Non-Conference Schedule Solid for Gamecocks

Frank Martin announced the Gamecocks non-conference schedule for the 2015-16 season on Tuesday. At first glance, it seems that the competition is not strong enough especially after last years brutal non-conference schedule that included games against Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State. I think the non-conference schedule is solid, and deceptively difficult, however.

Let me preface by saying that this schedule is not nearly as difficult on paper as last seasons schedule. However, the schedule should not hurt the Gamecocks with games against Clemson, St. John’s, Memphis, and playing in the Paradise Jam.

I believe this schedule will allow the Gamecocks to play a few quality teams along with some teams that are sure wins.
