Exhibition season kicks off tonight!!!

Hey Warrior fans!!! Hope everyone is getting ready as our new season is approaching quickly and the exhibition season kicks off tonight when the Warriors host UW-LaCrosse Eagles tonight at 7.
This will be the third straight season the Warriors and Eagles have met to begin the Exhibition season. If you remember last year the Eagles took the Warriors down to the final minute but the Warriors were able to hold off the Eagles to come out with a 76-73 win.
For the Warriors tonights game will be a great opportunity to step out on the floor for the first team as a new team and to see where they are at as a squad. Expect to see a variety of different line-ups on the floor throughout the game as the Warriors will be working on meshing the returning players with the new players. The exhibition season is a great time to find out what works and what needs to be worked on. While the Warriors return many players, new faces will be seeing the floor for the first time tonight. Newcomers Xavier Humphrey, Zander Culver, Kellen Taylor and CJ Erickson will be hitting the hardwood in Warrior colors for the first time along with three red-shirts Jordan Fischer, Dan Kratz and Clayton Vette. These seven along with the returning eight players from last year give the team a ton of depth and talent. It should be an exiciting night in McCown for this years squad.
As for UW LaCrosee, they return a ton of talent including there top 3 scorers from last season. Look for Tony Mane and Trevor Stratton to lead the way for the Eagles as both avered right around 17 ppg last season for them. Along with those two guards, the Eagles return 6'9 post player Andy Merklein who finished the year averaging 9.7 ppg and 6 rpg. The Eagles also have many other returning players who saw action for them along with some talented freshman.
Check back tomorrow for a recap on tonights game, until then GO WARRIORS!!!!
