More interesting scheduling tidbits.....
Webster and Fontbonne play in early December.... a game that will surely show both programs where they stand this year (does Webster have enough returning, will Fontbonne newbies be able to provide support right away) Then they go all the way to the final day of the season at February end, with the conference tourney looming two days away, before they play again... I'm hoping that later matchup will be looked at with as much anticipation as the early one....
AND uhh what were they thinking? Blackburn opens its season at the Lee Pfund Classic at Wheaton... The other two schools are Wittenberg and UW-River Falls... I would be excited if one of the top two or three SLIAC teams was taking part.. to see if we could be competitive against these top notch programs... but to have BC served up to them seems to serve no positive purpose....These games are a tough way to start the season.
