Panthers will get their first regular season game in as well as the first crack at departed Horizon League member Loyola. The Ramblers have built up their roster and were picked as high as sixth in MVC preseason polls (if that's true than the HL is already better).

We'll see if the Prahls, Wichmann or Trinson White reach the floor. White's an almost certainty to redshirt, a move the coaches wish they could have convinced several junior college transfers to take. As far as I can recall, Matt Tiby is the only player in recent memory to transfer in without using eligibility in his second year at the JUCO.
