I'll take that. We have Kentucky twice on opening weekend, then go to UNC Feb. 24th. Nice way to start the season..

Some of us still have issues with the schedule, but Ohio State should have a good year. I'm going to do a preview here in a couple of weeks.

The Bucks schedule does leave me shaking my head... A few years back they even came down here for a tournament before going on to Fla. I don't know why they backed down on quality opponents.

The Bucks schedule might not be "loaded" with great teams but there are a few good ones. As a matter of fact, the Bucks play 4 of the "Top 30" on the pre-season poll. Coastal only plays 3, unless I missed one.

LSU plays 6 in the top 40 (15 teams if you count the "others receiving votes")

Hoping we can live up to the expectations this season.
Last year just teased me and gave a brief reminder of the glory days of the 90's.

it would had been nice to get a few Big 12 or SEC schools on the schedule like last year when they had Texas A&M and Arkansas

a win over Notre Dame (#27 in this poll) in the opener would be a nice way to start the season

Call me crazy, but i really think Indiana is the the team to beat this year. I was thinking that they would get a vote or two.
