Some notable “secret scrimmages” to take place

Published by Source on October 25th, 2011

CBSSports.com senior writer Jeff Goodman released a list of “secret scrimmages” that are scheduled to take place between Thursday October 27th and Sunday November 6th. Yes, I am aware that they can not really be considered “secret” if the information is out there, so perhaps “closed scrimmage” is the better turn. Most, if not all, of the notable scrimmages below will be closed to everyone but the two teams and coaching staffs involved.

A number of the BCS schools involved will be facing off with non-BCS schools, but as you will see there are some pretty solid match-ups that will serve as great experience/practice for everyone involved. Here’s a list of the scrimmages that may be of interest to you, and if you want the full list, just click the link in the first sentence of this post:

Saturday Oct. 29th:

Wisconsin at DePaul

Bowling Green vs. Loyola (Ill) – Game in Indianapolis, IN

Northern Illinois at Drake

West Virginia at Xavier

Ball State at Wright State

But Parker will still make an immediate impact with his ability to be a true leader on the court and make things happen for his teammates.
