When it comes to Stanford non-conference slate, optimists will call it ambitious and pessimists will call it brutal. Either way, it is really difficult.
The start of the Jerod Haase era at Stanford is going to be difficult.
Like last season, Stanford have a tough non-conference schedule for the 2016-17 season. Haase will be hungry to make his mark in Palo Alto, but with this non-conference schedule it may be difficult to do enough to convince and fill up Maples Pavilion with excitement in the early going.
Take a look at this year's non-conference slate:
| Date | Opponent | Location |
|---|---|---|
| November 11 | Harvard | Shanghai, China |
| November 15 | Cal State Northridge | Stanford, CA |
| November 17 | Weber State | Stanford, CA |
| November 20 | Colorado State | Stanford, CA |
