    Next year's schedule...

    I've heard that the non-conference schedule is tentatively set for the 05-06 season:

    Nov. 20 @ Des Moines to open the new Wells Fargo Arena
    Nov. 23 @ Western Michigan
    Nov. 30 @ Iowa State
    Dec. 3 Loyola
    Dec. 6 Iowa
    Dec. 10 UMKC
    Dec. 17 & 19 Home games that are part of Vegas Classic Tourny
    Dec. 22 & 23 @ Vegas

    Looks like a pretty awesome schedule. The highlight has to be the Vegas Tourny again. Hopefully we can get some quality opponents in the Dome on the 17th & 19th. Instead of Longwood and Wagner, maybe Valpo and NW State or hey what about Cincinnatti?

    Just as long as it is not Illinois. Well maybe they won't be quite as good next year. Just think what that might have done to us if we had played them. I don't see ISU on the schedule. Haven't they been able to set a date for that game yet?
    If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

        Sorry, I hadn't had my morning Coke yet. Not able to completely open the eyes...

          McDermott stated on his call in show or TC's show that in the Vegas Tournament UNI would probably play Cincinnati in the first game out there. I have heard rumors of some of the other teams, but nothing solidified for sure.

          Where did you hear that schedule JC?
          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

            I did say it was tentative, so no....nothing is "for sure". I also heard Mac say that there was a good chance we would probably face Cincy in Vegas, which is why I am going to do what I can to make it out there this year.

            I'm not sure where I heard about the other games....probably from someone in the know.

              Mac also said that Purdue would be a possibility out in Vegas. Two teams from major conferences on a neutral court. That is all that most mid-majors can ask for, plus you throw in games with Iowa and home and Iowa State on the road, the schedule is looking real nice.
