Yep, the league (and ESPN and CBS) clearly thinks the Top 4 are those 4 teams. I feel the same way with Southern just a tick below. Murray and Missouri State are wildcards because they've got dudes but those dudes aren't going to be exceptionally well coached and they've never played together. -
I hate the Drake games during the middle of the week, but I also get it financially. Our likelihood of selling a bunch of tickets mid-week or weekend for that game are both relatively high. Probably not the case for any other teams we face in the league.Comment

We're going! Surprising our kids the week of with a trip to the city, some UNI bball and the Zoo Christmas lights tour that night. Would like to thank everyone involved for scheduling this game on my birthday and giving me an awesome way to celebrate.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post
"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

The season can't start soon enough...Comment

Another national TV game.
Our game at Virginia will tip at 7:00 central time on the ACC Network.
Valley TV schedule should be out next week or the week after and I expect several more ESPN and CBS Sports Net appearances in addition to MVC-TV.Comment

We've got game times for all of the non-conference home games other than St Bonaventure which makes me believe that CBS Sports Net may be looking at that one
Didn't realize we've got two doubleheaders with the women so the men's games will tip at 7:30 after (I'm guessing) a 4:00 women's game.Comment

The league ESPN schedule is out.
They're doing it a little differently this year. No pre-determined games and they'll assign games to ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN+ 14 days before the game. If the year goes how it should, we should see multiple appearances as usual.
They also released they league produces ESPN+ schedule and we've got 4 appearances there.
The CBS Sports Net schedule will be out tomorrow, the MVC-TV schedule on Thursday and then anything that doesn't get picked up there will be school produced ESPN+ broadcasts.Comment

No pre-selected games on CBS Sports Net but they are doing the same thing they did with ESPN and selecting the games for those time slots 14 days in advance. Possibilities reflected in original post.Comment

They're also using the wildcard selections for weekend MVC-TV games.
Both Drake games are pre-selected MVC-TV games tipping at 8:00.
I'm good with needing to play well to make sure you get seen. It's best for the league.Comment

Secret scrimmage vs Wisconsin on October 23rd at Dubuque.Comment

I think we've got TV for everything except the game in Chicago which should land on a streaming service somewhere I'd think.Comment

I project 21-12 for the season and 4th place MVC finish. This would assume an effective Phyfe. This would include non-league losses to Richmond, Virginia, WSU, and St Boneventure. This is a young team with a tough schedule. I estimate a semi-final loss in St Louis.
Drake
Bradley
Belmont
Northern Iowa
SIU
Missouri State
Murray State
Indiana State
UIC
Valpo
Illinois State
Evansville
I would guess 21-12 would be on the fence for the last at-large to the NIT, but think we're short. We'll see.
