be a 2020 Gavitt Games participant so maybe that will continue for this year.

I wonder if something would work with Loyola for a game here, and a return game at the United Center.  We would likely bring more fans in Chicago.

UCLA will be at home this year as we were in SoCal last year, right?

....but  5 against 1 seems just a bit unfair.

Yep. At UW and UCLA at home. My guess is B12 road and home Gavitt.

I think we are going to get a proper offseason that allows them to gel, so this is less of a worry for me.

Get a team or two from the upper end of the summit league for buy games...plenty of Wisconsin kids play with these schools and their upper end teams like ORU, South Dakota State and North Dakota State are pretty good.

Boooooooo

Don’t reinforce low expectations. Throw them out of the nest like real Golden Eagles. They will learn to fly eventually.

I would definitely like Gonzaga.  I also wouldn't mind reestablishing our rivalry with L'Ville or Cincinnati.

We already have:

@UW
3x Charleston Classic
UCLA
Gavitt Games
BE/B12 Challenge
20 Big East Games

That leaves us with 4 games to be scheduled. I'd imagine all 4 will be buy games ($$$) though hopefully at least one is of the Buffalo/Vermont/Belmont persuasion. The only way we get another significant opponent is if we aren't in the Gavitt Games this year.
TAMU

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
