Uncertainty in NCAA's elite, room for improvement for the rest

Last week, I wrote about three of the teams we'll be following this season and what we should be looking for. I noted some troubles facing the Gophers, some better days on the horizon for the Badgers, and some continuity up top for the Bulldogs. This time, I'll wrap up our coverage and get us set for tonight's action with a preview of four other teams in the midwest.

We'll kick today off with the University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks.

Sitting atop most national rankings, North Dakota has many reasons to be optimistic heading into the season, not the least of which being the return of Brock Boeser, who's just plain good.
