so your saying moving our bleachers to the parking lot didn't help with recuriting or the fan experience  :)

I am not sure that you could compare the two projects.  South Dakota State University (SDSU) spent $50 million on the renovation of Frost Arena. This extensive remodel was supported by a significant donation from First Bank & Trust, which contributed $20 million.

Is there anything specific you'd like to know about the renovations?

I think the 3-5 range is probably our sweet spot. NDSU will be good. SDSU looks like they’re reloading. KC brings back a lot. UST is always going to be tough with Tauer coaching. Oral Bob has probably the best guard in the conference. 

How do you see the rotation playing out?

1 - Reggie Thomas

2 - Eli King

3 - Trey

4 - Woodson

5 - Amar

Mara, Panoam, Mayar and Mathews off the bench. Could see King shifting to the 6th man roll too.

Looks good, although I think Eli remains a starter all season.  Good starting 5; the question will be what we end up getting from our bench.

How did we get Alabama to come to the Betty? That's a big deal. 

Same way we got Kansas to the Ralph.  Letting a local kid play in his home state.  The article back when it was announced said UND called Bama to gauge their interest and they said yes.

Hopefully Mara can be that 3 & D energy guy off the bench!

Oh, thanks, I wasn't familiar with that story.

What were we last year typically?

I don’t remember for sure but I think during the win streak we were in the 220s? Maybe a touch higher? I know at one point early, we were back in the 300s. Finished at 236.

Umkc should be good with what they return. I think ndsu could be really good. Richman finally buying into portal. Federson and Moni are going to be a really nice duo. Hearing sdsu really likes what they brought in and the big guy from Washington State looks like the player of the year. Everyone else seems like a toss up other than I think Denver and Omaha will be bad

Hate to say it but I agree, NDSU is going to be really really good. SDSU will be fine too, maybe not quite as dominant but top 3.

Is there a scrimmage against uni tomorrow? What time and is it open to the public?

I believe it’s on Sunday in Minneapolis. These are closed to the public and media

I’m feeling quite optimistic about this year. Leagues pretty open. Although we don’t have the high end talent players, Omot and Ihenacho, I think we have better depth and maybe players that are willing to buy more into how Sather wants his teams. 

Hopefully someone can get some info on how they fare today against UNI. That will be a good barometer, at least to start.

According to UNI forum one poster stated that it was 89-67 UNI... another poster stated he was wrong and that UNI won by 8.
