Well, my first thought was to go with NWU but they start conference play and have NAIA schools – starting with a ranked Hastings – so they are out.
I have heard Oshkosh have beefed up their SID department but that can only go so far on the court.
A number of schools I’m really not familiar with so I eliminated them through my own ignorance.
Millsaps runs into Berry soon and Hendrix is surprising teams this year.
Hate to be obvious but I’ll take Hope with Mt. Union to place and Dracula to show (hope I spelled that right).

On that list…I have one daughter who coaches one of the teams (Millsaps), and another daughter who plays on another team (UWO). Wonder what the chances of that are?

That’s awesome! I’m going to have to tweet that. I didn’t know you had one at Millsaps. Congrats!
