Look at it this way

[kshoe]

The only games that excite me in CUSA on a year-in and year-out basis are:

Marquette 2

Depaul 2

Charlotte 2

Louisville 1

Cinci 1

Memphis 1

UAB 1

I will be surprised if we don't play Marquette and Depaul once a year for a good while. I also will be surprised if we don't play 1 game for a while against one of the Louisville/Cinci/Memphis group. Thats 3 games.

We will probbaly get 2 each against Dayton, Xavier, and possibly Charlotte. Add in 1 game each against Temple, UMass, and St. Joe. and you have 12 quality games. We only got 10 in CUSA and 1 with Dayton. If the rest of our non-conference schedule stays the same our RPI will be fine, assuming Fordam and Duquene leave. If they stay it will hurt.

The A-10 will be fine for us, is it the perfect Papal conference we were hoping for, no. But its about the same as CUSA was going to be going forward.
