My guess: 1 Chisom 2 A.J. 3 Umude 3 Fuller 4 Goodrick That would be a small lineup, but all but Goodrick can create their own shot and/or get to the rim. I'm nervous about how many minutes Stan will be called on to play - especially when you consider he already played over 30 last year. Good points. I remember Lee talking about how he wanted to get Stan more into a guard position, but in year 1 he (and TBM) were forced to play posts. Now without Hags in the post, I hope our bigs can hold down those post positions well enough to let Stan do his thing. Playing small ball can work, but I think Lee prefers to always have some length in the paint. Lee also tends to play the sh!t out of his experienced players, especially guards. I think he has trust issues with younger players. As to PG, I'd be surprised if Chisom plays much 1. He turns it over too much. LY he had 26 assists to 31 turnovers for an A/TO of 0.84..... not great. He is a slasher and a shutdown defender. Looking at our guards with high A/TO numbers from the last year they played: name | Asst | TO | A/TO | A.J. Plitz. | 104 | 53 | 1.96 | D.J. Dial | 148 | 82 | 1.80 | Kruz P-H | 24 | 14 | 1.71 |
I realize this is an unfair comparison, with AJ at the D-II level, DJ at the JUCO level, and Kruz as a backup. but A/TO is a normalized stat that eliminates play time bias. All three guys could fairly be described as good PG prospects, at least in this one stat that approximates ball control/handling. I wonder which one of them is the best floor general, or defender? Good point. To make this small lineup work, I think there would have to be a focus on 4 guys handling the ball, not just relying on Tristan to always make sure everyone is in the right place - maybe more like what Coach P has implemented. Not sure that is feasible though.

If we get good post play from Tasos, Goodrick and Heiman, I think Lee will be able to run the offense he wants to. Maybe Zizic will surprise us, too.
Another question: who are our best shooters? We will have a hard time competing in the Summit without a few of those. We would have won a lot of games over the last two years if the shooting efficiency was even just a little better.

3PT efficiency in the last season they played basketball (min 10 attempts): name | 3PT attempts | 3PT % | where | Mason Arch. | 155 | .458 | JUCO | Xavier Fuller | 131 | .389 | JUCO | A.J. Plitzuweit | 111 | .351 | D-II | Kanon Koster | 93 | .355 | D-II | Stanley Umude | 108 | .333 | USD | Hunter Goodrick | 13 | .308 | USD | D.J. Dial | 72 | .292 | JUCO | Kruz Perrott-Hunt | 22 | .182 | USD |
So it looks like Dial and Perrott-Hunt aren't arc-shooting Point Guards. Fuller and Archambault may see the floor as decent shooters, assuming the rest of their game is solid. *note: Chisom only shot 5 arc shots last year, .... but he made two of them for 40%..... *edit: I should have put Koster above Plitzuweit. Oh, well.

Archambault is plenty solid. He's going to play a lot.

This point guard conversation is interesting. We have plenty of depth at shooting guard, but need a floor general. IIRC Mason A has a reputation for being a good all around ball handler and passer, but he doesn't have experience with Lee's system. Perhaps AJ or Kruz until he gets up to speed?

It ain't football. He's going to be up to speed in a hurry and somebody who you are going to wish you would have had for four years instead of two. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SOYS4Qb7NQ

Oral Roberts has released their non-conference schedule, via Twitter graphic and it's also on their website. I don't see it on any other Summit League team websites, nor the conference website.

From NCAA.com
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, NCAA.com correspondent Andy Katz reported that the Division I men's college basketball season will begin Wednesday, Nov. 25. Here's what we know from Katz:
Practice can begin on Wednesday, Oct. 14. Teams will not be able to play more than 27 regular season games. That is a four-game decrease from 2019. Programs must also play a minimum of 13 regular season games. There will not be any exhibitions or scrimmages played. The Division I Council recommended a minimum of four non-conference games. We expect to know more details on this as well as information on the start of the DI women's basketball season later today.

This is an interesting set up but this has been an interesting year so props to the league for making something happen. I am curious how they decided which schools host, especially for the Dakota schools and the rivalries ... also I know this is the men’s thread but one would assume that the women’s would be the opposite then?

Rumor is that women's schedule is identical and they will play men-women DH's

Nice work, Yote18 GoYotes! I have no idea where this guy is getting his scoops. Not released. Hard to see all the details, so here's a summary of the Yotes' sched: (hopefully It's accurate, image is blurry....) day | date | opp | sat | Jan 2 | DU | sun | Jan 3 | DU | fri | Jan 8 | @umkc | sat | Jan 9 | @umkc | fri | Jan 15 | BYE | sat | Jan 16 | BYE | fri | Jan 22 | @wiu | sat | Jan 23 | @wiu | fri | Jan 29 | UNO | sat | Jan 30 | UNO | fri | Feb 5 | @sdsu | sat | Feb 6 | @sdsu | fri | Feb 12 | @und | sat | Feb 13 | @und | fri | Feb 19 | ORU | sat | Feb 20 | ORU | fri | Feb 26 | NDSU | sat | Feb 27 | NDSU |
edit: it was GoYotes that brought the tweet to the thread, oops.

It's just too easy to flip sites for men and women at these schools and it hits the pocketbook hard when all athletic departments are struggling to make ends meet.

It's just too easy to flip sites for men and women at these schools and it hits the pocketbook hard when all athletic departments are struggling to make ends meet. Agree. It will depend on the model they will use for fans, of course, but I could see them doing something along the lines of ensuring a 50/50 shot at seats for fans. Maybe a sharing of ticket sales, too. That doesn't address the competitive advantage, but somethings got to give. If the Summit just makes an exception for the Dakota 4, that just plays into the idea that everything in the conference is Dakota-centric. If you had profit-sharing and 50% of available seats open for the road team, that would be fair for all teams involved. You still would see plenty of road teams in the Summit that fail to bring any fans, but at least you should offer that up front, I think. Unsold seats reserved for the road team would come back to the home team (and any potential money for selling them).
