Outside of UNI's roster, I haven't had this much trouble figuring out how to sound out a player's name since Wichita State recruited Gal Mekel.


I believe it is "Etch-in-eek-ay."

And this year the Jays also have "Jaw-hands" Manigat.

Why do you think UNI has put so much emphasis on the "team" concept the past few years? We don't really buy that stuff, we're just lazy and don't want to learn to spell our own players names! :D

I don't have his stats from rutgers, but I thought I read that FT shooting was an issue for him. Is that right?

I was joking guys. He looks to be a good addition for Creighton, although the Jays are not anywhere even remotely close to being a favorite team of mine.

Nice story on Greg Echenique

Yes and no.

It's the message board to discuss all of the MVC.

We're hoping it doesn't become as much of a trash talk forum as ValleyTalk became where every thread went off-topic real quick.
