Pre Season Non-Conference Schedule.

Anyone else tired on recent one-sided exhibition games against weak opponents. Give the team a taste of Big Ten play with games against comparable opponents, please.

I'll give the staff a pass for last season, since it was hard for everyone to schedule given the concerns with COVID-19.

We already know the team is participating in the Paradise Jam this year, which should serve as great prep for the B10: https://scarletknights.com/news/202...s-trip-to-paradise-jam-in-virgin-islands.aspx

My opinions : as for exhibitions being one sided , since they don't count in official records , are scheduled like a hard practice meant to get the players used to each other and help build the teamwork needed to win games in regular season.
Playing programs that will be vastly overmatched by the RU squad is a great way to get the players used to each other and the exicabitions should be considered a glopryified pratice session against players that aren't your teamate and also have the pressure to win while getting used to each other's playing habits
