Looking ahead - predictions for 2012-13

[valleychamp]

UNI's schedule next year so far:

Milwaukee-Home
George Mason-Road (return BB from 11)
Virginia Commonwealth-Home (possible return from this year's BB)
UNLV-Road (MVC-MWC)
Iowa or Iowa State-"neutral" apparently
St. Mary's-Home
Ohio-Road
Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament (Duke, Louisville, Missouri, Memphis, Minnesota, Stanford, VCU)

I'm thinking the schedule has a chance to be decent, hopefully the team can be ready for it.

I doubt VCU will play UNI next year, The Shockers play their BracketBuster return game against them next year. Other than that, looks like a great schedule.

What does them playing WSU have to do with it?

The BB return games skip a year. VCU should play UNI in the 13-14 season.

[valleychamp]

It doesnt "skip a year". It just has to be returned within 2 years.

Top Tier:
CU, ISUR, DU, UNI

Middle:
UE WSU, ISUB

Bottom:
MSU, BU, SIU

We have seen BB teams wanting to avoid playing WSU, but that might not be the case with UNI.

UNI will end up playing at least 8 games against current NCAA Tournament teams, not including possible teams from the Atlantis tournament, and the unclear situation with VCU and Iowa State. Hopefully they can have similar OOC season success to this season but keep up that success in the MVC season. I really wish the season started today

[Wufan]

How do we lose the most? We lose a PG who couldn't score if there was a group of 3 year olds guarding him, a weak center who played like a bad SG, and a senior 'face of the program' that quits halfway through the season...





I mean.......

Yes, and you didn't have a back-up center, PF, or PG. Those were your best three players, they had zero back-up, and now they are gone. It's a little sad to see you dog your three seniors that way, but...

Kyle obviously best player and Caleb was a good scorer but any talk of our best players includes Anthony Downing and Jarmar Gulley who will both be back. Those 2 along with Pickens, Kirk and Scheer will be a good start and hopefully some of the recruits are ready to play. We will be competitive again.

Yes, I'm sure they are all terrified, as evidenced by WSU's sterling record in the Bracketbusters.

I'm confused by your point. It seems like a dig at UNI but considering the fact that they have been more successful than the Shockers in recent years I'm not sure what you are getting at. The petty knocks on each others teams are very entertaining children.
