Non-conference SOS is 96 according to Pomeroy, which is fairly good when compared to other top 25 squads. Gtown is 147, Duke 107, pitt 173, uconn 175, arizona st. 183, louisville 194, purdue 257, etc. The only two ranked teams with a better non-conference SOS is Xavier and Tennessee.
They lost not because of their schedule, but because they couldn't shoot FTs today and the BC backcourt took the UNC backcourt to school the entire game. Tyrese Rice, Rakim Sanders, and Reggie Jackson made Tywon Lawson look like a JV player and clearly outplayed Wayne Ellington. Tywon Lawson wishes he could have had even half the game that any single one of the BC trio had that I previously mentioned. Also, the UNC bench did very little - Reggie Jackson by himself equaled the total number of UNC bench points.
