Thread for discussing our Huskies before the seasons begin for both men's and women's basketball teams.

2026-27 Men's Basketball Schedule

2026-27 Women's Basketball Schedule

Some financial data on HL MBB spending.

NIU spent $3,501,500 on MBB in FY25 season.

My guess on the starting 5 WBB. Granted they haven't even started official preseason practice yet but here goes. First one thing I thought was interesting...MBB has a commit from Verona Wisconsin Will Stemlow- the University of Iowa has a good WBB player Taylor Stremlow also from Verona Wisconsin. Brother/ sister I assume. My WBB starting 5 Alecia Doyle PG (assuming she is healthy) Emilie Sorensen SG -Anna Stromberg C -Leah Middleton WF -Nevaeh Wingate PF. I think combo guard Laniah Davis- PG Ashlynn Brooke and F Omari Booker will also get their share of playing time. I have more enthusiasm for FB-MBB-WBB than I've had in some time. Can't wait for football.

Men's roster is up.

A large chunk of that 3.5 mil went to the East-West University payoff game.

What the h%## is this? I have never seen anyone "reserve" a post for themself for some future comment, especially since they created the thread in the first place.

I support reserving post for whatever reason.

It is where the full schedules will go when they are released so they don't get buried by useless posts like your's here.

It wasn't useless if it had gotten you to post a simple one-sentence explanation, like "Post #2 reserved for full schedules when released."

Why do I need to explain myself to the PVK message board police? Do I need to run all my posts by you now? I simply created a thread for people to discuss both teams before the season begins and I need to get grilled over reserving post #2.

So your response is another insult? I have never "policed" anything. I expect courtesy from other posters, and my "h%##" was to get your attention (which it did). It had NOTHING to do with the thread. I am NOT any of those others you insult whenever you feel like it if they disagree with you. You do a lot of good work keeping info up-to-date, which with my age and condition I no longer have the time to do. But I do read the board quite a bit. Suggestion: think about how a post will read to others first, and consider they might not "get it" right away. Have a nice day.

WBB non conf schedule. https://niuhuskies.com/sports/womens-bas...l/schedule

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At around 40 minutes, the ILst AD talks about NIU and MVC expansion for #12 team.

She talks about how ILst is losing $650k annually for House Settlement (for 10 years) and another $110k per year (for 3 years) for the coaches lawsuit.

Why is Toledo and exhibition game. I assume this is the same toledo that did this:

80 bucks for season tickets hopefully? Crazy crazy lack of home games, that almost screams going out of business
