UNI’s ultimate glue guy who powered a historic Sweet 16 run
In the 2009-10 season, Adam Koch was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and the engine of UNI’s breakout team, leading the Panthers to their first Sweet 16 and wins over UNLV and No. 1 Kansas. His calling card was winning without flash: smart positioning, toughness, elite free-throw shooting, and a high-intensity, team-first style that coaches love. He also brought uncommon durability and consistency, finishing his UNI career with 1,186 points and 446 free throws made. If you want a forward who elevates a winning culture, Koch is the real deal.
