I hope we start adding some better competition in the nonconference.

IDK if all these spots have already been filled, but it would be cool to get invited to one of the early season tournaments like Fort Myers or Charleston (or even like a Battle 4 Atlantis). Even if it would mean an early season loss to a good team, at least we'd get some semblance of how good the team actually is playing against legit major competition or even some quality mid-majors and it would eliminate the "But they haven't played anybody!" criticism that we get in December.

The Cornhusker Classic is kind of nice, but usually the opponents are some real stinkers (Duquesne this year being a big exception)

I agree that it would be nice to be in a better exempt tournament, but most of those tournaments are owned by ESPN (like bowl games) so sometimes it's hard to get into their rotation once you've gotten out.  You kind of have to kiss ESPN's butt.

Word is we're likely heading back to the Pentagon this fall.  No word on the opponent.
