Well, I think this will be a telling game.  Not necessarily on the outcome/ margin of victory, but on roster minutes, scheme, seeing some more of the new players, etc.  Love that this will be on the Summit League Network so we can replay it, especially because of the 5:30 start time.

Will need to figure out how to get that.

You don't need a Midco cable subscription.  You can just get a MidcoSports+ subscription.  Sign up right on the website or the App.  $10 per month, and cancel any time.

(That kinda sounded like an advertizement, sorry about that)

It's pretty easy, though.  The only issues I've had is streaming on the app on my iphone.  I don't have any problems streaming from the website on my phone's browser or from the App on my Roku. on my home TVs.

I'd almost call it a must during basketball season.  Can cancel after.

Be telling who doesn't play tonight too. I think Coral and Avery are likely redshirted. Morgan, Sophie, and Joy will likely be at the bottom of the depth chart. Still interested in seeing if Mazurk gets on the court. Out of all that the one thing I am very happy about is that we have OPTIONS. No more 8 woman rotation.

The game is not showing up on the Summit League Network for me. I see lots of other options, but not this game

Never mind, it just wasn’t logging in correctly. Fixed it.

Kendall Holmes looks like a good get. Someone may have already said but she looks like a Monica arens type. Probably a little better handle though.

Per Kayla, Holmes was contacted by 70 schools within a couple of days upon entering the portal. Her final five was the Yotes and four P5's.

I would believe it and i only watched her play for 5 minutes. She looks like the best player on the floor. Sometimes players look "natural" when they move with and without the ball. That's how I would describe her.

Overall a pretty solid effort. We had too many turnovers but we shot the ball well and defended better in the second half. Going to be a tough one on Friday. I also watched the Jacks play a bit tonight after our game. They have their own problems. This is anyone’s league.

I had the same issue initially.

Graves and Carson dressed but didn't play. Bergstom was in street clothes. All 4 freshman played. overall the team played well. Holmes and Deperry were great transfers

They have their own problems but never underestimate AJ. He will have that squad playing in the SLT title game. It’s up to us to be the other team playing them. I think Friday will give us a better idea of where we are currently at on what will need to be worked on and what we are doing well. But I really liked the balanced scoring with 6 players posting double digits. Creighton though will be much tougher but I think we can hang with them and put the summit on notice that we’re on our way back.

A little surprised Broughton played, thought she was a candidate for redshirt. But it's possible she doesn't want to redshirt.

Grange is probably a few weeks out.

Carson is an injury situation, and her status is TBD.

Bergstrom is injured, not sure of the status or prognosis.

Klosterbuer was again about 9th in the rotation, but she is so offensively skilled that I think they will need her to get more minutes. Not just a deadly shooter either, her offensive game is varied. They just need to get her in some spots defensively where they can match her up. She's not terribly quick with her feet, and she's been a bit jumpy on that end and has had problems containing the dribble. But it's early.

I think this squad is definitively better than last year, but I think the Creighton game will be a tough one to keep close. They hammered the Bison at the Pentagon tonight. But it will be fun to see the team grow with a lot more depth.

I believe you can play in as many as four games and still redshirt.  I would say that outcome is still likely for a couple players on the roster.
