The Wolf Pack basketball team returns a strong roster that looks poised to repeat as champions of the Mountain West, and the program has put together a schedule that could return it to the NCAA Tournament.

Nevada released its non-conference schedule Wednesday and it features five teams that posted a top-100 RPI last season: Rhode Island (31), Illinois State (39), TCU (52), Davidson (89) and San Francisco (100). The Wolf Pack also has a potential RPI-boosting road game at the Big 12's Texas Tech. While the schedule doesn't feature a team locked into the Top 25, it does have a solid amount of potential at-large résumé games.
