    Up Next: Indiana State



    VS




    Other than their heads being freakishly much larger than ours, I think we match up well...


    Game #17: Indiana State at UNI
    Sat., Jan. 16 - 7:07 p.m. (Central)
    McLeod Center - Cedar Falls, Iowa
    Radio: Panther Sports Network
    TV: KWWL (Ch. 7.3)/CFU (Ch. 15)

    The University of Northern Iowa men's basketball team (15-1 overall, 6-0 MVC) will look to extend its 14-game win streak with a contest Saturday against the Indiana State University Sycamores (11-6 overall, 3-3 MVC). The Panthers and Sycamores will tip at 7:07 p.m. on the Panthers Sports TV Network.

    TIPPING OFF ...
    • With a win Saturday night, UNI would set the school record for consecutive wins (15). The Panthers won their final four games of the 1962-63 season and then opened the 1963-64 season with 10 straight wins to set the school record with 14 wins over two seasons.
    • Senior Adam Koch (Ashwaubenon, Wis.) needs 13 points to become the 31st player in UNI's history to score 1,000 career points.
    • The last time UNI started a season 15-1 was in 1963-64, when the Panthers ran off to a 19-1 start en route to a 23-4 mark.
    • UNI's 6-0 start in MVC play is the best in school history. UNI's previous best start in MVC play was 4-0 in 2001-02 and 2006-07. The last team to start the MVC season at 6-0 was Drake (13-0 in 2007-08) and Illinois State (6-0 in 2007-08).
    • UNI has won 14 straight games which ranks as the third-best mark in the nation heading into games on Jan. 16. Only Kentucky (17) and Texas (16) have longer current win streaks in the nation.
    • UNI has posted a mark of 11-1 in road MVC games the past two seasons.
    • UNI head coach Ben Jacobson has used the same starting lineup for 29 straight games, dating back to the final 13 games of 2008-09 and the first 16 games this season. Senior forward Adam Koch has started 82 consecutive games. Junior point guard Kwadzo Ahelegbe has started 54 straight games. Junior Ali Farokhmanesh and sophomore Johnny Moran have started all 50 games they have ever played at UNI.
    • UNI was picked to win the 2009-2010 Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll, as voted on by the league's coaches, sports information directors and media.
    • UNI returns five starters and nine of its top 10 scorers from last year's team that shared the regular season Valley title, won the MVC tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

    SCOUTING INDIANA STATE
    The Indiana State Sycamores enter Saturday's game with a mark of 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
    The Sycamores have gained league wins over Creighton, at Drake and Evansville. Indiana State has dropped MVC games at Southern Illinois, at Bradley in overtime and at home to Wichita State.
    Dwayne Lathan and Harry Marshall lead the Sycamores in scoring with identical 13.1 per game averages. Sophomore Jordan Printy (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar HS) is averaging 6.2 points per game. Junior Jake Kelly, a transfer from Iowa, suffered a knee injury Dec. 30 vs. Southern Illinois and will miss the rest of the season.
    The Sycamores are led by head coach Kevin McKenna.

    DMRegister is reporting that Jake Kelly is considering a transfer BACK to Iowa. I can't recall another collegiate player in any sport doing that before???

        Which are, to us oldsters, just like ISU's old jerseys. The Columbia blue is what they wore during the Larry Bird years. Much nicer than the Navy blue.

          Anyone know of a reason Mediacom Connections channel 22 in Des Moines is picking up the Missouri State-Bradley game at 2pm then the SIU-Evansville game at 7pm, but not the UNI-Indiana State game?

            Looking around further I found this schedule pdf I guess they're only planning on showing 2 more UNI men's games (1/27 Drake and 2/10 @Drake) makes sense they're both vs. Drake and 1 women's game 2/5. Seems to me they could pick up another one if they're going to be showing other Valley games that aren't UNI or Drake.

              The local Mediacom outlets in Springfield and Carbondale probably are the primary TV outlets for MSU and SIU sports (I know they pick up many of the football games), and Mediacom probably produces those games. Thus the Iowa Mediacom outlets are able to pick up those game broadcasts for their MC22 channel for pretty cheap, where as they would have to pay more to get the UNI game from "Panther Sports Properties". (as well as likely having the "blackout" in affect for those Mediacom customers that are "within range" of KWWL's 7.3 subchannel.

              That's my guess, at least.

                I'm guessing they produced the SIU and MSU games for the Carbondale and Springfield areas and there is no incremental cost to show the games in Iowa too.

                In Iowa, they wouldn't be allowed to show the UNI game in KWWL's area and would likely have to pay for it elsewhere.

                  Checked online ticket availability, it looks like this is going to be a great crowd if the students show up!
                  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.

                    Ball movement, ball movement, ball movement. Things looked a little slow against Bradley. Too much standing. Have to either drive and dish or have quick ball movement. Doing neither almost loses the game.

                      With the extra time to prepare for once I think we see UNI firing on all cylinders tomorrow.

                        Yeah, you are right.

                        Bradley did a good job of switching up their D quite a bit, and I think it frustrated us. We seemed to struggle a bit when they went zone, so I wouldn't be surpised to see that again tomorrow night.

                          First chance to reverse a conference loss from last year. I think we'll see the guys with fresher legs and more pep (maybe the band will have some, too). Here's to Adam Koch getting 13 points to become the 31st Panther to 1K and then pushing beyond the barrier by another 10 or 15 points!
