I got bashed for daring to suggest our non-conference schedule was weak and now I'm joined by Charlie, who I never agree with.  Strange.  Some of my concern had to do with the prep leading up to the South Carolina game.

But here is where I think we are all in agreement.  The non-conference allows Tara to try out different player combinations (as many of you have already suggested) and give our freshmen and others valuable playing time.  I would not be surprised if we see significant minutes from our freshmen when we play the exhibition game against Vanguard, Pacific, Cal Poly and at least one of the games in the Hawaii Tourney.  I personally can't wait to see Betts take the floor for the first time.

By Conference time (perhaps even earlier), we should be a well-oiled machine with a strong starting lineup and solid rotations.  I have every confidence in the world we'll be rolling.
