Just went through all of the schedules, wondering what they looked like. Tough non-conference schedules from Oshkosh and Point. Should be a great test for the league early. Most disappointed in River Falls and Eau Claire, especially because I think the Falcons should be among the league's elite. Maybe last years early season record kept them away from difficult scheduling.

Better to go .500 in non-conference against good competition or +.750 against bad?

Point also plays St. Olaf and St. Thomas. The former is a NCAA tourney team the last two years and the latter a regular in the postseason. Incidentally, both beat Point last year.

UWSP travels up to Houghton, MI to scrimmage Michigan Tech next Friday.  Also scrimmages against UM-Duluth in Stevens Point on the 30th, not sure on a time for that...normally been early afternoon.

Eau Claire opens with St Thomas and St Olaf is in Eau Claires winter tournament. Don't know what your disappointed with.

[Greek Tragedy]

Eau Claire's schedule shows a single game vs St. Thomas while St. Olaf's schedule doesn't  have any games vs Eau Claire listed. So unless something changed, you're half right.     

[aero75]

The St. Olaf schedule shows TBA games location Eau Claire WI on Dec 29th and Dec 30th (i.e. the Eau Claire tournament).
I believe that is what I said, but maybe you read it differently.

[Greek Tragedy]

I was on the mobile site and it just said TBA. My apologies.

The coaching changes are great for the guards, I wonder who will be working with the posts.  As far back as I can remember they have always had at least 1 big as a graduate assistant.

Well at least we're pretty high in the "others" category.
