As Ross Hodge settles in as the next West Virginia head men’s basketball coach, one of the many things on his to-do list, is finalizing a non-conference schedule.
This past season, North Texas had the 71st non-conference strength of schedule rating, according to Team Rankings, while the year prior, they had the 61st non-con SOS rating. Contrast this with WVU who was 50th this past season and 93rd the year prior.
“I certainly want it to be a collaborative effort and I’m involved in it,” Hodge said.
Over the past two seasons, Hodge’s North Texas teams have played a combined four power five opponents during their non-conference slate.
