Doesn't Oklahoma get the one seed? They were a higher seed in the tourney and made it further than us.

ESPN Tournaments go strictly by RPI.

Looking up those number totally reopened the wound, btw...

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

it is part of the MVC-MWC challenge, Indiana State hosts Wyoming, the other matchups haven't been revealed yet.

I hope your right. But I thought it was weird that UNI was getting 100k and 50 tickets. That's 10k more than what UNM is paying Rice for a buy game.

Where did you see that?

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

man if things fall a certain way in Shockerland...the MVC could be wide open next year.

What we know...WSUs top 2 assistants (Forbes and Jans) are gone. Marshall will get plenty of offers and is at a point in his age and career if he doesn't go to a bigger job now, he might not get another shot anytime soon. (He's 52 or 53).

They are (2) over the scholarship limit. Someone(s) won't be coming back.

Status of Fred and Ron still up in the air.

Didn't one of his assistants leave last off season, meaning they were already without him this year?

Also, I expect Baker and FVV to be back for the reasons I state above. I also don't think FVV has much of a choice to leave, unless he's just sick of school and really wants to go play in Europe. He's not currently talented enough to play in the NBA.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Baker is graduating this spring FWIW. He definitely has no reason to stay

I heard that too. His incentive to stay is improving his draft position. I hope for the conference's sake he does it.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Baker and FVV aren't going anywhere and WSU will be loaded again next year.

I believe this is right. I think Jans was at Bowling Green this year.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

maybe since he's graduating..he'll go to Iowa State and take Custer's spot

I could see that happening, or something like it if Marshall leaves.

UNI will dance next year, MARK IT! the gut said yes thanks SUB CITY.

Pretty sure this game is not part of the MWC/MVC challenge.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

I doubt that UNI vs UNM is part of MVC/MWC challenge.

However the coaching staff is comprised next season, they’ll have a tougher nonconference slate of games to deal with than this past season. UNM will host Northern Iowa, who finished this season ranked No. 11 and went 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament, and Rice in December, while also playing a road game at Big Ten school Purdue in Neal’s home state of Indiana.

On Thursday, UNM released the financial details of those agreements in response to an open records request by the Journal. To go to Purdue, UNM receives $90,000, one night lodging and 50 complimentary tickets. To come to Albuquerque, Rice gets $90,000 with 50 tickets, and Northern Iowa will receive $100,000 with 50 tickets.

BTW, Illinois State is now rumored to be playing at San Diego State next year. So maybe these games are all part of the Challenge after all.

I'm not a fan of this thinking. The best way for UNI to stay hungry & to continue moving the talent level upward is to have a strong Wichita...especially w/ Creighton's defection. The better the top is, the better UNI is.
