Per Rob Demovsky. Was waiting to see who their scrimmage would be against. Good day of competition for a HL team.

That is cool for GB that they get to scrimmage against Indiana. I know they are different players but I would have to imagine that Alec Brown vs Tyler Zeller was a big reason they are doing this. I know the Wardle connection to Crean. However, that is a tough sell for Crean to scrimmage "down" to GB just on a personal connection. With the best player on each team being a big man that is projected to be 1st round NBA draft pick, that makes it worth while for Indiana and Crean in my opinion.

What better measuring stick than the number 1 team in the country? This could end up being a gigantic confidence builder for a developing team.

This scrimmage will take place November 4th at the United Center in Chicago. I really wish it was open to the public. It is a great opportunity for the team to gain some confidence. I also would love to see Cody Zeller vs Alec Brown. That matchup is gonna be a great one and will show where Alec stands as far as being ready for the NBA.

It will be a good test for Alec to go against Zeller. I was talking to someone on Friday who is pretty well connected to the NBA. They told me one interesting things about Alec Brown.
I know agents have been paying attention to Alec. I was told that Billy Duffy is taking a look at Alec. Billy Duffy is a a pretty big time agent, he gets his guys drafted and paid in the NBA. A side note to that, he was in WI to negotiate an extension for Brandon Jennings and the Bucks, so if you like Jennings maybe he will be around for a while.

I guess I never considered this scrimmage as a possible confidance builder. I considered it a snapback to reality after facing D3 St. Norbert. It could be a humbling experience for the team, which is good, and will prepare them for a tough non-conference schedule.
