Is it possibly a bit of rebuilding year for both Augie and NSU?

Everyone knows what the entire starting lineup can do; win 60ish % of their games, have an offense that stalls out for stretches because they don't have anyone who can beat their man off the dribble, and lose in absolutely maddening fashion in the conference tourney. If either of the Brits or Bennett Otto can help breathe some life into the offense without being total catastrophes on defense this extremely old team could be a threat to the Moorhead team they swept last year.
So happy it’s back (not to normal yet) with fans. :)

Augustana depth will likely be the question. The starting 5 will be good. Can Augie find a few players off bench to come in and really contribute? At least we won’t have to watch Schaefer flop every other time down the floor. We will, however, still get to watch such flopping antics with a bunch of UMD players.

Will 7:30 starts be too late?? What about back to back games? Will Adam Dykman sign a NIL deal with Super Polygrip? Sounds like a new thread...

it’s weird and can’t be a good experience. Please don’t cancel me...

I can’t recall if it was the whole conference or just MSU that flip-flopped the games a number of years ago, but it lasted that one year only (and maybe not even the whole season, memory is a bit fuzzy).

I remember an experiment from many years ago when the UND men played first at Otto Arena. Huge crowd. Then it emptied out for the women's game. I talked to the UND about it. They hated it. If they had a close game the crowd would keep growing when they played first. When they played second it was depressing to see most people leave.

It made a little bit of sense when UND was a nationally relevant women's program in D2 and the men were middling.

Lo Biondo left to play overseas somewhere (at least that's what I remember reading a few months back). The WSU team will have some talent but they are going to play small ball all year or they are going to play some young guys up front. There is only one upperclassman who is above 6'4 on the whole roster. Barring a late transfer, that's a small, young team up front.

Not sure if everyone is a transfer at some point but it will be the exception to the rule of a team doesn't have a transfer moving forward. Wonder how that will impact Mankato in short term since they've relied heavily on the transfer market. Now everyone is competing in there.

Not much has been said on here about it, most of the talk was about the men playing the early game and the women the late for the first part of the year, but how about the Thursday night games experiment. First week of the season is Thursday/Saturday, and then the last week once again is Thursday/Saturday. Interested to see how that works out.
