Tech should try to schedule a minimum of 6 elite (an NCAA at-large lock) or good (capable of either winning their conference tournament or getting an NCAA at-large bid) teams in OOC play. The only Tech opponents in the current E$PN Bracketology bracket (along with Tech) are Oklahoma State, St. Mary's, and ULL. Oklahoma is in the Next 4 Out list.
A SWAC team gets in the NCAAs by default, so I don't include any opponent from that conference. St. Bonaventure is not in the good or elite group, and no other team Tech has played to date is any closer to being there than the Bonnies.
