What's Up with Our Non-Conference Home Schedule? We have to consistently win both at home and especially on the road. Don't expect a great home schedule for a while, not until we consistently win.
Gonzaga was able to get it going quickly because they advanced deep in the 1999 tournament. Their scheduling ramped up the following year and has been excellent since. They've also been back to the Dance since that season.
Bottom line, we have to schedule bottom to mid-tier teams knowing we'll be on the road (like Pacific, Wazzu, Washington, USF) and then win those games. Or see if we can get a two-for-one deal.
