Those of you who want to fire Coach Jacobson after one conference loss ... Not so fast my friend!

UNI is currently only one of four teams in the Valley with 10 or more wins.

Go Panthers!

Re: Valley Basketball Round #4

Last year, it was the loss against Ill. St. that started our free-fall after a strong start.

Here's to just the opposite this year: stealing a big "W" tonight and propelling us onto a mid-season hot streak!!!!

Re: Valley Basketball Round #4

In the largest fan base in Iowa (Des Moines) we get to listen to high school basketball tonight (again) instead of UNI.
Is there any radio link to listen to Gary this year? I know UNI was the only MVC school last year without one.

Josh Young from Drake appears to have sprained an ankle in the game with InSU tonight. Wonder if he'll be back for the game at the end of the month.

He was able to walk off the court with assistance. Unless he breaks something in his foot, which is not likely given the way he rolled it and the fact he was wearing a brace, I'm guessing he'll be back.

Might affect their performance in their next few games. It appears that they are doing OK without him, though. They've always been the type of team to run alot of guys at the other team, and maybe losing 1 spoke of the wheel won't be that big of a deal for them. After tonight's game, I'm starting to think they are the real deal.

They will be able to succeed without him, but he is truly a playmaker and they will achieve much more when he gets back.

Re: Valley Basketball Round #4

He's definately a player in the Valley that I enjoy watching, except when he's playing UNI. I never want to see a team's top player go down, like Ruffin, but, if you can get a couple of W's against them with that player out, that's the breaks of the game, and a win is a win.

Re: Valley Basketball Round #4

No surprise in Creighton waxing Evansville at home. I hate to think they're starting to put it all together right before we play them.
