#12 Wichita State @ #18 Northern Iowa, 3 PM Saturday, ESPN2

[SHOXMVC]

Seems that moving to the top of The MVC, is mostly cyclical. (exception may only be DRAKE)
It's SHOX turn to be relevant. In a season or two, they'll be just another school, in the middle of the pack, again.

The SHOX will continue to be "relevant" as long as Marshall is in town, and the cycle will continue. When he leaves, my guess is there will be a long line of quality candidates to keep the "relevant" train going. Maybe we won't win the conference every year, but don't look towards the the "middle of the pack" to find us.

You're right, my bad.
It was a lot easier to find SHOX's place in the standing from 1989-2002, to start at the bottom and work upwards.
Like I said...cyclical.

I don't understand this "cyclical" take from a fan of a school who has an average finish of 7th in this conference the past 10 years, with only 2 upper division finishes, with 4th being the best finish. When is your new cycle going to begin? Exactly how long is a cycle in your opinion?

That guy is a complete moron. It's not even worth wasting your breath.

Dino Gauido on ESPNU just called this game "the biggest in MVC history." Really?

What about #9 WSU hosting #1 Cincinnati, the two-time defending national champion?

Maybe he was just talking about the "ESPN Era of College Basketball".

I would have hated to have been the guy with the pole to push the ball out of the peach basket for that one.

Where would UNI's 1963 squad finished in the MVC that year?

Where would the 2010 UNI team have finished in the 1963 MVC?

Why wasn't UNI in the MVC in 1963?

Good game so far. 16-16 with 11 to go. Tuttle and Baker looking strong but plenty of guys are contributing so far. Fingers crossed for 33 more exciting mins like this

No mention of UNI in that feature on the last two MVC to meet as ranked teams. Doesn't ESPN know those games didn't count?

SHOX looks lost.

Boy, you sure showed us.

I apologize you can't take a simple joke.

How did you enjoy the 1st half? Or did you miss it while whacking off to photos Ralph Miller?

Great play by UNI so far.

WSU's offense just disappeared for a long stretch there -- FVV had the only six points scored in the final 10:22 of the half.

That's excellent defense by UNI, but also terrible offensive production from WSU. A lot of open shots that couldn't fall during that stretch.

I expect WSU to make a run out of the half, but WSU doesn't have the bench to compete with UNI's. It's going to have to be on the back of the starters.

Reminded me of the UNI Evansville first half.

Really?

True colors are starting to come out for the first time in 28 Valley games.
