Minnesota Basketball: A look at the non-conference opponents

We have not talked much basketball here lately. And now we know what the non-conference schedule is going to be for Ben Johnson’s program this season.

Time for a brief look at the 11 teams we will face before jumping into the teeth of the Big Ten schedule.

Nov 7 - Western Michigan (H)

Last Season: (8-23) with 2 wins against non-D1 opponents

What to expect: Well a team that went 8-23 is not expected to turn things around and beat a Big Ten program (even one that is down) in the first game of the season.
