Low teams in high conferences

I have advocated for years that one of the best strategies for teams at our level is to get low-ranked teams from money-conferences to pay us to come play them. This gives us a higher-profile name that we might stand a chance of beating if things fall out right. We have two of those this year. Texas Tech was the last-ranked team in the first-ranked conference. Just exactly what we would like to have. Couldn't have picked a better one. DePaul is an also-ran from the Big East, which is not a money conference because they do not have football, but it is a powerhouse basketball conference that is better than most of the money conferences. Nice scheduling!
