Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather these days - it's actually been quite mild here and we've had a good number of sunny days including today and the weekend forecast.
Like I'm sure many of you are, I am anxiously awaiting the start of basketball season! Note that's anxiously and not patiently. I think the same goes for our players and coaches. Though they can do some skill instruction and have a few practices, things won't officially kick-off for us until mid-October. Then just a month later we open at Big 10 foe Northwestern on November 12.
One exciting preseason activity has already passed, as we got the team pictures and headshots taken in record time - at least since I've been here. Getting those done in September was nothing short of a miracle between new class schedules, lifts and workouts and three teams sharing Leede Arena!
You may notice the white background behind the players - Leede got a bit of an interior facelift this summer. Mostly painting including one big change that you won't see in these pictures and that you'll just have to check out yourself this winter! (Perhaps on Nov. 24 for our home opener against Vermont).
Anyhow I thought I'd share some of the fun pictures with you. I really like picture day because it's a good chance to see the whole team together and take some great shots and let the players' personality shine. Our photographer Mark Washburn did a great job with these.
This is my favorite, a casual group picture of all the players!

Any "hoops hype" or other events to meet the team coming up. Is there an alumni game or scrimmage during Homecoming. Lookin' forward to a great season.
