North Dakota playing at Minnesota now on the Big 10 Network, channel 610 on Direct.
On the interview that Mike Reis posted today, Mullins said they're still looking to add one or two more non-con games, if possible. As has been noted, with the Louisville and Southern Miss games banged, it's a weak slate, so it'd be nice to get the fellas a top half of D-I type test before Valley play.
Its hard to have a qualm with scheduling this year because of everything.
ESPN TV Schedule is out for the conference season.

The second game on Wednesday night is Duquesne vs. Loyola.
We will play Duquesne on Monday night.

Duquesne is a top 100 KenPom team (83) with a neutral court (Louisville) win over UNC Greensboro (99) and a neutral court loss to Little Rock (140). Not a bad last second add.
Does anyone know if Loyola has a game on Monday there on Monday against someone? We might have another game if so against that team on Wednesday. Then we still have the back to back on Thursday and Friday? That might be too much. Maybe we just have the Monday against them.
Three games in a week should give everyone a real chance get minutes and continue to mesh. I did thing the ball movement against Quincy was pretty good considering the number of new guys..
