It wasn't a blowout, but Southwest had a fairly smooth 9-point win over Mount Marty on Saturday.

What the heck does playing a basketball game on a week night have to do with that?
Woke - is there any dispute the move to have women play second isn't ideologically driven to be "fair" or along gender equity lines? Again, I don't this this is denied or controversial. That's my point. It was and is a solution in search of a problem.

Fans don't want the men playing first. I don't think that is a controversial opinion or take. I think 90% of the fans liked it the way it was.

What is the sample size you used to determine that "90% of the fans liked it the way it was"?
Is there something wrong with being fair "along gender equity lines"?

So anyways...anyone interested in doing pickem this season? We've missed the first game and kind of late to get it for tomorrow but just need to start a thread. We have a functioning computer now (I think) so should be able to keep track again but if someone else would like yo that is fine too.

I do think the change is a bit ironic, especially from the league which moved all its conference tournaments to a city, giving an often unearned advantage to two schools all in the name of money and exposure. While I follow both my teams with equal passion, ticket sales show that men's games most often draw more. Moving them to an earlier time on weeknights doesn't seem wise if the conference really cares bout finances.
Just a thought.

Same thing happened here with Hawaiian Night. Attendance is down, interest in down, fundraising is down, donations are down. Smart folks in administration blame Covid and have zero reality check on this. I know a bunch of folks who are disappointed in things and this is one of them and they have slowed or stopped giving.
So be it. Maybe it isn't so at other schools, but it it true at SMSU - tone deaf. We'll see with the new AD - so far I have been impressed with her.
