They are much improved, but the Missouri Valley is a strong league which they’ve finished in the cellar of for multiple years. If they can finish as a sub .500 team in league, it will be a big win for them.

Denver looks like they could compete in a weak Summit this year, so that’s good.

However, none of our OOC games will likely matter outside of NC State, SDSU and Utah (maybe ASU if they go on a massive winning streak) no matter how well those teams do in league. They no longer have any meaningful growth in the metrics to make as they’ll now be playing all q3 and 4 games.
