Louisville nonconference schedule (COMPLETE #133)

Not exactly a taxing nonconference slate for the defending national champions, though I'm encouraged that Papa Pitino is playing at FIU this season. Will Big Rick be equally as willing to play a home-and home with Little Rich now that his son's program resides in a much better conference (with access to much better talent than FIU)?

What are the expectations for YSU this season? The Horizon looks a little but up for grabs? Green Bay the favorite, perhaps?

SS,
I think it's a three team race between Wright State, Green Bay, and Youngstown State in the Horizon League. If healthy, Kendrick Perry can easily be the player of the year in the Horizon League for YSU. Detroit is going to be awful this season, Valpo loses everybody, Cleveland State who knows, and newcomer Oakland could be the wildcard.
 

Incarnate Word (nonconference schedule)

This could very well be the worst nonconference schedule that gets posted. I guess it's a good thing they are technically a D2 school for 2013-14 transitioning to D1. They would never make the NCAA Tournament with this nonconference schedule.
