Longtime Fan says that Oregon and Bucknell has been added to the schedule. So we have those two, OU, Notre Dame and Dayton that we know of.
I'm sure IU-Kokomo and Longwood is in there, too.

That's really good news, both are solid additions.

I care more about home schedule, can't get word on that.

I like that we're getting power-5 teams. I just wish we could beat some of them. It feels like we haven't beaten a power-5 team in forever, which I guess is in part because we've played so few recently.

The team is ready to be challenged. I'm glad the schedule has gotten more difficult and I'm willing to trade some preconference lumps for a strong run in the conference.

I'm sure IU-Kokomo and Longwood is in there, too. I don't think so. IUK seemed to be a last minute fill in last year, but I'm sure another lower division school will make an appearance at Worthen. What's Cardinal Stritch up to these days? I expect the usual low-majors like we saw last year, along with traditional opponents like Valpo and IUPUI.

Calling them "freaking horrible" is a fairly ignorant comment.

Well we aren't playing them two years ago, and I doubt we will be playing them in the future. This year they are going to stink again. They won 11 games last year, and had a non-conference RPI of 207. At the moment they are "freaking horrible". Oregon almost played for a National Championship last season, and this year they aren't even ranked . Oregon will likely be forced to start two mid-major transfers and a Freshman. If we get them early in the season we should be very competitive there as well.

Compare: estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between.

No five wins vs a Big 12 schedule. They stink.....
