Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Oral Roberts is running away with tail between legs from Summit (they went from getting 8-10 ncaa bids across the sports to 1-2 last 2 years) to the southland (mainly for baseball)

Would MVC ever ever ever consider NDSU? granted our bball arena needs to get done first. Any discussion of this at MVC media day?

Actually, its funny that you ask that. There were several questions today at MVC media day about NDSU. It was one of the main topics of the day.

In fact, several coaches and administrators were quoted as saying that they did not believe that the Missouri Valley Conference was going to be sustainable or viable long term without the admission of North Dakota State.

I'd expect an invite real soon if I were you guys.

NO. We built an on campus arena to play in, we don't rent.

My mistake. Thought I saw that posted somewhere.

The e-mail from Panther PALS today had attached tickets coupons for the two exhibition games. The first ticket states that the game this Sunday is to be played at McElroy Auditorium in Waterloo???? Anyone else notice this? I'm sure it's a typo - isn't it??

They attempted to schedule it at McElroy but it didn't work out. Sunday's game is at the McLeod.

Panthers could possibly be playing Duke next season?

Next year, all 10 Valley teams are set to compete in the tournaments, and Elgin is hopeful that more of them will move towards the ones that feature every game on national TV, such as the 76 Classic. The Panthers will play in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas in a field that includes Duke.

That field will be loaded...UNI might be the 7th most recognizable name in that tourney. It's going to be crazy...

This would be sick. Especially considering the skill and experience from this season.

For just playing in the Battle 4 Atlantis tourney it says teams are guaranteed $2,000,000.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

No way...that's awesome. Sure hope that's true

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

That's $2 million split 8 ways isn't it? That's a hell of a deal playing in that tourney regardless of the money, but the money is nice. I can't find the field other than UNI, Duke, and Louisville. Just beating those 2 would be a great start to the preseason. Nice early winter trip too.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Beating Duke & Louisville would be a great season at that.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

I think its $2 million per team. Great payday, great challenge.

I have no proof or anything but I heard that two other teams were VCU and Stanford when I heard this rumor a couple weeks ago.
