       Rutgers game is December 22.
       I was critical of their infographic at first – what's home and
       what's away? – but it turns out all 13 games are at home.

       Norfolk was horrible last season at 5-13 outside conference
       play, which included many blowouts!  I wouldn't be very excited
       about this pickup.

       Correction: They were 12-4 in the MEAC, got the 2 seed in the
       conference tournament and lost in the title game to NC Central.
       They were 5-13 on the road.
       It's arguably the best program in arguably the worst conference
       in the country. But this will be a good test and hopefully a
       nice win to close out non-conference play.

       And playing good teams from bad conferences is good way to boost
       RPI

       As a member of a one-bid league, RPI is irrelevant.

       Not true. RPI is relevant for getting anything but a 15 or 16
       seed in the tournament, which is an automatic loss.

       It is good to mix it up  with teams  we haven't played from
       other conferences .  So far our home OOC is Hofstra, Brown , St
       Francis Pa and now Norfolk St. Good mix with maybe 1 or 2 more
       teams for the home slate . I guess we will play our usual D3
       program earlier than our opener against Maryland on 11/11.
