    I would've gladly done a home-and-home with them rather than opening with Coe.

      To be fair to the earlier point, the UNI team that lost those games did not compete for the conference championship.

      I do agree that it's way early to know how good any of these teams are.

        Who has more players currently in the NBA? Wichita State or Murray State?

          Well, WSU has two from last years team alone.

          Morehead State came into the McCleod Center with Kenneth Faried in 2010-2011 and left with a 16 point loss.

          Also, how many NBA players did UNI have last year (or ever) and what was UNI's record against WSU? What about NBA players at Iowa State the last 12 meetings with UNI, and whats the record between the two?

            In the last 20 years, it's two for each school (and they were all recently). Not really something to argue about.

            I get it, UNIDAD - your current ISU coach is the Racers' former head coach and putting down the program and saying they're not competitive seems like putting him down by extension. The two things don't have to go together, though.

            They were 16-0 in their conference and 29-6 overall in Prohm's last year, then fell off dramatically last year at 17-14. That's a positive reflection on Prohm that his successor couldn't keep the momentum going and shows just how much he did with a little there. They're just not the same quality of program now.

            Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
            Victory for U-N-I!

            Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

              It was more about putting Wichita a State in its place! I just happened to know about Murray State because Prohm was from there.

              Tonight I'm all purple and just now heading back to the hotel after scouting OU. Met a couple of good young PantherNation guys.

                Not to nitpick, but six former Shockers in the NBA within the last 20 years:

                Maurice Evans
                Gal Mekel
                Toure Murry
                Cleanthony Early
                Ron Baker
                Fred VanVleet

                  Boy, Wichita is absolutely dominating their competition currently!
                  Another W...116-79!
                  Their closest win was 27 points over Tulsa!
                  They play LSU on Wednesday for their first contest away from home.
                  Right now, Wichita and Missouri State are all undefeated, while Loyola, Evansville, Indiana State, and Bradley are a combine 10-4. Good start so far for the MVC...now it's time to get some P5+BE wins!
                  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.

                    I know it's crazy early but we're 4th in league RPI.

                    Hoping Wichita has a nice showing at Atlantis next weekend and Indiana State is in a good field in Orlando.

                      No votes received in the AP poll this week, I am a little surprised no one had us in their top 25

                        Once McCloud figures out what he can and can't do, we'll be in a good position.
                        Also, even though Ashton is a senior, he hasn't played a ton and he'll grow a lot from these games.

                          Not sure what to make of this yet, other than it's better than losing any of those games. UMES and SC State are known stinkers. Tulsa and LBSU look pretty down. I will say that some very good recent WSU teams have also played some stinkers and not been able to roll up points like this. Excited about the real tests coming this week.

                          Valley seems to be recovering a little from a disastrous opening weekend.

                            I actually think Ashton has played pretty well early in the season. He took some questionable shots Thursday vs ASU, but really came back the next couple games. Very good defensively. I really didn't know much about him before the season started, but if he stays within his game, he'll be an asset.
                            To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

                              UNI got 1 vote in the Coaches Poll this week...or tied for 46th place.
                              UNC was 4th, Xavier was 8th, & Wichita is also RV.

                                I agree with you.
