    Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL

    I think we should play all of our recruiting opponents on a regular basis. Maybe it isn't feasible to play all of them every year, but 2 out of 4-5 years should be sufficient.

    Our non-conference schedule should include a rotation of:

    Minnesota
    Wisconsin
    Marquette
    Illinois
    Southern Illinois
    Iowa
    UNI
    Drake
    Missouri State
    Creighton

    I think we should all expect to be good enough in a few years to beat or be equal with all of these teams. And what better way to show recruits how we compare the others in our area.

    Only comment I've got is Iowa, UNI, and Drake won't be in the "rotation" because they'll be on the schedule every year (IMO the definition of rotation is on the sked one year, off the next. Those three teams we'll be playing every year). Otherwise, I love the idea.

    Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL

    I would love to see Creighton back on the schedule. I went to a game over in Omaha when we played them there, and it was great to see an away game. Lots of ISU fans there. I think they would make a natural rival.

    Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL

    I too would like to see the series renewed...I don't think we'd be able to get a team with that much success to just play us at Hilton, I think it would have to be a home-away series, but it could turn into a nice little rivalry and an annual solid nonconference opponent...10-15 years ago when we were playing them in omaha, the risk of what a loss to them would do to our tourney resume far outweighed the perks of beating them...but they have definately garnered enough national respect to be considered a quality win now, and it's no longer embarrasing if we lose to them...the same goes with UNI now imo, thanks to McDermott...Drake is another story-although the talent has went up a little there the last couple years.

    I was going to say, it's really no longer embarrassing to lose to HALF of the teams in the MVC (Creighton, SIU, Bradley, Missery St, No. Iowa, Wichita St, etc). Then again, losing to the other half is VERY embarrasing.

    Who cares, I would care about playing Creighton as much I would Ogallala State. Playing any basketball team in the state of Nebraska is non-thrilling.

    Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL

    I wouldn't mind doing a home and home with Creighton, it's be an away game I could conceivably go see easily.

    However... if we're going to do home and home's, I'd rather play BCS conference teams.

    Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL

    We should play Creighton every year, the fans deserve to see ISU play good teams that are nearby... who wants to see us play Middle Tennessee St. and Coppin St???

    Minnesota every year is a no-brainer as well.
