It looks like SDSU will be traveling to play UWM at the cell on Dec. 1st.
Since this game can not be counted toward our RPI, since the jackrabbits are in the last year of a 5 year probationary period, does this mean that UWM will not be playing a D II team this year?
Jackrabbits' basketball schedule taking shape

So far, only six to be played at Frost Arena
New York City, here come the Jackrabbits.
South Dakota State released a solid chunk of its men's basketball schedule on Wednesday, which as expected includes a lot of games on the road.
But some of those trips will offer SDSU a chance to test itself against some of the best that Division I has to offer, including a game against NCAA Tournament qualifier Manhattan on Nov. 27.
"We knew this would be the toughest year in terms of scheduling," said Jacks coach Scott Nagy. "We're a non-counter for Division I schools, and a lot of Division II teams don't want to play us if they don't have to."
Of the 19 games released so far for the 2004-05 season, only six will be played in Brookings. They are all against lesser-division opponents.
However, the Jacks will travel to such mid-major powers as Butler in Indianapolis, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and San Diego State. And, of course, Manhattan.
Nagy also said one game not yet on the schedule is against Illinois-Chicago, which also earned a spot in the NCAA's field of 65 last March.
