OPENING NIGHT 11/9 NOTES--Staring At The Floorboards

MILWAUKEE @ NORTH DAKOTA

Pat Baldwin should absolutely eat here, as UND’s wing corps lost the only two guys who could possibly check him in Sims and Ihenacho. Sather’s D figures to struggle mightily across the board, and facing an extremely long team (shortest starter could be 6’4) with a potential lottery pick will expose that quickly.

INDIANA STATE @ GREEN BAY

The Trees are an intriguing team, as Josh Schertz will attempt to install a super uptempo, pace and space offense in the country’s biggest grinder conference, the Mo Valley. Schertz brought a slew of versatile, grab and go wings with him from Lincoln Memorial to form a rim attacking, drag screen kick out offense around dynamic guard Tyreke Key. Unfortunately, he’ll be facing a team in Green Bay that’s looking to slow the game to a crawl and work a methodical, swing based halfcourt offense. The good news for ISU is that Will Ryan’s squad allowed the 64th highest transition rate last year, an area I’m sure he’s looking to shore given his coaching pedigree. Really wonky game with mostly new rosters on both sides and contrasting styles. It should also be noted ISU is already battling a slew of injuries.
