A lot has happened to Vandal basketball in the off season after Coach Perry's departure, so here's a quick update with links.
Pfeiffer is going with a relatively soft schedule. We are still playing Gonzaga, Washington and Washington State (home game), but have filled in the rest of the schedule with in-season home-and-home games with North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and Southern Utah. Montana State comes to Moscow to finish their half of last season's Bracket Buster. We're also playing Idaho State and Eastern Washington, two Big Sky teams we've been trading home games with for the past few seasons. It's a soft schedule, but gives us an opportunity to pick up some OOC wins and work on team chemistry after basically starting with a new roster.

We're only bringing back three significant contributors from last season - Mike Kale, Desmond Nwoke and PG Keoni Watson. Aaron Smith will redshirt. Everyone else is new, brought in by Pfeiffer and Leroy Washington.
And here's the summer prospectus, with bios of the new players:
