The Nebraska-Wisconsin game could be big, but the SDSU/UNI game could be a pivotal game for the MVFC. Need to ponder the options for that weekend.

On the men's side, the only thing that really matters is how well you play in Sioux Falls in March, as NDSU showed last season. As the old saying goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." That may be the philosophy we will need to remember in November and December.
There's some truth to that, but an OOC resume that's respectable is also necessary when you win in Sioux Falls to avoid a 15 or 16 seed. If you schedule aggressively and win some of those games the resume looks good. If you don't then your resume doesn't. The goal is to win an NCAA tourney game.
I think a balance is best. Couple P5 games mixed with some quality mid-majors. We have 4 P5 games on the schedule in the span of 10 days. Not sure we've ever had that with a veteran team let alone a team with as many question marks as next year.
