The previous record was set when Illinois- Chicago tallied a 7-58 win over the Panthers on Feb. 23, 28, in a BracketBusters contest. ROAD WINS AT WICHITA STATE, MIS- SOURI STATE The Panthers are the only Valley school to defeat both Wichita State and Missouri State this season - both on the road. It marks the first time UNI has won at both WSU and MSU since the 26-7 season, head coach Ben Jacobson s first season. FIRST START FOR SONNEN Sophomore guard Marc Sonnen made his first career start for the Panthers vs. Drake (2/5). Sonnen scored six points in a careerhigh 32 minutes of action against the Bulldogs. AGAINST THE NORM The Feb loss by the Panthers at Drake went against the norm when considering a few of the numbers. UNI entered the contest 6- when scoring 6 or more points this season - the Panthers posted 69 against the Bulldogs. UNI also entered the game 8- when Jake Koch scores 2 points or more - he scored 3 against the Bulldogs. UNI was 7-3 when leading at the half - the Panthers led the Bulldogs at the break, UNI had also won four straight games against Drake prior to the Feb. 5 outcome. PANTHERS LOSE O REAR FOR YEAR In the Panthers win over Illinois State (2/2), senior forward Lucas O Rear suffered a fractured right ankle in closing minutes. O Rear snagged an offensive rebound and immediately began hopping on his left leg as he could not put any weight on his right ankle. O Rear had X-rays taken the next day and it revealed a right ankle medial malleolar fracture which will force him to miss the rest of the Panther men s basketball season. O Rear underwent surgery Thursday to fix the fracture. The typical recovery time for this type of injury is 2-3 months. O Rear has played and started in 23 games this season. He is the Panthers leading rebounder at 5.7 per game. O Rear is also averaging a career-best 6.9 points per game this season.

10 Jan. 9 to Feb. 2. Southern Illinois was the last MVC team to accomplish the feat.

UNI sophomore forward Jake Koch s 3-foot 3- point attempt hit the backboard and front rim before missing at the buzzer. Earlier in the week, UNI hung on for a 53-5 victory over Illinois State (Feb. 2). Illinois State grabbed a missed free throw from Kwadzo Ahelegbe with six seconds left but failed to get a shot up as time expired. At Missouri State (Jan. 3), Johnny Moran sank two free throws with 5.2 seconds left to give UNI a one-point lead and MSU s Adam Leonard missed a shot at the buzzer. Previously on Jan. 9 at Wichita State, David Kyles 3-pointer at the buzzer came up short giving UNI a 3-point win over the Shockers, On Jan. 2 in Normal, Ill., the Panthers picked up their first win of the season in a game decided by three points or lesss with a win over the Redbirds. Again the final shot did not go down for Illinois State s Anthony Cousin as he launched a 3-point shot with two seconds left. The ball caromed off the the rim and senior forward Lucas O Rear secured the rebound. It hadn t been that way before the shot by Cousin was off the mark. UNI began Missouri Valley Conference play by losing two games on the final shots of those contests. Milwaukee s Tone Boyle hit a 5-foot jumper with 2.4 seconds to lift UWM to a win over UNI on Nov. 2. Then to open MVC play the Panthers dropped a pair of games in the final seconds. Missouri State s Kyle Weems sank a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left to give the Bears a victory. In Carbondale, SIU s Carlton Fay nailed a twisting fadeaway 7-footer with 2.2 seconds left to edge the Panthers, ROAD RALLY IN SPRINGFIELD For the first time this season, UNI won a game after trailing at the half in its 6-59 victory at Missouri State.

The previous mark of 32 was set by Craig Brackins (Iowa State - Dec. 3, 28). Koch also set the McLeod Center free throw makes and attempts records by draining 5-of-6 against the Braves. Adam Koch, Jake s brother, set his career high with 3 points on Jan. 25, 29 at Missouri State. MORE TIDBITS ABOUT 3-POINT GAMES FOR PANTHERS Koch s 34-point output was the highest for Panther in the scoring column since Jason Daisy also posted a 34-point night on Feb. 5, 997, vs. Southern Illinois. Since joining the Missouri Valley Conference, UNI has had 8 3-plus point games. Only four of those games featured players scoring more than 34 points. The last time 3 different players went for 3 or more points in the same night in the Missouri Valley Conference was Feb. 5, 997 when Danny Moore scored 36 for Missouri State, Rodney Buford scored 3 for Creighton and Jason Daisy scored 3 for UNI. Moore and Buford did it against each other. Since that game (MSU-CU on 2/5/97) the Valley has had two players go for 3 in the same conference game three other times, most recently on 3//8 when Daniel Ruffin of Bradley had 3 and Cavel Witter of Creighton had 42. In fact, including the 2/5/97 game, there have been just times in which 2 league players reached 3 or more on the same night (from that season until present).

16 FIELD SET FOR THIRD ANNUAL CIT BOSTON (MA) -- The field for the 2 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) was announced on Sunday evening. The 24-team field features schools from 5 different conferences, including Conference USA, Missouri Valley and the Mountain West Conference. We are extremely pleased with the field we have assembled for the 2 CIT, said Riley Wallace who is the chairman of the selection committee. I think the committee did an outstanding job of identifying teams early on, which made the process easier. The majority of the field was already in place on Friday, with programs like Air Force, Furman, East Tennessee State, Iona, Marshall, Northern Iowa, Portland, Rider, Santa Clara SMU and Valparaiso all committing well in advance of selection Sunday. Some schools were still hopeful of a spot in the NIT, which is something that Wallace and the selection committee fully understood. We want programs to get into the NCAA or the NIT, said Wallace. When we started this tournament three years ago we did so with the idea that we can provide teams with a postseason opportunity. Our message to the schools was that if the NCAA or NIT didn t happen the CIT was an option for them. Teams like East Tennessee State, Iona, Marshall, Northern Iowa, Portland, Rider and Valparaiso all had resumes worthy of NIT consideration. Established in 29 with 6 teams, the tournament expanded to 24 this season. The reasoning behind the expansion was based on the great number of deserving teams that were still left out of the postseason. We have looked at a 24-team field since the first tournament in 29, said Wallace. Last season teams like Iona, Maine, Campbell, Radford and others all had outstanding seasons, but didn t receive an invitation for postseason. With so many bowl games in college football the idea of adding eight more teams to our tournament was the right move. All 24 teams will compete in the first round, with four teams then getting a bye into the quarterfinals. The eight remaining teams will play for the right to advance to the quarters. The entire field will be seeded, based on a number of factors including RPI, strength of schedule, conference ranking, and geographic location.
