Since this one isn't on the ESPN network I will be giving my annual listen to occasional board member Brian Kuklinski. While I think of it hopefully the ESPN machine is working this year when the time comes for the games to be online.
As for this game GB is much bigger than SNC but plays a much different style. Hopefully they don't have a slow start tonight and are able to control the game. If they do then we should get a good view of all the players.
So far in the HL IUPUI and OU have played close games in the preseason, I don't want GB to join that list.

This is perhaps the only game I will ever not fully be rooting for the Phoenix.....

Anyone at the game? How does everyone look? Both from the Nix and SNC?

I can't comment too much on the game as I didn't see it or listen to it, but if the online score is correct, GB 79 Norbert's 72.
Kudos to Norbert's for keeping it close. Hopefully GB can learn something from it as that is a little disappointing to struggle to beat a team a few levels below them.

Well I know its only a preseason game but St Norbert hit 10 threes. Hopefully this isnt a sign of things to come this year again for the NIX. We were one of the worst programs in D1 last year in 3 point defense.

I was there- SNC made GB look bad on the glass- that is a bad sign and something that needs to be addressed
Bell, Hankerson and Davis were impressive. Bell looked confident from the outside ie the CIT run, Hankerson hit several mid range jumpers and seemed to get many rebounds similar to Sandy Cohen did to start the break. Davis looks to be the real deal. He should be one of the first options off the bench.
Tank's shot looks much better (it had to be better) and made several free throws. I will predict he will be around 65% this year and with how often he will get there- huge for this team.
Chevalier did not get into the game meaning he is on the outside of the roughly ten man rotation- Neither did freshman Kellogg (redshirt option?)
Good test from a really good D3 program that returns their top 5 scorers. SNC is a ton better than Stout or Concordia-Chicago will be. GB did not make a FG the last 6 minutes and let SNC linger- it really wasnt ever in doubt
On to Purdue

Pipes, Hankerson, Hemphill, McNair and Patterson- McCloud did not start and did not play as many minutes as he usually would. Could be coming back from some sort of injury.
