Correct. Tough week. Road game at Georgia on Sunday. Mid-week game versus Fresno State and Wisconsin on that Saturday. Most thought, even myself, that Fresno State would be over winter break. Between Dec. 17th- Dec. 22 range.

Ah got it. Yeah I kind of assumed they would be playing them Dec. 17 after the finals break.

Can we/should we beat Georgia? Have UGA friends, so need to know how much to bet?

Its official per Jon Rothstein - Marquette vs Michigan in the Wounded Warrior Classic

11/22/16
IUPUI (188 rpi)

So 11/13 non conference teams announced with the potentially weakest opponent to be Houston Baptist. Likely to be two duds post UW-Madison game to get ready for Conference play, but they did a nice job of beefing up the bottom portion of the schedule. Not a real marquee game in the group, but no duds either.

10 of 13 we know. 3 teams left to be announced. The weakest might be Howard.

I think only 9 have been announced. (Rockhurt is the exhibition.) With the Wisconsin game slated for 12/10, that would mean three more. So one for 12/17, one early that next week, with the final one either that Friday before Christmas or during the conference season.

I agree, we could see 12/17, 12/19 & 12/22 or 12/23.

Howard's not the weakest on the schedule currently. Houston Baptist looks like a stinker. I also think Howard is probably better than IUPUI or WCU, especially in terms of schedule impact.
