Crazy that I only recognize a few names on here.

I see former MSUM guard, Carson Johnson, made 2nd team. I started a rant about quality players we used to see for more than a year, but not going to bother.

But the former MSUM player on WDAY today said that NSIC was as good as Summit League

About time we get the Gophers back on the schedule! Excited for the season. Going to to have the roster out watching these games with all the new guys. Unfortunately that will be the norm for mid/low majors like the Summit.
