2022-23 Out of Conference Schedule

I wanted to see how our 22-23' opponents last year NET rankings worked out and what our Quadrant 1-4 games breakdown would look like:

• IUPUI - 358 Q4
• N.C. A&T - 286 Q4
• Milwaukee - 333 Q4
• Villanova - 6 Q1
• **North Carolina - 17 Q1 OR Portland - 181 Q3
• **Oregon - 76 Q2 VS UConn - 18 Q1 OR Michigan State - 38 Q1 VS Alabama - 32 Q1
• North Dakota - 348 Q4
• St. John's (NY) - 64 Q2
• Iowa - 14 Q1
• McNeese State - 313 Q4
• Western Michigan - 329 Q4
• Omaha - 346 Q4
• Missouri - 151 Q3

That works out (not considering the additional games at PKI):

Q1 - 2
Q2 - 1
Q3 - 1
Q4 - 7

The additional games at PKI gives more chances at quality wins. If I had to guess we'd end up losing to Villanova, beating Portland, and playing a tough game against Michigan State. That would give us:

Q1 - 3
Q2 - 1
Q3 - 2
Q4 - 7

VS last year non-con

Q1 - 4
Q2 - 0
Q3 - 1
Q4 - 8

So one less gimme game this year but pretty well balanced. You trade a Q4 for a Q3 and a Q1 for a Q2. Who knows wat the actual NET rankings will be but I assume it will work out to something like this. Not a bad non con at all. The B12 will be a beast once again so plenty of opportunities to increase our SOS there. ISU ended up with the most Q1 games played (21) last year, crazy stat.

Villanova with the loss tonight to Temple, which lost its first game to Wagner. So ISU > Wagner > Temple > Villanova. Easy win!

Not sure where to put this but TCU has looked shockingly bad in their tuneup games including a loss and one point win.

They were playing awesome last year to end season and looked just as good as Arizona in that tourney OT game. Curious if they get it figured out or something going on.
