I think Mankato is ranked too high but I'm willing to be proven wrong. I think Cal Poly Pomona should be one of the favorites for the title this year. They return nearly everyone, if they can figure out how to score more, watch out. I guess GVSU is #1 until someone beats them, they have a lot to prove if they want to 3peat.

Well we have games starting Friday morning....so will find out pretty quick. Minn State vs. Grand Valley was the dream matchup I wanted to see last year, until Minn State crashed and burned with a ton of injuries throughout the season.
I actually think Central Missouri has a shot at Grand Valley. Great coach and Grand Valley has a ton of new players. Ten true or redshirt freshman. That's a lot!

MSU could not rebound well against the very tall GV team, losing 101 to 65. Two freshmen led the scoring for the Mavs, who played much better in the second half. Hopefully better results in the remaining two games of the tournament. Definitely miss one of the starters from last year that is out with an injury.

And to beat GV you have to be able to hit 3's.Originally posted by ucmjennies View PostThe Jennies are hanging in there against GVSU. If they could hit a few 3's, they could get the upset but 0-12 isn't going to do it.
Central played them better than Minnesota State, but GV just too long, too athletic, too deep. They will be even better next season, which is scary given how they already look this season.

Looks like GVSU is rolling again, off to a 26-9 lead after 1Q against Truman. The question is who will be the one team on the Laker's schedule that they struggle with. Last season it was Wayne State, who played two 1 point games (1win and 1 loss) with the Laker's before GVSU rolled by 20 in the regional. The WSU loss was the Laker's only loss of the season. Two season's ago it was Parkside, who GVSU rolled the first meeting, before losing the 2nd meeting. It is interesting to see GVSU has to "rivalry" games back on the schedule in 2026-2027. Ashland is back on the schedule after a scheduling mess last year removed the game. GVSU is also playing at Ohio State again this season. They played two games in 23-24 and 24-25 before taking a year off last season. Playing a Top 20 D1 team is a challenge to keep the Laker's grounded going into the meat of conference play.

Well Northern was ranked pre-season second in the GLIAC and wasn't even competitive with Central Missouri.
I think the only GLIAC team that maybe has a chance against them is Parkside at Parkside. As a whole the GLIAC is down this year in women's bball however.
