NOTE: For Ottawa area fans, please note that tonight's Illinois / Carleton game begins at 9 PM (originally listed on the schedule below as 8 PM). Carleton web site and tickets distributed for the game confirm game time as 9 PM, likely to allow Illinois enough travel time to get to Ottawa (NCAA teams cannot leave their cities/towns until classes on Friday end).

Also received a nice note from site supporter Nathan Schellenberg from huskiehoops.com (also Saskatchewan's assistant coach) alerting to the new content on their site including Team Prospectus and a link to a UofS Huskies blog in the local newspaper U of S Blog The Huskies return nine players from last year’s Central Division championship team, and another two players (Rob Lovelace and Mark Thompson) returning to the program that were a part of the 2005-06 squad which reached the national championships. Lovelace is a 5th-year senior point guard, and is considered one of the top defensive players in the conference (has been a two-time Central Division Defensive POY). All five starters are back, and there are five 5th year seniors on the team. As well, four newcomers including one JuCo transfer (Troy Gottselig) and three high school recruits add further depth to the Huskies roster.
