Double NO

Triple NO.

Oh please, on the day of their ring presentations at night, I'm sure that they will spend the afternoon getting sized for their 2021-2022 championship rings. As well they should. Just because 2 other teams in the region may be better than most of the rest of the country doesn't mean squat. NW is playing chess, while the rest of us are playing checkers. And some of us, my club included. are playing tiddly-winks.

I'd probably feel that way too if Hawkins was back. I think without him in the fold they are still the favorite but not a "no doubt, size up their 21-22 championship rings" favorite.

Absolutely they can. The national championship game was in Wachs Arena last year. Washburn and NSU were way better opponents than anything seen at the Elite 8.

No

Friendly reminder that basketball season officially opened yesterday. Maybe the NSIC will be as ridiculous on the basketball side as it has been on the football side this year.

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.

By GAAWWWDDD that's the NCC's music!!!!

That was going to be my question- how many transfers? :)

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.

When Augie won the NC in 2016 they had zero transfers on the roster. I would be really surprised to see that happen again in the future.

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.

Perhaps this is the right time to point out that in NSIC double headers at the Pentagon the Augie men will play first and the women second. Sources have yet to confirm if Adam requested this change.

Hankering for the Regional tourney experience. Host team plays the everybody leaves.

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

Yes- back when they were playing ping- pong with NDSU to see who the national champs would be in D2 women's basketball- and they still hated it!
