Final Gophers' Nonconference SOS Breakdown

[SelectionSunday]

The final breakdown of the Gophers' nonconference schedule. Would have liked a marquee home game, but overall nonconference strength of schedule should not be a problem for the Gophers. Shouldn't be too many RPI killers on this schedule.

Final 2011-12 RPI is noted in parentheses.

This looks like an overall good competitive OOC schedule for us. I also like the way we open up the B1G schedule at home for a change.

Thanks!

Looks like yet another year of getting ripped off in the non-conference schedule as a season ticket holder. Overall with the Battle and the BT/ACC game it is a good test. Looks like 10-3 or 11-2 non-conference to me. 8-0 at home, beat USC on the road and pick up a win or two in the Battle. Better than 11-2 would be outstanding.

Yeah, the home slate isn't inspiring, but at least in the case of this season, you can give a little pass considering the tough tourney they're in, plus they have a couple of "major" conference roadies in there. I had some hopes, but oh well. We should know a little more about this team heading into conference play than we did last year I think.
