Non-Conference
Nov 16: Central Arkansas
Central Arkansas went 8-21 last season and finished 11/14 in the Southland Conference.
Grade: D-
Nov 19: @ Seattle
The Redhawks were awful in the WAC last season going 13-17. They were bounced in the 1st round of conference tourney.
Grade: D-
Nov 22: @ Marquette
Marquette was pretty average last season and missed the NCAA Tourney. Still a tough early test.
Grade: B+
Nov 25: @ Nebraska
Tim Miles got the Huskers to the dance. Terran Petteway returns for a team that should get back there again.
Grade: B+
Nov 29: Nevada
Nevada has lost a step in the last several years, but it's still not a bad home game.
Grade: C+
Dec 2: @ Kansas State
KSU was right smack dab in the middle of a very good Big XII last season and ended up falling to Kentucky in the tournament.
Grade: A-
Dec 8: @ Air Force
Bottom dweller in the Mtn West is a very winnable game.
Grade: C-
Dec 10: Iowa Wesleyan
I am giving all non Division I team's this grade...
Grade: F
Dec 13: @ UMKC
Former Summit team in an intriguing match up.
Grade: D
Dec 17: Northern Colorado
Solid home game vs a good Big Sky team. UNC finished 5th in conference last season.
Grade: C
Dec 21: UT-Pan American
Last place in the WAC. Yikes.
Grade: F
Dec 29: @ Chicago State
Are the Mavs playing in two conferences? Sure seems like it. The Cougars were 8-8 and 13-19 overall last year.
Grade: D
Mar 3: @ North Dakota
UND lost in the Big Sky Championship last season, but lose a nice nucleus.
Grade: D+
Full Schedule
Thoughts:
Not a bad looking schedule overall for a new Division One member. Four DI home games isn't bad and can't ask for much else. The influx of WAC teams kinda waters it down a bit. Omaha is in a good location to get some solid power teams on the schedule every season.
Final Grade: C-
