It's pretty close. However OTIS will be down along with Ohio State. UCLA is mediocre but it's on the road. Puke and Choke Hawk will be tough. UK has some decent mid majors so I think UK's is tougher.
CSULB always schedules this way. Certainly playing tougher competition will pay dividends in the long term but most of these games will end up losses. If they can squeak out a win or two, strength of schedule could get them into the tournament come March in case they don't win the Big West Tournament. Big West doesn't often get multiple teams in the dance.
