Seriously.....the two exhibition games they play might just be the toughest games until they meet Arizona on 11/25.

They are actually playing all these total cupcakes on their home floor:
Louisiana Monroe, UMKC, Washburn, Northern Arizona, Florida Atlantic, Eastern Washington, Ohio, Miami (OH), Yale, and Loyola of Maryland!
This is a laughably soft schedule for a team that pretends to be a national contender!

Wow! I'd be pretty P.O.'ed if I was a season ticket holder.

This is so, so typical of teams like Kansas

Season ticket holders, hard core fans, fans, and fair-weather wives love a whooping... sit back relax, nothing to worry about, see some "hi-lite action" ... Illini fans love that crap too.

Me... the best games I have seen have been nail biters and even some losses.

Does it really matter?

Looks like a 'smart' schedule to me - good mix of minors, mid majors and majors, you know they protect themselves very nicely because in the 'good ole boy' circles losing a game to a major i.e. USC on the road won't hurt you and their pretty sure they'll win all of their home games no matter who they play!

Besides they really have nothing to prove as the regular season nor the B12 tourney records don't matter much to their route to the NCAA (except their designated region and seeding) as long as those leagues continue get 7-9 bids. So why would you tempt fate by playing regional teams like WSU, Creighton or MSU from the Valley - a loss to one of them only strengthens their resume?
