The Hogs need to be careful on Nov 18 when Arlington comes to town. They have five starters returning from a 24-win team, plus pre-season Sun Belt POY Kevin Hervey, who was injured mid-way  through the season last year. Don't let their lack of size fool you, because they had a +8 rebounding margin last season, which included wins over Ohio State and Memphis. Hogs will be favored, but this is a team that does not need to be taken lightly.

Our entire nonconference Texas slate should be interesting games. Houston has a strong squad returning, and Kelvin Sampson should have them as a conference champ contender in year 3. SFA has a new coach and replace top 3 players, but have been one of the most competitive and exciting midmajors in recent years, and Sam Houston is actually the favorite in the Southland this year.  I think we win those two by 10 to 15, but no pushovers with these games.

I thought something that stood out is UTA.  Could be the sneaky interesting game from a mid major.

Hell, the upset alert is the first game.  IPFW is a 24-9 NIT team with a nucleus coming back.  Hog will have to play well to win.

Mike really thinks he will have a very good squad this year by the way he hand picked these very good and experienced non conference opponents.  I hope we win them all but if not they will get us ready for SEC play.  Good for Coach to not run away from competition.   It will be a lot of fun for the fans as well. 

Go Hogs.

I'm pretty sure he had the teams scheduled before he knew the exact makeup of the roster, although I could be wrong.

I think it's more of needing better RPI games and SEC putting more emphasis on everyone's non con schedule, despite the quality of roster.
