MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Greek Tragedy]

My apologies if I offended you and the System teams. I've seen both Grinnell and Greenville several times and I enjoy watching them. Yes, I remember the Augie game and the surprise in the 1st half. Obviously, Augie was able to adjust. There isn't a lot of value, if any, scheduling a System team. In some eyes, it doesn't help the team improve on their fundamentals. Yes, it would be nice to have a game against a System team under their belt if they end up meeting in the postseason, but those are very rare occasions. I think in a league like the WIAC or the like, scheduling a System team does little in terms of SOS, quality wins, regional rankings etc. I enjoy watching them and if Grinnell/Greenville travels nearby, I try to see them. I saw Greenville when they played Lakeland in Sheboygan 2 years ago and went down to Waukesha when they played Carroll U. last year.

6'2" Unity G/F, Jaxon Tilton, has committed to play collegiate basketball at Stout.

Former Hudson and St Cloud St PG, Andre Renta, will transfer and play hoops at Eau Claire.  I'm very surprised Renta won't be a River Falls Falcon next season.

Initial release of the UW Oshkosh schedule is out.


Non cons at Saint John's, at  Heidelberg Tournament x2, vs Carroll, at North Park, vs Edgewood, at Ripon, vs Calvin, at St. Norbert, vs Keene St, vs Hamline.

Still planning to play holiday tournament at the Arena for now. Maybe Kolf is a backup if things really go south for the Arena.

UW-La Crosse will complete the field at UW-Oshkosh Arena Tournament playing Hamline and Keene St.

Also, Oshkosh creates the BSC connection with J Morgan Harter as the Oshkosh second assistant this year.

3 WIAC teams in the Top 8.

3. Point
6. Whitewater
8. Platteville

Oshkosh at #27.

Point didn't go exclusively D3 until the late 90s (1997ish?) and really haven't been relevant for 7 years or so. Has Whitewater, Platteville and Oshkosh always been D3?

[The Dean]

Whitewater went D3 earlier than UWSP and UWEC and won a couple D3 national championships. Eau Claire and Point were loaded in those years and still playing in the NAIA.  Those were Anderson and Bennett teams.  Safe to say if the Anderson and Bennett teams were playing in D3 there'd be a whole lot of national championship banners in those two field houses.  Even the great UWSP Coach Parker Jon Julius/Jack Lothian team was still playing in the NAIA in the early 90's. One has to believe they would have won the D3 championship also.

UWO made the change in '91 but took a few years to get an invite to the D3 tournament.

Crazy to see the dominance in the WIAC when some of the other teams got a 15-20 year head start.

That's a real tough schedule for the Eagles. Really, no cupcakes here.

[PauldingLightUP]

Initial release of UW-Stout schedule is here. Noncons at UW-Superior Tournament(x2), vs Hamline, vs Illinois Wesleyan, at Concordia (Minn), at Macalester, vs St. Mary's, vs North Central (Minn), at Northland.

Still room for two more and if I had to guess that would be a holiday tournament somewhere.

Also, their women's schedule is out which confirms no doubleheaders. Women/men at opposite sites.

And interesting Stout begins and ends conference schedule with Oshkosh. Don't see that too often over the years with WIAC schedule makers.

https://stoutbluedevils.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/2024-25

Stout schedule now updated with tournament opponents. Blue Devils will play St. Olaf and Marian in Superior to start the year.

Then, they'll go to the UW-River Falls tournament just before the new year to play UW-Superior and St. Scholastica.
