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.

    Coach Mac told me it looks like Purdue and Cincy would be our opponents in Las Vegas, but it hasn't been locked down.

      Purdue...

      would be a chance to play against a Matt Painter squad again. Not to mention that we could easily beat Purdue by double digits. Would also like another shot against Cincy. Good RPI builders for the team next year.
      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

        I'm not so sure that with the way Purdue is playing they'd be all that big of an RPI boost. Beating a Big Ten team by 15 is always sweet though... probably just as sweet as beating a certain Big XII team by 17. But we definitely want CINCI!

          I would expect Purdue to be much improved next year. This year was not a typical Purdue team, the transition form Keady to Painter was probably awkward. Purdue has a long history of being a top B10 team and I think they will return to that form quickly under Painter.

          I think UNI can beat them next year, I just wouldn't expect it to be as easy as it would have been this year.

            Article I found online:


            The eight-team Las Vegas Holiday Invitational on Nov. 25-26 will include Oklahoma State, Boston College, Drake, Minnesota, Iona, Detroit Mercy and Jackson State. The Las Vegas Holiday Classic on Dec. 22-23 has LSU, Purdue, Northern Iowa, Dayton, Louisiana-Monroe, Florida A&M and Loyola-Maryland.

            So, maybe we could be playing home games against Louisiana-Monroe, Florida A&M, and/or Loyola-Maryland. I'm sure this will not be the final list of teams, but probably when the NCAA rules on it's '2 in 4' rule later this month we should know more about who will be in this tourney.

              The latest on the schedule for next year:



              UNI will open up with Western Carolina in Des Moines for the Wells Fargo Events Center opener.

                I just read that article. I dont know who WCU has coming back, but they had a kid who lit Iowa up from deep. I think they are a good test for November for the Panthers! I can't wait to see UNI in the Wells Fargo Arena.

                  Interesting thoughts:
                  1.) Western Carolina's Larry Hunter was a finalist with Brad Soderberg for the job Coach Mac has.
                  2.) Interesting how UNI will be playing no home games in November, and no true away games in the December.
                  3.) UNI will open the season on a Sunday, and the Iowa State game will be on a Sunday as well.
                  4.) I'm going to be looking for some flights and hotel rooms for Vegas very soon. When I get my Priceline.com prices on those, I will pass it on.

                    One of UNI's upcoming opponents this season is Western Michigan. WMU is ranked as the #140 team in the country by collegehoopsnet.com. The website is counting down the top 144 teams in the country.

                      According to the offical Purdue schedule on their website they will not be playing against UNI this season. An August 17th article on the Dayton athletic site says that two teams have yet to be named for the Vegas tournament (these Vegas guys tend to fly by the seat of their pants if I remember correctly from last year). Announced participants are now Cincinnati, Dayton, Florida A&M , LSU, Northern Iowa and Tennessee Tech.Thats a little different from earlier posts. I hope we can play Dayton, since the A-10 is so commonly compared to the MVC in terms of caliber of teams (although the MVC was much tougher top to bottom then the A-10 a year ago). LSU would also help the old RPI, not to mention getting to see one of the best in the NCAA, Glen Davis.

                        With Huggins now gone at Cincy......I would think our odds of victory are even higher

                          Some televised games have been added. More tv announced games to come.

                            LSU released their schedule...the game in Baton Rouge will be televised on Cox Sports TV. Maybe we can get Fox 28 and KDSM to pick this game up? Neither Iowa or Iowa State play that night, and I would think that MANY fans across the state would love to watch this game.
