If they seed the B4A like they have in the past, it is based off of previous year's RPI. In that case, we'd be the 7 seed against Arizona round 1.

So we get the loser/winner of Purdue vs NC State, and while NC State was trash this year, they'll be much better next year.

I think this will be one of those tourney's where I'll be happy with one win and two competitive losses.

NC State fired their coach and lost their to best players to the Draft. They're in full rebuild. I'd welcome a game with them.

Interesting. They will almost certainly be ranked, correct? Maybe even top 10? While very tough it will be nice to guarantee at least one ranked team in that tourney.

I believe they're top 10 in all the way too early rankings. And that was with Berry possibly leaving.

I actually meant Arizona, but yeah we'll get another top 10 for sure with UNC.

Arizona is loaded. They will be one of the preseason favorites to win it all.

Could be yet another game against a #1 ranked team.

Re: Official 2016-17 Basketball Schedule Thread (TV listings/Links/Times)

So, we could beat two #1s. Arizona becomes #1 after we beat UNC.

Carolina won't be preseason #1. We'll have to settle for beating #7 or so.

And defending national champion....

But in all seriousness. Our schedule will be brutal (I'm perfectly fine with it and like it) so I hope we don't let a bunch of early losses send us in a downward spiral again

The travel is much, much better this year. The MTE is in the week that everybody else plays theirs, we're not flying across the country less than a week before league play starts and we've actually got some home games this year. The schedule is incredibly challenging, but we've got older guys and travel and calendar wise it sets up so much better than the last two years.

UNLV just added two stud recruits today somehow. If we play them it makes our schedule that much harder

All about them RPI boosts. Bring 'em on.

Re: Official 2016-17 Basketball Schedule Thread (TV listings/Links/Times)

Pfft, if they're ranked #1, that just means we've got a guarunteed victory.

OK. You got me. Usually, I'm a voice of unbridled optimism. Bring on #1 UNC!

Unlv game official. We could be pretty good with a horrible non con record. Just hope the players can stay positive.

But just imagine if we can pick up a win here or there...
