UNI/Kansas

[Da Coach]

Is that the first time an MVC team has made it to the Sweet 16 since Larry Bird's Sycamores?

I thought he said the Valley has not had a team in the Sweet 16 since Larry Bird and Indiana State 1979?
How about 2006 Sweet 16 with Bradley and Wichita State!

That is what he said. I had to rewind it twice...unbelievable disrespect.

Congrats to UNI & their fans - I'm guessing Bill Self is getting a little tired of losing to Valley teams!

They sort of corrected it after commercial and then proceeded to get it wrong again. ***** research department.

UNI bringing in the $$$$ to the Valley.....1 million at a time!

My GF yelled at me to quite it down and said,"You would have thought Bradley was playing."

 

[Big Mike]

After the commercial he came back with.....only one Valley team has been to the final 4 with 1979 Larry Birds Indiana State.....:lol:

My roomates who don't follow nor understand sports....are all like "what the hell is going on...." They think I am pissed about something...because I was yelling.

He later said "last Valley team that won the conference tournament" as a qualifier for that.

OMG my voice is going to need a day or two to recover after this game!

Congrats to UNI!

Apparently 0.9% of the brackets on ESPN had UNI making the Sweet Sixteen :twisted: Too bad I didn't.

Mine was one... hehehe


Also, Kansas led at 2-0, and did not lead again the entire game.

 

[FutureBrave2013]

Anyone who had seen UNI play this season knew this was possible. After watching them play three times in St. Louis I knew it could happen.

 

[Da Coach]

Now Verne Lundquist says Adam Koch is a 2-time MVC Player of the Year!?
When did he win the award before this year?

2010-Koch
2009-Woodfox
2008-Emmenecker
2007-Tatum

unbelieveable how unprepared and how many mistakes those guys made.

 

[real fan]

This is why the BCS teams do not want to play the mids, UNI outplayed Kansas most of the game and even with the refs refusing to call the obvious fouls being committed by Kansas toward the end UNI still wins, congratulations to UNI for beating the no.1 seed of the tournament and making all of us in the Valley proud.

hope they dont give it away

THREE mid-majors already in the Sweet 16! I'm going to love listening to the talking heads explain it away.....or protest that we got (gasp!) six at-large teams in.
