The Blue Devils will be at Eau Claire, Friday, Feb. 12 and will play at McPhee Center, the first time the Stout men's program has ever played at McPhee. The Blugolds normally play at Zorn Arena, but that facility is being used as a COVID-19 testing site.

The conference has been divided into two divisions, and East and West. The teams in each division will meet twice during the shortened regular season, all in the same week with games on Wednesdays and Fridays. Stout is in the West Division along with UW-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls and UW-La Crosse. There will two games against a crossover opponent, and Stout will play UW-Whitewater twice. The conference tournament is scheduled to be held the first week of March, with the first round Monday, March 1, the second round Wednesday, March 3 and the championship game Friday, March 5. All tournament games will be played at the high seed. No fans will be allowed during the 2020-21 season.

BLUE DEVILS LAST WEEK

• The Blue Devils split two games last week with UW-River Falls, with each team winning on their own floor, River Falls taking the win in Menomonie, 82-77, but Stout winning in River Falls, 81-72.
• UW-Stout came back from a 21 point deficit seven minutes into the second half (66-45) to pull to within one point, 70-69, with five minutes left on Drew Scott's layup, only to fall 82-77 to UW-River Falls  in the season opener Wednesday on Dewey Mintz Court. It looked like the Falcons were going to blow the Blue Devils out of the empty gym early in the second half. The Blue Devils built up a six point lead in the first half, leading 26-20 at the 8:33 mark. But the Falcons cut the lead and then turned that into a six point, 44-38, hafltime lead. River Falls built an 11 point lead three minutes into the second half, then outscored Stout 10-2 over the next four minutes to take a 66-45 lead. The teams traded buckets and the Falcons went up 68-47 following a media timeout.  The Blue Devils went on a run, outscoring River Falls 22-2 in a six minute roll. The Blue Devils got balanced scoring in the run. Jon Ciriacks and Drew Scott each had five points. Josh Mericle and Lovell Williams each added four and Brody Fox and TYreese Alexander had two points each.  The teams went scoreless for nearly two minutes until the Falcons Noah Hanson drained a three, one of his eight on the night. Stout pulled to within one point again, 75-74, on Luke Geiger's 3-pointer with 1:39 left. Alex Ohde answered back with a three for the Falcons and Stout never got closer than three the rest of the way. Hanson led all scorers with 28 points. Ohde finished with 17 points and 15 boards.

•  TYreese Alexander notched a double-double for UW-Stout and the Blue Devils went on to an 81-72 win at UW-River Falls Friday. Alexander scored a career-high 22 points and matched a career-best 10 rebounds in recording his third double-double at Stout.

Alexander scored 16 points in the second  half. Demitri Martin got the Blue Devils going out of the halftime gate, drawing a foul on his lay-up and completed the three point play to put Stout ahead, 31-29, a lead Stout would never relinquish. Alexander scored six points in a 45 second span around the 16 minute mark to push Stout up 37-32 and guards Luke Geiger and Marcus Hill added a pair of layups. Alexander went to work again, scoring four more points to give Stout a 45-36 lead at 14:16.  The Falcons made a run, pulling to within two points, 47-45, on a 3-pointer by Noah Hanson, but Alexander gave Stout a four point cushion and that would be as close as River Falls would get the rest of the way.  The Blue Devils would build up as much as a 15 point lead, but the Falcons did not roll over, cutting the lead to four points, 72-68, at 1:18.  A basket by Drew Scott and four free throws by Armani Tinsley and two throws by Josh Mericle kept the Falcons at bay.

Noah Hanson added 16 points, Jack Stensgard 13 and Bryce Phillips 10. The Blue Devils shot .484 (31-64) for the game, but shot .568 (21-37) in the second half.
