Wardle announces tough schedule for Phoenix men

UW-Green Bay head coach Brian Wardle announced Tuesday a 2011-12 men’s basketball schedule that doesn’t seek the easy way out. “We wanted to upgrade our schedule and I think we have done that with good opponents from some of the best leagues in the country,” he said. “We have our annual games against Marquette and Wisconsin, but we also have non-conference games against Virginia, Duquesne, Idaho, Wyoming and Indiana State that will prepare us for (the Horizon League).” The early lineup includes most of those top-tier foes, on the road, including the Nov. 25 game at Virginia, coached by former Phoenix star Tony Bennett. Two-time NCAA Tournament finalist Butler will visit the Resch on Saturday, Jan. 28. Good schedule. Full details.
