My reasoning for playing either Gonzaga, St. Mary's or Wichita state in Jan. or Feb. is to open up scheduling for another top RPI team in the OOC portion of the schedule. It also would give us a game against good competition during those down stretches in A-10 play (heightened this year because so many A10 teams are down). This game would also benefit either of those 3 teams as well, since they are also in the same predicament we are in...
