2 Cents: For a team facing high expectations with the return of A.J. Hammons and the surprise arrival of super frosh Caleb Swanigan, this is a mostly nondescript schedule. I do like home games vs. New Mexico and up-and-coming Vanderbilt, and the neutral-site games vs. Old Dominion and Butler will be difficult tests.[/QUOTE]
Selection, it may be non-descript, but I would take it on our schedule in a heartbeat.

Not really schedule related but I didn't think it was worth it to create a new thread. Found a Way Too Early Big Ten Prediction. Has the Gophers at 8. What do you think? http://go4report.com/way-too-early-big-ten-basketball-preview-2015-2016/
