I guess I am late to the party, I was looking at this years basketball schedule and noticed we have 2 big ten games in the beginning of December?

I guess I should not have been skimming the articles about the expanded big ten basketball schedule... I had no idea they were going to be like pre season big 10 games.

I am not sure If I hate that, or I like it.  Gives a couple quality games early, and you get a chance to see where you stand with league competition, then go back and play some NC opponents... 

On another scheduling note... Our Big ten schedule is really really easy... I see 5 automatic losses, but the rest of the schedule is about as good as you can ask for.  I was previously in the 15-17 win camp... but it would not take much to get this team to 20 wins with this schedule...  Nothing like amping up expectations for a new coach...
