I live in Cedar Falls and have not received my season tickets. Should I be nervous?

Maybe you were going to get a personal delivery and you weren't home. Not sure what they would do then. I'd call and find out where they are.

Very likely it was a personal delivery (first time ticket holder by chance?) They were leaving signs/posters saying they missed you if nobody was home......would guess they would mail them out after that.

We got ours last Sat.

UNI picked 3rd in the conference on a Media Day, behind Wichita and Evansville. Wes preseason All-Conference honorable mention.

Was able to hear a little of coach Jake on OPR yesterday. Sounds like Paul still is not practicing and he did not indicate when he would be.

This is a problem. Especially so with Carlson being suspended for the 1st three (very hard) games.

November 1 has been the target date from the start. While it's concerning he's not practicing yet, I'll be a lot more worried if we get past that date without him working out.

Didn't they say that it would be 6 to 8 weeks with the 6 weeks being roughly end of Oct.?

Doesn't look like there is any broadcast of the exhibition games? With all the new faces, I was really hoping to see how everyone looked, oh well.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Some very quick observations from the exhibition tonight:

I thought Ted and Arias looked good. PJ was still in a boot. Luke and Spencer got the most minutes of Freshmen.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Starting five were: Wes, Bo, Wyatt, Jeremy, Bennett

A lot is going to depend on Wes' play from watching tonight. He will be the catalyst.

Bo, Morgan, Wyatt will all be solid as expected. Aarias has some nice talent-quick, long, looks like a good stroke/touch, if he can gel quick with the offensive sets and defensive rotations, he will make a difference.

Ted and Koch both looked okay. Ted showed a little more offense, but was up against much smaller players. Bennett is more athletic but couldn't get space when he was in-still not real strong. Carlson looks to be able to fill some minutes nicely down low but wasn't looking much on offense.

Haldeman looked really heady and will be a nice player, don't see the minutes for him with our guards. McDonnell looked decent but made a few weak passes that were stolen, needs to be more assertive. Dahl is a big guy bts needs the game to come to him and was out his element with no one close to him size wise. Conrey played hard for his few minutes. Don't know what the future holds for him, but if he gives that effort, he'll find his way on the floor for us.

A lot will depend on quickly Paul Jesperson comes back. With Carlson out for 3 games, we may have to use McDonnell to have depth.

Paul wasn't in a boot when the team walked through the dome yesterday after practice in the rec center, so I would guess that he will be good to go on the 14th.

I thought Ted looked light years ahead of where he was 2 years ago, looked confident in his ability. Bennett looked better as well, but it was against undersized posts so take it for what it is worth.

It wouldn't surprise me if the plan is to redshirt all four of the freshman except in the case of an injury and then McDonnell would be the only one I see playing, truthfully he looks like a really tall 8th grader. Dahl is a big boy, but isn't ready for Valley play, Haldeman could fit into Bo's spot, and Conrey could be a contributor in time.

Finally I think Arias could be a spark off of the bench this year.

I think this showed that Dahl is going to redshirt and McDonnell is the most likely to see action if required due to injury. Ted and Koch are growing into the position but UNI wins off the guards this year. The game will have to be outside-in. Let's hope that Paul gets healthy quick and doesn't rush back early.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Last two posts are spot on.

Would like to see Ted & Bennett in together some - rebounds.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Austin tweeted about Jesperson being back at practice fwiw.

Dickie V has us in this field, it gives no seeds but he has us and Wichita out of the Valley.
