Northwestern basketball’s non-conference schedule officially came out Wednesday without much fanfare. The matchups were already announced, so the official announcement mostly just clarified dates. One new nugget did come out, however: Northwestern will not play a true road game in the non-conference.
I wrote about Northwestern’s schedule back in June, and not much has really changed since then as far as the schedule. Here’s what I said in that story:
“...the Wooden Legacy will be paramount. The eight-team, bracket-style tournament will give NU opportunities to play solid competition. Miami and Seton Hall both lose a lot of talent, but have made the NCAA Tournament each of the previous three seasons.
