Not playing Utah or Colorado at home.

17 home games again? It seems like the range around the country is 17-20.

From the below it looks like it will be 18 home games regular season. 9 conference games plus the ones below equals 18. Then add a exhibition game or two.

Bigest game in McKale = Boise State - should be a white out game no doubt .

Appears to be straight out of the Herb Sendek School of Scheduling.

ASU is getting Kentucky. Got to play MSU in the Wooden.

How are the Cats allowed to play Boise State if Boise State is in the Wooden as well?

I think Boise St were ranked near the end of the season last year. They're a rising program

BSU was First 4 last season. Never made it out of the first round of the NCAAs so not much a tradition as a basketball school, but nice to see another school out west do well.

Our home game against Boise is supposedly part of the Wooden tourney.

Next season's game in Tucson will be a non-bracketed Wooden Legacy game, to be played within two weeks before or after the tournament in California. It means the Wildcats will then be on the other side of the bracket to reduce the chances the teams play each other twice.

Just added West Coast Conference powerhouse Pacific (rated #256 by KenPom last season) for the opening game on November 13th.

Pretty sure that we will hear that they are a very dangerous team and are extremely well coached.

I'm sure there were a ton of top-100 teams lining up to be our home opener that were rejected because they would be too much of a test.

We'll still have 5+ top 100 teams on ooc. And ucla, utah, Oregon, cal and possibly others all look like tournament teams. Stop whining.

You seem comfortable with it so how does that compare to the likes of Kentucky Duke North Carolina etc

Who cares?

Quite frankly our schedule is perfect for next year's team. If this were the schedule for the last two years I'd be screaming about how crappy it is as well based on our expectations. Next year's team is all about baby steps imo. We have a team ahead of us where the lineups are completely unknown heading into practice, while the last two years we knew exactly who were going to be our primary players. A lot of questions next year and playing beasts early in the year before we have it all figured out probably isn't the best way to go about it.

Now if next year's team has this crappy of a schedule there will be blood on these message boards for good reason.

Arizona might go Undefeated. Non-conference. Cal will be tough but I bet we split with them during the regular season.
