But let's not stretch it. St. John's does not have a solid start and they're not a sleeper team. They're awful, and you really shouldn't even mention them if you want to argue that Duke's non conference schedule is good.
And UNCA, Charleston, and Evansville are dominant in their conferences? Since when? Besides, Duke still schedules these same types of teams - Montana, Rhode Island, and... UNCA.
