Much like its counterparts in Division 1 basketball,  NCAA Division III teams now have the opportunity to play one “exhibition” game in the preseason. These are actual games instead of a scrimmage format.

Several other WIAC teams have played, or will play exhibition games over the next several days.

UW-Eau Claire opened its preseason by dropping a 73-49 exhibition game to the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Saturday (Nov. 3).

UW-Superior dropped a 91-65 exhibition game to cross state rival UMD Saturday, Nov. 3 in Duluth.

UW-Oshkosh is scheduled to on the Wisconsin Badgers on Wednesday, Nov. 7, in a 7 p.m. tipoff at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin is completing its first series of exhibition games against WIAC teams. The past eight years, the Badgers posted wins over UW-Stevens Point (80-54), UW-La Crosse (84-59), UW-Superior (80-47), UW-Whitewater (64-47), UW-Eau Claire (74-35), UW-Stout (82-33), UW-River Falls (79-52) and UW-Platteville (78-44).
