Yeah, especially this is kind of how Pope schedules.

He has his tough teams, but he plays the easiest of the easy in all the other non-conference games.

It's not really anything new, this model that we have.

But we've never not done this, Shannon.

Oh, yeah, we've always played.

I mean, Ryan was complaining about it years ago, playing all these teams that we're bringing into Rupp Arena.

I think that's the criticism, the Rupp Arena schedule.

Okay, fair enough.

I mean, but we are, who are we playing?

We played Louisville and Rupp this year, right?

Got Louisville.

I wish they would get one more good non-conference game.

But we still have two games left to come on the schedule.

I'm always surprised, Drew, that Dick Vitale knows better.

He knows everybody plays teams like this.

We do this every year.

We play half good teams and half bad teams.

I don't think, Drew, that's unreasonable.

Do you?

No, and the good teams are really good, so you can't expect them to load up with some pretty good mid-majors in the other games.
