Non-Con definitely seeing an uptick...Missouri, Arizona, potentially Duke, and/or Gonzaga. Used to seeing Central Michigan, Southern Indiana, and UKMC, so this is nice. Will certainly test the team early.

How good is Arizona supposed to be next year?

Miller did a pretty solid job recovering from the FBI deal. They picked up some nice grad transfers and were able to get top 40 PG Brandon Williams to recommit along with a top 100 SG. Should also note that they have former 5 star Duke transfer Chase Jeter coming off a sit out year. That said, they replace their entire starting 5 and last year's leading returning scorer averaged 4.3 ppg in 14 minutes per game. I think the national consensus as far as predictions go is bubble team on the right side but it seems like a very tough situation to project.

Makes this seem like a very favorable draw.

If we play Zaga and Duke (or even Auburn) that is up there for one of the more impressive non-cons on paper, IMO.

Im assuming with this, our non-con schedule will be released today/tomorrow. Both KU and KSU have already released theirs.

It's actually Drake this year in the Big 4 Classic. Drake will be the better of the 2 this season imo.
