I think with any schedule its a give and take. You certainly don't want to play an OOC like ND's where your a gigantic favorite every week but I also think there's something to be said for not forcing your team to run the gauntlet every week. I mean were 4 games into the year and we probably had the one and only game we could actually empty the bench out a bit and give some of these other guys some PT.  Hard to get mad at guys for transferring when they see the field once a year.  I think Duke and UNC probably over-schedule weaker teams in general especially this year but with no B10 or IVY opponents they lost out on games they probably would have scheduled and Duke always schedules a bunch of generally lesser type teams more so then SU and usually ND. Duke's 2019 schedule had Penn, Denver, Furman, High Point, Richmond, Jax, Loyola, Towson and Utah. Now they play way more OOC games then we do usually but that's definitely a solid mix of cupcakes, mid tier and then Top 10 teams so I can't get on them to much for this year.

As for the ducking thing I think that's a lot of social media talk from people who hope SU gets beat. I mean look Duke is off this weekend why don't they play Lehigh?  I understand it makes sense and people would love to see a great game but SU can't make scheduling decisions based on something going viral on social media or because Quint and the crew at College Crosse thing it will be the game of the week.

I do agree on Hofstra, solid team with an excellent player in Tierney and one that could certainly have given us a lot of trouble. I hope we re-schedule that game.
