As far as challenging nonconference schedules go, Bemidji's schedule (Duluth, UND, Arizona St., St. Cloud) is maybe surpassed only by Mankato's aggressive nonconference schedule (UMass, St. Cloud, Duluth, Arizona St, plus its Ice Breaker games against Providence and either Michigan or Duluth). Hats off to the Beavers and Mavs for some ballsy scheduling.
