How lucky have we been this year on the road? Second straight were the other team was without their leading scorer and third on the season.

66-60 UNI wins

That first half for MoSt had to be so painful. They played terrific on offense and were still down by six. And had no chance at keeping up with the Shockers in the second half.

The WSU walkons/deep bench actually extended the lead on MoSt to 23 in the final minutes.

WSU's MOV over Valley teams now at 14.3 through seven.

FVV making his case for 2nd Team All-Valley.

Big game tonight in CF on ESPNU. I'm interested in seeing ISUb and determining for myself if they've actually improved by leaps and bounds since the non-con or if it's more of a result of favorable scheduling. Go Panthers!

What's the verdict? Looked like ISUb is for real from the box score, but obviously I didn't watch.

Another blowout win on the road for WSU.

The consolation prize for MSU fans is that they got to go home with some really cool t-shirts.

Still got to execute. Plus, IIR, Thomas is the leading scorer for the Ramblers this year.

Lansing knows what he's doing. Not sure what happened in the first 12 games but that was another solid ISUb team. Gant did a solid job on Tuttle (as usual), Scott is the best freshmen I've seen play this year and somehow, in the matter of 2 weeks, Panther fans have gone from asking why Deon Mitchell plays at all to asking why he doesn't play more. #3 team in the Valley based on their solid and consistent play since MVC play began.


I personally believe Deon helps us continue to widen that lead if he doesn't sit for most of the 2nd half and Washpun and Bohannon play for defense. Clearly the D wasn't good enough and Deon just keeps pushing that pace better than Wes. UNI starts blowing leads when they lay off the gas. This almost always lines up with Deon seeing extended minutes on the bench. Thing is he's a pretty good defender too (well frankly UNI doesn't have many kids who aren't solid defenders).
