Definitely not a strong opinion here, but I like standalone games and teams in their home openers, which this is for North Dakota -- it played a game in Bismarck on Tuesday against a lower-level school but not in the Fighting Hawks' gym. North Dakota had two preseason All-Summit League first-team picks in Treysen Eaglestaff and Amar Kuljuhovic. These weird weekday start times generally favor home teams. It's the first road game for Utah Valley and it's possible one key player is suspended today in Carter Welling (10.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.5 BPG) as the team was involved in a scuffle last time out against UTEP and Welling was ejected.
