There Is No Theme For Phase 3 Of The Non-Conference Schedule

I miss the days of getting one new non-conference game a day. Now it's July 10th and there's nothing to look forward to for at least a month when the soccer preseason awards are officially announced.

In any case, the last four games of the non-conference schedule have been announced on the official men's basketball Facebook page, bringing the total of regular season games for MU to 31 - 13 non-conference games and 18 Big East games. Let's take a look at the last four non-conference games!
