*Game 1, Bemidji State*

Lets roll. Put the hammer down and leave no doubt, lets get this season started right.

Any updates on Ty and Phyfe?

[BCPanther]

Ty is being held out for precaution, would probably play if it were a DI opponent and he is good to go for Saturday.

Phyfe has returned to some basketball activity but not ready to go yet.

So excited for this season to get rolling. It's so hard to keep the level of expectation I have to reasonable level. Here's to hoping we blow everyone away this year!

Joe Kane: Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner!

I'm 100% okay with that. The phrase "re-aggravated injury during exhibition" hurts my soul, no matter who the team is. Use the UT-A game to get back into the swing of things, get ready for the tournament.

Well that's going to be repeated 5+ times during the broadcast.

Of greater concern to me is a repeat of Wyatt from two years ago. No need to rush him back too soon. Get him healthy and get whatever we can get in the non-conference but a full conference effort out of him. Our non-conference this year doesn't really appear strong enough for an at-large consideration unless we virtually run the table and a lot of things break our way (opponents overperform).

Our non conference is fine. Just need to beat Penn.

Alright, let's everyone calm down and take a deep breath. We were in ninth place last year, and the MVC didn't exactly have a good track record with at-large bids here as of late. I won't get worried about SoS until it's January and we've only lost one game.

[UNIGrainer]

Any idea how quickly ESPN+ archives? I'll be home around 9 tonight.

Phyfe and Pickford are both dressed tonight
