11/6 Davis and Elkins 11/9 UIC 11/14 @ Notre Dame 11/17 @ Duquense 11/20 @ William & Mary 11/26 Glenville State 11/30 @ Texas 12/4 @ JMU 12/8 @ Ohio 12/15 @ Clemson 12/18 @ UNC-Greensboro 12/21 Georgia Southern 12/29 @ Maryland 1/1 Mars Hill
Pretty solid schedule. UIC is projected to be a top team in the Horizon League as well as Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt so those are solid home games. A game I’m personally looking forward to is the game @ UNCG who won the SoCon and the game will be in the Greensboro Coliseum which is a favorite of mine.

Top to bottom, this is the most competitive non-conference schedule in the Radford’s history, imo. Power 5 matchups, and solid mid major games. We put together a strong winning record during non conference, it’ll really help our RPI.
Glad the Highs are coming to Ohio (especially after playing Ohio State last year and making a splash in Dayton during the NCAA tourney) so we can continue getting our brand better known in here in the mid west, hopefully helps with recruiting, too

I agree with you. I don’t like the D2/D3 games but I can’t complain. Still a good schedule. Would love to win one of ND,Clemson,Texas or Maryland. I plan on going to UNCG. Went and watch them vs Wofford last year. Being in the Greensboro Coliseum makes it much more enjoyable. Great venue.

Agree, but it might be even more helpful to not lose any of the mid-major games. I'll take a P5 win though!

We've actually crafted a schedule on par with what Winthrop put together the year they got the 11 seed and beat Notre Dame. You're right that if we run the table on the mid major games, we'd have a good shot at a higher seed as long as we stay competitive in the Power 5 games. But also remember, that Wintrhop team ran the table on the conference and that's a tall order!

Man that 06-07 Winthrop squad was legit. Torrell Martin,Craig Bradshaw,Chris Gaynor and those guys. I remember them staying close with UNC that year as well.
