The only other team I see out there who schedules games like this is Tom Izzo at State. Every year they have a tough schedule to start the season. I’m not sure how many true road games he sets up but I imagine that State has had a few. Either way, you are right on the fact that UNC does it consistently. Mcadoo is a beast…just had to drop that in there also.

And major props to LBSU for making a living killing themselves in the non-con…

Hell, we even played at High Point last year (and damn near lost) and at UNC Wilmington a couple of years ago (probably the most significant thing to ever happen to Wake Forest basketball as a result of Ty Walker’s presence).
