Izzo needs to change his scheduling philosophy for the non conference, he likes scheduling many challenging games like Duke, Arizona, and Baylor all before conference play starts. Thats all fine because your SOS matters to the committee but you also have to win those games to improve your NET ranking. That helps improve your seeding so you avoid playing the 1 or 2 seed in the Round of 32.
