UNI has an all time .763 winning % in the Mcleod Center (opened in 2006).


In the 56 years WSU has played in Charles Koch Arena (Henry Levitt Arena) their record is 616-217. If my math is right that is a winning percentage of .739. Since they moved into the renovated Charles Koch in 2003 they are 102-30 that breaks down to .772.

And Aargh wonders why every thread turns into Shocker bashing...read the previous posts and you have your answer.

I would have to say that this year UNI is the game that gives me the heebie jeebies.

I was just replying to the UNI home record they provided. Not trying to turn this into a WSU pumping the chest, I would be curious to know every other Valley members home record over the last decade or so. I would bet Creighton and SIU are very high as well.

Not sure why but UNI always struggles in the state of Indiana.

It was a new year last year also. A question was asked and I answered it based on the not too distant past

:D If the game would have been on the weekend, I would have made the trip for sure. Its a little too long of a drive on a weeknight. I don't remember alcohol being served there anyway (except for the room behind the basket opposite the students -- what is that room anyway?). If I was going, I would let you know. I always like to meet up with internet adversaries. I've had a great time over the years with SIU people that I met through the old Valleytalk in the height of the CU-SIU rivalry. Maybe we'll give it a shot in St Louis?

I thought you were the one who had offered to buy drinks though? :D

:Cheers:
