Manageable schedule. Duke, UNC, FSU and UVA all just once. If we are trying to dance no room to muck up early on.

 

[Steverc]

This is perhaps the weakest non-conference schedule in the history of non-conference schedules.

 

[Connell62]

Nah, there have been far worse. That said, that’s exactly what is needed. This squad needs to feast on as many cupcakes as possible.

We’re counting on guys to do things they’ve never done (at this level) and we need to give them time to gel!

 

[MidtownJacket]

100% agree we need some softness in the schedule. With a young team looking to find the alphas it’s better to have 5 extra wins against a soft schedule than it is to have a great SOS but be reliant on winning the ACCT because we were front loaded with a murder’s row and sat the wrong side of the bubble.

They could be playing in a tournament

It looks pretty normal to me. We sometimes have played in a higher profile tournament, but they've moved three conference games into December now so that makes it more difficult to schedule. I notice there are no Sunday games listed. I sure hope that doesn't mean they are going to make some last second swaps to Sunday night for TV like they did last year. That really messed up my friends travel for the weekend. I made every home game last season but we had WAY too many noon and 9PM starts.

Is there an SoS ranking like in football?

 

[Steverc]

Is there an SoS ranking like in football?

I'll rank it:

Clayton State - Not sure if this a real game or an exhibition
Georgia State - Average
Northern Illinois - Weak
Utah - Average
Marquette or Miss State - Average
North Alabama - Weak
Iowa - Average
Northeastern - Weak
Georgia - Weak
Alabama State - Weak
Florida Tech - Huh?

How do you sell tickets for this?

Thanks. I was looking for something like this. Except for 2023. https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2022/sos-rpi

I hear this KenPom (sic) type stuff all the time here and don't know the most credible ranking sites like I do in baseball and football.

A pretty good Wake Forest team (13-7 in ACC) got left on the bubble last year with a similar non-conference slate :/

LOL.. we can all rest easy now that professor Stevec has given his professional opinion on the 2023 schedule.

We won't really know how similar it is until the season plays out.

Last year oregon state was horribly bad, 3-28 and northwestern was 15-16 and Wake went to OT with both. They did play LSU but lost convincingly. Iowa and Marquette/MSU should be pretty stout competition and what we really need is to see whether Utah/UGA are NW level or Oregon State levels of bad.

What also hurt wake was the overall poor performance of the ACC OOC which made their ACC record not as impressive.

It's by no means a strong schedule it may hurt us down the line if we are a bubble team, but I think it's the right strategy for the team we have returning looking to find the leaders early.

I studied the trends, analyzed the reports, and crunched the numbers.

[RyanS12]

Anything worse than 9-2 OOC we have some problems. I think we drop one in Ft Myers and probably @ Iowa. The schedule sets up for a confidence builder and the Acc schedule outside of UNC early, sets up nice to get a couple W’s. We finally won’t face the bs Duke UNC uva FSU type opening like we usually face.
I think we go 9-2 OOC 10-10 ACC 1-1 ACCT = 20-13 overall. Squarely on the bubble.

After Ian, we will have to see if the Ft Myers event happens. Events scheduled for this week have been moved to St. Petersburg.

Georgia Tech – Oct. 22 at Vanderbilt; Oct. 29 vs. Tulane

I'd love get a home & home going with Vandy. We don't play them enough in general and they are the closest D1 AAU member.
