Thanks Don. I'm sure there's only maybe a handful of people who even care, but for me it's worth it even if only one person finds it remotely interesting.

Agreed! Thanks SS, I always find it interesting to look at schedules in any sport and its fun to see how some teams schedule stronger opponents, while others kind of take the cupcake route.

Here's to you, my friend: :drink::drink:

UC-Riverside (#74 of 347)

From UCR head coach Jim Wooldridge, upon release of UCR's nonconference schedule:

"We have always played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the Big West," said Wooldridge," and this year's schedule is no exception."

I sure hope Wooldridge didn't try to say that with a straight face. Somewhere, fellow Big West head coach Dan Monson (Long Beach State) is laughing.

You've got to commend Rick Ray at Mississippi State for somehow managing to put together a weak nonconference slate even though his team is in the loaded Maui Invitational. :)

But as for Gonzaga, they don't really deserve any particular accolades for their nonconference schedule - they are like Memphis, they know they're playing in a weak conference so they have to load up in the OOC portion of the schedule in order to have quality win opportunities to build their resume and SOS. If they didn't have a strong OOC schedule, they would be limiting their potential seed in the tournament.
