They play Wichita State in OKC as well.

Dang, I was hoping that would be a regular home-and-home.

That's a great field for the Puerto Rico tournament. Wish we were playing in one of the Vegas tourneys, though. Vegas as a destination is just so much more doable for a fan looking to travel.

We host Florida in the B12 versus SEC challenge.

Good slate of games. Should be us and Xavier for the tourney title. 1 to 2 losses against a very competitive non-con is certainly doable.

Speaking of Xavier, they got a big boost today; Trevon Bluiett pulled out of the draft.

I agree. I would for sure expect a 4th game at home against a low-major to go along with the Northwestern State, Northern Colorado, and ORU games. Then potentially the start of another home & home on the road against a decent team, if we wanted to add a 13th game. This would essentially give us the same scheduling model as last year, with the only difference being an additional neutral-site game.

Looks like it could be a tough schedule for us. The big12 should be easier, though.

I am wondering with the Zika scare and all the political turmoil how affordable the travel packages for Puerto Rico will be. If they look decent, my wife and I are thinking of going.

Nigel Hayes returning to Wisconsin. Tough game just got a lot tougher.

Right now I would say we lose in Madison, and go 2-1 in Puerto Rico. All the others are very winnable. Only Two non-conference loses with all we lose both in roster and coaching staff is still really good. IMO

Florida will be our toughest matchup. They return everyone and they add Barry who averaged 19.7ppg.
