Which regular season would you rather have? WSU or UNI

[Snaggletooth]

Mvc tournament is not part of the regular season.

everyone in the conference makes the postseason.
wee! participation ribbons and juiceboxes for everyone!

Exactly - remember when not every team made the post-season in baseball and they only top 6 team? They ended that because it was embarrasing for certain schools because the only way they got to post season play was to host the tournament.

Weak troll attempt.

To quote Happy Gilmore "who give a $hit" I will root almost as hard for the panthers as I do for the shockers in the tourney. The "power 5" is the enemy not our own Valley brothers. Why try and start a pissing match?

But if you want to compare weiners then...WSU last 5 years:
Final Four
NIT national champions
Undefeated Season
#1 seed in NCAAs
4th straight tourney appearance
National Coach of the Year
all-Americans
On and on....

Now you go

As a MIssori State alum and fan, I'll take the team with the auto-bid. Thanks

Subtracting the MVC Tournament, which was the author's statement, WSU wins this poll.

17-1 or 16-2. Hmm.

[DUShock]

As of the date of the question WSU's "regular season" and UNI's "post season".

Go Valley!

Go Shocks!!

Despite the trollish nature to this thread, my serious answer would be that I'd take UNI's season. It's close, but they had the better year.

And damn I'm glad they did -- they made the MVC relevant this year, in a way WSU dominating last year could never do. It's going to be interesting to see if they can maintain next year or have to go into a rebuilding period without Tuttle. If Jacobson's going to be able to build a perennial 25 game winner at UNI moving forward, that will be tremendous for the conference.

We will without a doubt take a big step back next year. Every UNI fan knew this was the year and if we didn't make it special, the NCAA drought was going to continue for at least another couple years. My best guess is we will be a bubble team or NIT team next year unless we have an unexpected impact player in the front court. Our backcourt will be fairly solid with everyone but Deon returning.

Fortunately the year turned out 10x better than even the most optimistic UNI fans predicted. I really wish we had a scholly open for a potential transfer this off season. We have some obvious holes to fill next year and UNI's stock has never been higher. It's possible someone buried on the bench decides to hang it up and something opens up, but I'm not counting on it.

That's about exactly my expectation for UNI. Although I'll be very surprised, and very happy, if they're a bubble team.

Washpun's definitely the real deal, though. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the bigger role next year.
