The non NCAA games serve as confidence boosters. After playing major schools it can get demoralizing if you're getting beat down. The non NCAA games flip the tables so to speak and help remind the players that they're D1 for a reason. the objection isnt scheduling non d1 schools the issue is we schedule the lowest possible quality non D! schools like NAIA and NCCAA schools. There are plenty of local d2 schools who would be great opponents. Wingate, Belmont Abbey, UNC Pembroke, Brevard, Barton, Lees Mcrae. Those would all be cupcakes and serve the purpose.

I don't believe that Wingate would be a cupcake, but the others probably would be. Brevard I believe is D3 now; the others are lower level D2's

Men host D2 Erskine on Tuesday December 12. Well at least they are NCAA D2. They havent won a game since Feb 11 2022 and are currently riding a 32 game losing streak. That includes our win over them last year 110-62.

At Queens in Charlotte, Wednesday November 29. This really should be an alternating game yearly, too much sense to play yearly.
