Non-conference scheduling for 2015-16 season

I've done a quick search on Google and haven't found any tournaments or non-conference games EWU will be playing next year. Has anyone seen anything about opponents? I think coach needs to schedule a tough non-conference slate next year. It'd be great to see the Eagles not have to rely on winning the conference tournament to get in the NCAA tourney, and next year's team should be much better than this year's squad. Imagine EWU being an established mid-major.

I haven't seen the full slate, I know as late as January Coach was still looking for one more non-con opponent to complete the schedule.

Unfortunately there is not much of a chance to build a tourney bid resume outside of winning the conference tourney because the Big Sky is just too weak overall. The conference is going to need someone to start making the tourney regularly and winning games in it to start the tide of change.
 
Schedules are not usually finalized until sometime in the summer. I would be shocked if we saw anything sooner than the start of football season.
My hope is that we get the call to do either the preseason NIT or something cool like the Maui Invite or Alaskan Shootout, but we will see. I have high hope for next year...only small issue is we are not going to sneak up on anyone anymore.
After watching the teams in Seattle I KNOW we can play at that level. The only thing that is missing is some bulking up...a lot of those teams WERE HUGE (Louisville in particular) and the refs allow for a lot more physical play than they do during the regular season. We are a very finess team and need some more toughness/beasts.
