Gavin Markgraff led the team in scoring in the first game, but not the second. 

I don't know a ton about him other than he is a 6-4 wing and was a very good HS player.  Sounds like he one of the guys battling for a varsity rotation role at G/F.

Thanks for the correction.

I love a good player emerging unexpectedly (or a bit unexpectedly) story.

A TITAN Q FAVORITE RETURNS

North Central is pleased to announce that a former member of the team (and undoubtedly a fav Titan Q non-IWU player  ) will return next season. Tommy Koth will become the NCC Men's Basketball Graduate Assistant Coach for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. With the propensity to play his best in clutch situations, combined with the smarts that resulted in his being named to the NABC Honors Court twice, Tommy is uniquely qualified to assume the position. 🏀 ⛹🏻‍♂️

NCC RECRUIT

"The first chance to see SIU will be an exhibition game against Minnesota State on October 22, and the regular season opener is November 5 against Illinois Wesleyan."

Can it be a real game for SIU and and exhibition for IWU? I forget how that works.

Yes, in my recording of schedules, I see it several times each year.. and those are just the ones I catch.. always seems to be in that direction too.. I've never seen a real game for D3, exhibition for D1 or D2... however, I don't know the specific rule/allowance....

It happens all the time. Both times that North Park has played Valparaiso in this decade it was an exhibition game for NPU and a regular-season game for Valpo.
