Non-conference Basketball Schedule

[MidwestChomp]

We have some very good non-conference games scheduled this year. At Michigan State, neutral court vs Okie State, at home vs West Virginia, as well as Miami on the road, Richmond, St. Joe's, Purdue or Old Dominion. Welcome to big time basketball coach White.

And FYI, Alex Murphy tore it up for Finland at the World University Games. He averaged 20 points and 7 rebounds over 6 games.

Billy started it. It helped with our SOS or RPI or whatever they use to determine who makes it into the NCAA tourney these days.

I think it's just ok. It's nowhere near as good as last year. Ok state fsu wvu and sparty is the toughest non conference games. I'd like to see us play a blue blood every year but thats probably not realistic. It should be more manageable this year imo

IDK, I'd put MSU in the top 5 to 7 of national bb programs year in/year out - Izzo knows how to get it done; and that's enough for me to call them a 'blue blood' alongside Duke, NC, KS, Cuse, Zona......

Izzo is as blue as it gets.

Awesome. Cheer them on for us!

Plus, I really like the schedule. For a new coach to schedule as many quality opponents as he did is really good. He could have scheduled weak, but I like that he isn't shying away.
