Who's up for some hoops talk in August? I'm eager for the upcoming season to get underway, 2 months from tomorrow and the Wisconsin Dells Tourney starts. There will be some good matchups taking place there. It seems like a lot of the top tier talent graduated/transferred so I would expect to see some of the top teams of the past few years take a step back (GVSU, Mankato State, TWU, IUP)
I have my eyes on Bentley, Cal Poly Pomona, and Pitt State this season. Those 3 teams return a lot of experience but they will need to work on their offense (less so for Pitt State) if they want to be successful. UW-Parkside returns 4 starters and should hopefully take step up in the GLIAC. Central Missouri loses their do it all player in Reese Schaaf who will be impossible to replace, Mankato loses 7 seniors and D2 Honda Athlete of the Year, Natalie Bremer. I'm excited to see what coach Thiese does with a new squad. What team/teams do you think will compete in 26-27?
