Based on last year's RPI, Virginia Tech is the worst team on UNI's OOC Schedule.

This thing is Sneaky good.

11-15 North Dakota (2 for 1)
11-18 @ Stephen F Austin
11-20 Morgan State (Cancun Challenge)
11-22 North Florida (Cancun Challenge)
11-25 Virginia Tech in Cancun
11-26 Northwestern or Miami OH in Cancun
11-30 Richmond
12-6 George Mason
12-10 @ Denver (Last BB return)
12-13 @VCU (Buy game, unfortunately)
12-20 Iowa in Des Moines
12-28 South Dakota State (Buy Game)

Now all you got to do is win!

Since you have the numbers, can you post them? Agree that this schedule appears to have really come together nicely. Not a lot of chances for "marquee" wins, so you'll need a very solid record against it (10-2?), but there is enough meat there to get an at-large.

Here you go. Taken from RealTime....

There might be a bit of pressure on UNI to run the table to the VCU game. If they get by a tricky game at SFA (which will be a quality win), there's no reason they can't sweep Cancun.

UNI's one of the few in the league who's seem to have figured out how to avoid the harmful cupcakes.

Yep. There is just enough there, but it's gonna take a heck of a record. Luckily, UNI has a veteran team that shouldn't need until January to be good.

It appears (via UE SID Bob Pristash) that the MVC portion of the schedule will be released on Thursday.

I know I'm late, but I've got a lot of respect for UNI's schedule.

Hope you guys are rewarded for it with a great performance and a tournament run. I'll be cheering for you guys all non-con, at least

We need to be cheerleading for the MVC teams that are doing their best to make the conference better.

The crazy thing about UNI's schedule is playing 7 games in 16 days to start.

Playing Tuesday morning in Texas and turning around to play Thursday night in Cedar Falls is a pretty crazy turnaround.

Only play 5 games in December...

Either means the team hits a hot streak and picks up some wins

or

Team hits a cold streak and craps the bed
