Commentary
Fargo Davies will start the season as the favorite. Sophomore Jaden Klabo will have a big influence on whether they remain as the favorite or the rest of the conference catches up with them. Grand Forks Red River is searching for a leader after graduating Braedan Hanson, and Austin Slaughter will look to be that leader. West Fargo Sheyenne has their first senior class this year and one of the tallest teams across the board.
Top Match-up to See
Jacob Mertens vs. Siman Sem. These are two guys who do everything for their teams, and will guard each other when they play. Both of these stars will start with the ball in their hands and most possessions will end with them putting that ball through the basket.
