Up Next: Wichita State

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Mother Nature has finally decided I can go up during the week for a game. I'm driving up from West Des Moines right after work on Wednesday and should be there by tip off. Everyone in attendence should remember how the WSU fans were in the first half of our game down there. We HAVE TO match that energy - we HAVE TO make it as loud as possible - we HAVE TO make this a signature game that will energize some of our casual Panther brethren into finally getting excited about this fantastic team!

I've lived in Wichita for over a year now. God has smiled on me and I will be moving back to Iowa with my job in a few weeks, just in time for the Illinois St game.

I would like nothing more than one last chance to wear my UNI polo to work and talk trash ALL DAY.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

As I'm sure it has been mentioned already, but I wanted to make sure...Veridian C.U. is having a deal for their clients. I believe you can buy any tickets (that are left) for $10 at either the box office, or online by entering the code "veridian." Good deal for a huge game! Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is the deal. Pack the House on Wednesday! Go Cats!

Here is a post from Shockernet:

Ok, I don't normally start prediction threads and I generally don't like making a prediction other than win / lose and I predict wins for every single shocker game.

But this game I have reason to believe the guys can walk into Cedar Falls and pick up a big win. Quite simply, I really think UNI's style of play gives us a huge advantage. UNI is methodical and slow. They will drain 25+ seconds almost every time down the court.

Our defense gets better as the shot clock winds down. Advantage us.
We are a better rebounding team. Advantage us.
We are going to push it up the court and out hustle them as they are not used to playing that speed. Advantage us.

My prediction? Shockers win. What is your prediction?

Driving up from Waukee for the game. Sooo excited! Will hopefully be celebrating a Panther win on the way home!

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Couldn't agree more.

For all of us down in DSM: Will there be a game watch at Wellman's this time?

I'd go, but I don't want any of you to kill me.

For real, though, that sounds like fun. Someone set it up.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Stutz had a big game last night, but neither UNI nor Wichita had particularly good games at traditionally tough road arenas. Both won squeakers so it will be interesting to see which team (or both) come out on fire on Wednesday.

Interesting thread - Cedar Falls = "BajaCanada" "Eggoslipper" "NIU" "Wayne State U"

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Interesting thread - Cedar Falls = "BajaCanada" "Eggoslipper" "NIU" "Wayne State U"

"Baja Canada" is somewhat amusing.
"NIU" is just dumb, though I suppose many people that say that (at least on MVC boards) do it intentionally as a disrespect (or just to rile up Panther fans) instead of out of ignorance like ESPN.
"Eggoslipper" is in reference to Jordan, much like folks around here poke fun at other players from rival teams.
"Wayne State" isn't in reference to us at all, but instead they're suggesting that that is what we (or specifically our PA guy) will call Wichita, as evidently their radio or PA guy flubbed our name in the past.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Baja Canada is rather funny, and what did their PA announcer say?

Saying NIU is ridiculous

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

The one poster may have done "NIU" on purpose.

I thought it was a good, realistic fan thread.
