This is the nonconference schedule of the team projected by many to cut down the nets next April.
KANSAS JAYHAWKS
Nov. 13 – HOFSTRA (104)
Nov. 17 – vs. Memphis (7) (Hall of Fame Classic)
Nov. 19 – CENTRAL ARKANSAS (319) (Hall of Fame Classic)
Nov. 25 – OAKLAND (122) (Hall of Fame Classic)
Nov. 27 – TENNESSEE TECH (272) (Hall of Fame Classic)
Dec. 2 – ALCORN STATE (342)
Dec. 6 – at UCLA (33)
Dec. 9 – RADFORD (132)
Dec. 12 – vs. LaSalle (112) (Kansas City)
Dec. 19 – MICHIGAN (44)
Dec. 22 – CAL (39)
Dec. 29 – BELMONT (124)
Jan. 2 -- at Temple (30)
Jan. 6 -- CORNELL (115)
Jan. 10 -- at Tennessee (25)
Average RPI of Opponents: 121.333
Average RPI of Home Opponents: 161.3
NCAA Qualifiers (8): Cal, Cornell, Memphis, Michigan, Radford, Temple, Tennessee, UCLA
Top 100 (6): Memphis (7), Tennessee (25), Temple (30), UCLA (33), Cal (39), Michigan (44)
The Good?: How many teams can say they have 8 NCAA qualifiers on their schedule? My guess is the Jayhawks will be the only one.
The (not so) Bad?: KU has some "secondary" RPI games that are solid as well. Hofstra (Colonial), Oakland (Summit) and LaSalle (A-10) figure to finish at or near the top of their respective leagues.
The Ugly?: Self's schedule is so well put together, he can be excused for scheduling Alcorn State, which finished second to last in the RPI (barely ahead of NJIT) last season.
