Common Opponents

[rwhit34]

Does anyone else find it interesting that there are more common opponents than usual on our non-conference schedule?

Examples:
Providence-Merrimack
Bradley-Norfolk St
Radford-Bradley

Is this coincidence or by design?

The last 2 are design. These tournaments like Ft. Meyers have 2 on-campus games, with Radford and Norfolk State as part of one half of the bracket. Pitt and Kansas State play Monmouth and Arkansas Pine Bluff at home on the other side.
