I know we're technically a few days away from the official start of basketball season, but I figured I'd fire up a new thread for the NSIC conversation since we don't really need the "way too early" thread anymore.
That being said, I think Moorhead123's breakdown of the tiers in the "way too early" thread seemed pretty reasonable to me. I'd love to see Augie climb up into that top tier this year, but there are too many unknowns still to make that prediction today.
Hearing good things about several of the new players, but haven't had a chance to see them myself. Looking forward to those games a month from now to really get an idea of what this season will look like.
I don't see how Duluth and Moorhead wouldn't be considered the favorites this season, with Northern not far behind. The UIU chatter is interesting to me, as everyone keeps saying, "If they can replace Williams and Smoldt..." like those aren't two really difficult guys to replace. The South Division may be down this year. Then again, if Wayne puts the pieces together, we might still have some fire in the South.
Only a few days away from the season starting, which is awesome.
On a side note, we had an exhibition games thread in the past. I'm too lazy to start one of those, but if you know your team has an exhibition game coming up in late-October, early-November, feel free to throw it in here, especially if it's one that will be livestreamed.
