[SIZE=14pt]UNI men to play at TCU in Challenge Series[/SIZE]

CEDAR FALLS --- The Panthers men's basketball team will play at Texas Christian, in Fort Worth, on Dec. 4.

UNI has never played TCU, which went 13-19 last season.

Late last December, UNI routed Wyoming, 72-54, in the MVC-MWC Challenge.

Last season, the Valley won the series, 5-4. The leagues went on to combine for four NCAA Tournament wins, including two by UNI, which advanced to the Sweet 16.

MVC member Missouri State will not participate in the 2010 Challenge Series.

The Challenge Series is in the second year of a four-year agreement. Below is a list of next year's games:

2010 CHALLENGE DATES (last meeting between the schools)
Dec. 1 BYU at Creighton (last meeting 12/7/2002)
Dec. 1 Drake at Colorado State (last meeting 12/4/2004)
Dec. 1 New Mexico at Southern Illinois (first meeting)
Dec. 1 UNLV at Illinois State (last meeting 1/13/1978)
Dec. 4 Indiana State at Wyoming (last 12/30/2003)
Dec. 4 UNI at TCU (first meeting)
Dec. 4 Utah at Bradley (last meeting 12/4/1992)
Dec. 4 Wichita St. at San Diego St. (last 12/4/1976)
Dec. 5 Evansville at Air Force (only meeting 12/29/1977)

Well chalk up at least one loss. If UNI has Egelseder the 7 footer and Farokmonesh the sharpshooter back, it's gonna be a long day.

What's funny is that Panthernosticator on the UNI board says that nothing says "Bigtime" like a road game against TCU.
