Scouting St. Francis (Ind.) – Head coach Chad LaCross
The Cougars, under eighth year head coach Chad LaCross, are 1-0 on the season with a road win at Olivet Nazarene last weekend. LaCross is 173-71 in his previous seven seasons at the helm of the USF program and is one that CU is very familiar with as the two foes have played three times in the past two and a half years including twice in the national tourney. Hunter Hollowell led USF with 25 points in his collegiate debut and he was followed in scoring by Evan Henry (18 points), preseason CL Player of the Year Bryce Lienhoop (17) and transfer Derek Hinen (11).

Scouting Union (Ky.) – Head coach Kevin Burton
The defending NAIA DII National Champions open their season under 6th year head coach Kevin Burton on Friday against fellow WHAC school Indiana Tech. The Bulldogs return just four players from that team that defeated Cornerstone 72-69 in the national title game and together they bring back a combined 16.4 points per game. Last season, UC put up almost 90 points per night in route to their first ever national title. Union is ranked No. 2 in the preseason poll behind the Golden Eagles.
