Any word on who we will be playing in any "secret" scrimmages? And when? My anticipation for college basketball season is building and I am ready to overreact to any news!

I say a local team - maybe DePaul or a Wisconsin team again this year. My money is on DePaul!

Saw someone on twitter mention a rumor from the trillydonovan discord that we’re scrimmaging with DePaul next week. Seems odd to have a scrimmage with them but not renew the regular season matchup. Will be interesting to see more details come out. Hope we hear news of a blow out.

I don't want to overreact to a scrimmage, but our defense stinks, coaching stinks and we are a bottom tier A10 team.

But for real, has anyone seen a box score? Interested in the breakdown of minutes. Also wish I could hear what happened on the defensive end.

Maybe Drew stretched player use more than DePaul did. You know, thinking of last year. Would definitely liked to have seen it even though scrimmage play.

Saw another twitter post that said it was a 3pt game with 3 mins left. Wonder how much tinkering Drew did in those 3 mins.

DePaul basketball's official account posted a short video. Obviously, it's just DePaul highlights but still, some game action. Didn't realize DePaul is loaded with guys who played in the MVC last year. Troy D'Amico (SIU), Isaiah Rivera (UIC), Conor Enright (Drake). They also have Skogman from Davidson. He was one of their better players last year before he got hurt.

Relax. We beat Wisconsin didn't we a few years ago in a secret scrimmage and it did not matter. In fact I think we also played them that same season and they hammered us. I could be wrong, sucks getting old. LOL! This doesn't matter either. Drew was probably using everyone, mixing and matching, and trying to learn about what he has. My guess is DePaul took it more seriously considering how bad they been the last decade.
