With this upcoming weekend signaling the start of the basketball season for most teams in the region, I thought I'd start a thread to discuss all of the regional games. The teams will no doubt change a lot throughout the season, but this weekend will provide a glimpse into the region this year with a lot of big games. The NSIC has a lot to prove after a poor postseason performance last year, and will have a tall task this weekend. Northern and Duluth take on the top GAC teams in SE Oklahoma and Southern Nazarene in Oklahoma City. Mankato and Winona get two powerhouse MIAA teams in Missouri Southern and Washburn in Kansas City. Moorhead and Crookston get a chance at the region's (nation's?) 1,000 pound gorilla in Northwest and also get Sunny's bunch in St. Joe's. Augie and SMSU head to Missouri as well. And there are several other regional contests.
Honestly, I don't know quite what to expect from the Wolves this weekend. I think they will be good, but they are playing 2 very good teams. If they get one win it will be a successful weekend. If the conference as a whole goes .500 this weekend that would be a good thing. There are a lot of good games this weekend and I look forward to seeing how the teams stack up.
