Well, the schedule looks pretty good to me. At the very least, it seems like it will be more challenging out-of-conference than last year's slate. In 2009/10, except for the three rivalry games (UNC, U of L, Indiana), we had UConn and a bunch of cupcakes. Heck, even the best other team in our holiday tournament last year was Stanford (thanks, Billy G).

This year, in addition to the rivalry games, we get a neutral-site game with Notre Dame, and an interesting game at Portland (who beat Minnesota, Oregon, UCLA, and St. Mary's last year). The Maui tourney has us playing Oklahoma first, probably Washington next, and if we beat the Huskies probably Michigan State in the finals.

The only complaint might be that the home shedule is a little weak, since all the big nonconference games are either on the road or at a neutral-site. But the silver lining is I guess that will prepare the team for the NCAA's well.

Come tourney time the cats will be ready physically and mentally.
