Chambers comment from the press release:
"We set up our nonconference schedule to help us become the best team by the beginning of Big Ten competition," said Chambers. "Our goal was to put our players in a position to compete against different styles of play to prepare them for what they will encounter during the conference slate."

My initial impression is that this is an absolute stink bomb of a schedule. They're going to have maybe three games of any consequence on this schedule. After last year, I get it, but there's no getting around that this should be a nine or 10 win noncon, minimum. Loaded with, as Dave Jones calls it, junk food.

It'll fill you up, but you won't feel good afterward.
