Yesterday afternoon, a\u00a0few friends and I\u00a0made\u00a0a trip down to Mankato for the Wolves’ pre-season opener against Milwaukee. First of all, it was a\u00a0nice, picturesque drive. Those of us\u00a0who trek\u00a0up north during the\u00a0summer and fall\u00a0should appreciate the night and day difference between driving north vs. south in our state.<\/p>\n
I had intended to make this into\u00a0the 2nd portion\u00a0of\u00a0last weeks’\u00a0State of the Wolves: Kahn Edition write-up, but due to the lack of coverage on the game,\u00a0will go with a recap instead.\u00a0Part 2 will be posted in the coming weeks as cuts are made, and the roster appears more finalized. Onward to the game recap below the fold:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On to basketball items. Since the outcome of the game is somewhat irrelevant, I’ll approach this one in bullet form, loosely following the sequence of the game. And yes, this was a preseason game. It was clearly designed to feature one or two primary offensive sets. So, any generalization I make on a player’s performance should be taken with a grain of salt given the circumstances.<\/p>\n
Some Player by Player Thoughts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n That about wraps up my thoughts on the night. Feel free to ask any further questions in the forums, or in the comments and I’ll do my best. I had to recall that from memory so I am likely forgetting quite\u00a0a bit. Next game: Friday vs. Toronto at Target Center.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday afternoon, a\u00a0few friends and I\u00a0made\u00a0a trip down to Mankato for the Wolves’ pre-season opener against Milwaukee.
