I'm with you 100%, that is what I got. I would guess the BracketBuster game is on the road.
Does SIU-Ed'ville come to Milwaukee again. Was that a 2 for 1?

[PantherU]

I believe so, but I don't know if we're taking that home game this year or next.

One thing Jeter has made a constant push to do is pump our schedule with NCAA Tournament teams. Last year: Wisconsin, Marquette, Western Kentucky, North Dakota State, plus Butler and Cleveland State in-conference. I imagine the phone call to Northern Iowa happened about five minutes after they won the MVC tourney.

not sure how jeter had control over getting any of those games....

contracts with uw and mu have been in place for years.... butler and cleveland state are conf teams and you have to play them... nd state was the guaranteed return of the bracketbuster... and w. kentucky was from the preseason nit, not like we asked them to be the opponent.

We should be playing the OVC, MVC and MAC teams more often.

Not sure that Niagara game is going to be returned next year. They would like to find another team in that region of the country to play on that trip.

Agreed. This was a good get for a home and home series, and UNI's recent success should be good for attendance.


A win would likely mean a solid RPI boost.This will be a good team next year, and for many years to come. The younger Kuch looked like he is ready to jump right in to brothers shoes.

I listened to the podcast of Rob Jeter, I'm gitty in having Northern Iowa coming to the Cell next year. There is no hotter mid-major team other than Butler in America. With UNI, MU, Butler and UWGB all at the Cell next season I hope it can be a big year though the gate. The front office needs to push hard for new season ticket holders and get the ones they lost back.

The TV adds nedd to say UNI, Marquette and Butler not just the phone number.

[PantherU]

I cut the interview down to just Jeter's segment, and it's on the front page of PantherU.com

Per Kevin O'Connor's release, the Panthers host Western Michigan next year at The Cell.

Next years's home games 9 HL games, MU, UNI, BGSU, Western Michigan gives the Panthers 13 home games and I would guess 2 exhibition games. Were at the same number of homes games as last season. I would guess they will try to add one more home game.

[Pounce Needs Pals]

RPI's- UNI 17, MU 50, BG 188, Western Michigan 149.

I wonder what the road games will be?

EDIT: Changes Portland's postseason tournament from NIT to CIT

The schedule is now nearly complete.

We'll play in the Athletes in Action Basketball Classic on Nov. 12-14 against Florida Atlantic, UC Davis and at Portland, a CIT team in 2010.

By my count, we're looking for no more than three games for the upcoming season, probably one home and two away. We're getting closer by the day to having no non-D1 games. That's a very good thing.
