East Lansing — Playing some of the top programs in the country is nothing new at Oakland.
The Golden Grizzlies routinely line up quite the schedule of big boys every season, and for the better part of November and December, veteran coach Greg Kampe leads his team through the gauntlet as it tries to prepare for Horizon League play while bolstering their NCAA Tournament resume.
This season, alone, Oakland has played at Maryland followed by four straight road games against high-end Mid-American Conference teams.
