WashU at Brandeis or Chicago is definitely a toss up...and i think WashU would be underdogs on the road. At home, i don't see the Bears losing (they didn't lose a home game all of last year), but you have to give the other UAA teams credit, especially on their home turf.

Ohio Northern went 19-7 last year and is returning 4 starters. Their point guard position was apparently up in the air this year, and Sean Wallis should be able to take advantage of that. Kyle Gehle is a real 3 point threat on the wing and could be a concern for the Bears if he gets hot early.

As for Calvin, they won their last 9 of 11 games, including a win at Aurora in the first round of the tourny. They went with a 3 guard lineup for the 2nd half of the 2006-2007 season and all 3 guards return. However, their front court may be weak as starting post players Eric DeVries and Josh Meckes have graduated as has key reserve Kyle Snoeyink. If the Bears play Calvin, I would expect a big game out of Troy Ruths. It would be shocking if Calvin could find a way to stop his D1 style inside game.
