 Looks like the schedule is out for conference play and at least 1 other non conference tournament, including a trip to Bloomington to face IU. Hoping for an improvement from last year with a new coach and multiple new players. |

From the Bradley website it’s looks like USI is hosting a tournament at the SEA. Looks like the 4 teams are Bradley, Jacksonville State, Chicago State and USI. Good seeing us hosting events like this. I wonder if the new coach was able to set this up? I believe he will be good but with him not being hired until just recently I don’t know how much he can do in his first season. Attachments:

I don’t know anything about this guy, but I have to believe he will be better than what they had. |

My goal for this team is 10 wins. Now that may be unrealistic after last year, but that’s my hope. How many times did we lose a match 25-23? Way too many.if we can get over the hump and finish, we can win. My wish is that the new recruits can give us the bump up we need to get it done.

Why on earth are we playing at UE again this year? I didn’t notice that at first glance. Doesn’t make sense but I am not shocked. I have said from the beginning, once we play them in basketball they will screw us and we will gladly accept it. |

No reason we should play at their place 2 years in a row. I hope we don’t let them do this in every sport. Either home/home or don’t play them in anything. We don’t need them and they are going to take a good gate for this game and we get nothing. I would rather play a P5 team any time.

I thought Chicago State was going to be in our invitational but it looks like Arkansas-Pine Bluff replaced Chicago State.

Anderson named preseason All OVC. Well deserved.

Not surprisingly picked 11th. I think we might beat that if this coach is as good as I think he might be.
