Exhibition games are created to allow a squad to test their depth chart, play newcomers to introduce them to the court for the first time and see what’s right and what’s wrong on the team. It’s also to prepare the squad for their regular season, which will span from November to February. Regular season play begins Saturday, Nov. 12, against Louisiana College.
Unfortunately for the men’s basketball team, head coach Tim Floyd believes that his team is not ready for the regular season based on their first exhibition game against Southeastern Oklahoma State, which the Miners slipped away with a win, 80-73.
