ugh....that sucks

For reference, the academic calendar says that spring classes begin on Tuesday, January 16th, so no students for the South Dakota or Oral Roberts games (might have to take my daughter to the USD game at least...she enjoys it and maybe we can make a little noise), but they'll be back by the next home game vs Fort Wayne on the 18th.

That could be a huge game not just for us but the league as a whole cause I believe that this is the year that we may see to 2 teams from the league get in we are going to be very good again this year and SDSU is going to be better and USD is still going to be good losing IUPUI hurt but the top 3 teams in the league this year are probably the best i've seen collectively.

Looks like we added a late-season non-conference "tune-up" game against Eureka College in Macomb on February 12th, 2018. Saw a tweet about it and it's showing up on the official schedule.

That's in addition to the previously mentioned game at Gonzaga on December 21st. That'll work out well for the team, since they'll be at Stanford (SF Bay Area) on the 18th, they can fly up to Gonzaga (Spokane, WA) to play on the 21st and then fly back home and spend the holidays back here/home before playing at Bradley on the 28th.
