FYI: Coach Cross has now been removed from the UST website, just to confirm that job is in fact open.

Thanks, Jek.

I went back to their website - still no actual mention of the change - and may have to take back what I said about no seniors.   They recognized three women at senior night back in February, all of whom are listed as juniors on the roster.   Each has a year of covid eligibility remaining so could return next season, giving the new coach even more to work with.

Southwestern announced the hiring of Caitlin Kriesel-Bigler, a native of Austin, Texas (Anderson), who played at Hendrix and has had several short assistant coaching stints, most recently last season at Randolph-Macon.

I feel so old. I remember watching her play for Hendrix.

Trinity schedule is out.

And wow did they work hard with that NonConference schedule!

After last year's 0.522 SOS, I think they will be in the 0.550-0.570 range this year.

Great job by them controlling what they can control.

Trinity(TX)?  Not seeing it ...

Huh, I am not either. Maybe they pulled it back.

These were the NonConf:

East Texas Baptist
Willamette
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps
Hardin-Simmons
Ohio Northern
Cal Lutheran
Mary Hardin-Baylor
Puget Sound
Framingham St.

I think you are right.  I *do* remember seeing a home schedule on IG that's nowhere to be seen today, either.

I can verify that...saw the schedule a little while after it was posted on the site. There is at least one other well-known D3 program that has done the same thing this offseason. Hopefully it goes back up soon. The positive is that Trinity is likely going to have a really solid SOS despite SCAC play pulling that number down a bit.

The schedule has been reposted and the above are still true.   The team travels to Marshall for the first two games, home for the next two, then to Abilene for HSU.  After a couple of weekends of away/home SCAC play the team heads to UPS the weekend before Christmas, then to Las Vegas the following weekend for the D3hoops Classic. 

While there is a 2023-24 roster, the incoming class has not [yet] been added to it.   The same is true for the TU men.

I could have sworn I saw an IG or Xitter post yesterday saying "5 more days" from the men's side of the house, but can't find it today.  Hopefully that's just bad search technique on my part and we'll see rosters Monday. 

Edit:  It was an IG story, and there was another one today saying "4 more days".

The TU men's roster has been updated.  The women, not yet.

Putting down a marker - keep an eye on Jamie Ruede, an incoming Trinity freshman.  Smart kid, coach's daughter, and lit things up from 3' beyond the high school arc her senior year.

Found it interesting that, now that the WBKB roster has been posted, only two freshmen and one sophomore transfer so they're going into the season with only 14 players. That's a surprisingly small class, to me, especially given how much Coach Hill has to replace from last year. I have no doubts that the squad they've got will still be very good, but I would have imagined they'd bring in more players to offset some of the losses like Milton and Shipley, etc.

Agree.  I'll vouch for Jamie Ruede, however, from just up I-10 from San Antonio.  She's deadly from 3-point land and has been shooting from 3 feet behind the high school arc for some time now.  Looking to see how she fits in.

Happy first day of SCAC hoops to those who celebrate!

I'm going to be very curious to see Austin College's squad tonight against Lyon, given more than half the roster is comprised of newcomers.
