Tulane and Central Michigan are both top-100 RPI schools, so this is some real competition (although, as usual, not at home).

Desperate to see some quality non-con games in Hilton. Several games against 300-level RPI teams doesn't do much to prep the ladies for the conference round robin. Have always wondered the lack of quality games at home in the non-con.

Here's what we know about the schedule (RPI in brackets):
vs. Tulane (Junkanoo Jam) [74]
vs. Central Michigan or San Diego State (Junkanoo Jam) [43/270]
Iowa [64]
@ UNI [52]
@ Drake [26]
@ Vanderbilt (Big 12/SEC Challenge) [115]

I suspect there will be no other non-conference road games (since the above includes five games away from Hilton), and I doubt any of the unknown games will be against any top-100 competition (since there's already plenty of that above).

Updating the above with a few known dates. I did a quick google search to see if any other opponents were out there, but all I found were the UNI and Drake dates.

(RPI in brackets):
11/14 -- @ UNI [52]
11/24 -- vs. Tulane (Junkanoo Jam) [74]
11/25 -- vs. Central Michigan or San Diego State (Junkanoo Jam) [43/270]
11/30 -- @ Drake [26]
TBD -- Iowa [64]
TBD -- @ Vanderbilt (Big 12/SEC Challenge) [115]

I believe the Vanderbilt date is set for December 2nd in Nashville.

Sounds about right. Baylor is playing their SEC challenge game 11/30, and usually these challenges are scheduled so the games are all around the same date.

South Dakota, South Dakota State, and Green Bay would love to play at Hilton. All great RPI teams too. Bill won't play them.

Still going to be better tests this year than last year's single NC game away from Hilton. At least this year the new kids will get some games away from Hilton and not think the Big 12 will all easy homers. We were 3-8 away from Hilton last year and played fewer away games than any other team in the Top 100 rpi.

And we know this how?

Because a few posters on here know about every move/decision our staff makes. They are insiders to the program.

Seems they could be posting the schedule. The men's non-conference is up on Cyclones.com.

I will admit usually moan and complain about our non-conference, but I'm somewhat okay with it this year, at least there is some new teams to play and an SEC team.

Non-Conference schedule up.

[mred]

AT North Carolina Central? Is that correct?

EDIT: it is not correct. The schedule on the website says it's in Ames. Only the pdf schedule says it's away.

You're apparently wrong on at least one count.
