Pretty solid.

Cool to see St. Thomas making a trip up.

They are also playing at Kalamazoo - who now has a schedule posted:

https://hornets.kzoo.edu/sports/mbball/schedule

Crazy wide mix of opponents for the Hornets.  Using last seasons NPI (Kazoo was #381 last season):

- 0-100 - St Thomas #3. Chicago #5, Loras #61, and Case Western #95
- 100-200 - Wabash #119
- 200-300 - Capital #235
- 300-404 - Bluffton #305, Messiah #363, Manchester #369, Earlham #390, and Dominican #398

Their last 2 non-con games are those top two - St Thomas & Chicago

Still waiting on Ablion, but here is some eval of non-con opponents (for known games) thus far:


                 
Team   MIAA PY NPI  Known D3 Games  Opp PY W/L    Opp PY NCAA Tourn    Average of PY NPI    PY NPI Top 50  Opp w better NPI 
Adrian   333110.4932194 0 9
Albion   194000 0
Alma   34190.4082231 1 6
Calvin   9190.4541185 2 2
Hope   78110.6364108 5 6
Kalamazoo   381110.463213 2 9
Olivet   127110.6134122 2 7
Trine   82100.704368 4 6


Feels like Hope might have hit a sweet spot - roughly 1/2 of your non-cons were "better" than you last season, and half "worse" - could be the same for Trine and Alma depending on their TBD opponents

Full non-con schedule eval for known games. FYI two of Albions games will not "count" for NPI - Purdue Ft Wayne (D1) and St Francis (reclassifying to D3 year 1).
