The game vs Princeton fell through, apparently. It's not listed on their website anymore either.

That's a shame. Sounds like a cool idea and the kind of opponent neither program really schedules.
Looks like a decent schedule with some challenging games and some near-guarantee wins. Nice balance to it.

Looks like the usual. Going to be a boring November and December.

Agree, generally pretty boring. I'll watch some of these just to see the new kids but not for much else. This is a 12-0 opener before conference play.

Only interesting games to me are Iowa and Drake. We don't win at IC and they don't win at Hilton (generally) so expect us to win going away later in the game. We both lost POY's but I think we have a lot more coming back (and coming in) than they do. The only moderately challenging game might be Drake. Drake is at home and will be well coached and super motivated, so, = good game.

Alabama isn't a good P5. They haven't even been to the NCAA's in 20 years. It is a road game but a P5 in name only.

Tempted to roadtrip up to Fargo just for the heck of it.

Look, let's get this right. When it comes to knocking basketball schedules, that's my deal.

Well...you rattled off a third of the schedule that is going to be challenging considering what we lost from last year. I’d say is just fine.

Be kind to Alabama! They beat Iowa @ Carver-Hawkeye Arena on their way to the 1994 Final Four! :D It was a great game too, as All-American Neisa Johnson was swishing the 3s for the Tide. Seriously, I did not realize it had been so long since they had been to the NCAA Tournament.

This is probably the most pathetic noncon we have ever had. This fanbase deserves way better. Quit kissing our butts in pressers and play some decent teams in Hilton.
