UNI/Kansas

AZ BU Fan said:
Re 'Major League', "I say, up yours, Seth Davis!!"

UNI kicked the poobahs at the NCAA and CBS in the cajones with their blitzkreig of the mighty J-Hawks. Redemption for the bogus 9 seed from the NCAA who hoped would wipe out a top 25 MVC team in the second round. Great for the Valley! Run the table UNI....

The MVC out to take out TV advertising on CBS during the next round of the NCAA's when UNI plays listing the Valley school's NCAA Tourney successes in the past 10 years by UNI, Creighton, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Wichita State. Aim it at high school players as a recruiting tool for the Valley....throw in athletic highlights from various former and current Valley players, with references to Valley players in the NBA, POB, Korver, etc. and get some EXPOSURE!! Use some of UNI's NCAA payout and other Valley Teams NIT payouts to help pay for the ads!!

Let's hope UNI can't cash in on their NCAA sweet 16 run with a slew of good recruits that will have them on top in the MVC out into the future.

Mid majors should propose to the NCAA mandatory home and home scheduling of mid majors by BCS and Big East teams if they want to qualify for at large bids in the tourney in the future! Need to strike while public sentiment is high for mid majors having success in the tourney and sympathy for getting shafted by the 4,5,6,7,8 place teams in the BCS conferences.

Well said!
 
Wow:!: What a game:!:
I took my wife to the river boat in Bettendorf Iowa today. Gave her some change, and went directly to my favorite watering hole (SPORTS FANS) by 11:30. GREAT PLACE for food and cold BEER'S:lol: All (6) young lady barmaids ;-) Had some cold ones and watched the St.Marys game. Had some more cold ones and watched the Butler game. Then I watched the Northern Iowa game, had a bunch more cold beers with a lot of their fans. Met some good NIU fans who I told I was a BU fan, and they just had to buy me more cold ones after the great win:lol: I had a great time and my wife can vough for me on it:lol:
Anyway what a great game NIU played:!: And what about Farokhmanesh and the play of Egelseder. I for one thought Egelseder would get his lunch today by Aldrich, who I considered one of the best BIG MEN in college. Those 3 point shots by Egel. was just about more than the place could take. Then that last 3 point shot by Farokhmanesh that iced it, had to be one of the greatest I have ever seen as he could of pulled up and went for a set play shot. Unbelievable!
NOW, I ASK YOU HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE BIGS AT THE 4 and 5 THAT CAN PLAY AND WHAT IT DOES FOR THE GUARDS:!: LOOK AT ST. MARYS, BUTLER AND NIU:!: IN OTHER WORDS, A INSIDE/OUTSIDE GAME CAN MAKE A TEAM THE BETTER:!:

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

When we were watching the game, we came up with Tulsa as the answer from back in the mid 90's when they went to the sweet 16 back to back years after winning in St. Louis. The two years SIU went to the sweet 16, Creighton was the conference tournament champion. SIU was the 2006 tournament champion when BU and WSU made it. Somebody other than Southwest Missouri State won the tournament in '99 when Steve Alford took them to the sweet 16 (CU would be my guess).

Edit: After being forced to look it up, Tulsa was not the answer.

And more garbage.........

"We worked so hard for this all year, and to have a team that is not better than us come out and beat us, it's tough," said Kansas forward Marcus Morris.

Kansas has a bunch of thugs so, who really cares what they have to say? They are a bunch of sore losers regardless.
 
Even Vitale said last nite...."this is whats great about the NCAA...every team has a chance in a one and done format, this isn't the NBA where they play the best of 7 where UNI would have had NO chance."

Oh really......
 
He probably wouldn't be saying that if it had been his favorite Duke team. But I don't think DV likes Self or Kansas so much. :D
 
In a premium Rivals article on the Kansas site...there an entire discussion about how the kids on the Kansas team have
worked "so hard" and to..........
"go through so much adversity that we did through individuals on our team and whatnot"..
that they really deserved to go out as champions...they deserved BETTER!!!
Then they kinda hint at all the "adversity" those poor Jayhawks have had to put up with...
-the riots on campus that the basketball players were the instigators
-the arrests of several players for shooting guns on campus, DUIs, and then the lawsuit against Sherron Collins for sexual assault...
-all the negative press and intense pressure they get just because they are Kansas
-how they land such top recruits that some leave for the NBA and don't stay around for all their eligibility

Cole Aldrich says...
"Sherron and I have gone through so much, you know, ...(this) just saddens me. ..it's disappointing that we couldn't...go out in a better way.

Hey -- I have an idea...since they have gone through so much, maybe we should give them a special participation award...

Self Outcoached

Self Outcoached

One thing that was accurate in this article was the description of Bill Self. He was CLEARLY outcoached by Jacobsen. Every time the camera panned to Self during the game he had a look of anger and disgust -- constantly berating his players. Every time you saw Jacobsen he was cool, calm, and collected -- just like his players. I particularly loved his reaction when O'Rear air-balled that free throw early in the game. I think his attitude just carried over to his player and they played the game free and easy with nothing to lose.

That was great:lol: Like what the Hell Luke, what was that, OK lets go:lol: Also he did not pull him.
 
I liked that reaction too and no water bottle ended up on the court ;) I want to add my congratulations to UNI. It was a fun game to watch and they never trailed expect for 2-0 at the start. Go Panthers!! :-D

I tried to use a smiley face but you had used the alloted number...so here's one for ya.

???Next to my son dying, this is probably the worst thing that has happened in my life,??? Collins whispered to reporters.

Wow. I hope he is not seriously comparing these two things.

As much as I do not care for Collins I'd suspect his words were not really in comparing the two but trying to put some understanding on how he felt in the moment. Then again this is Kansas and to me starting with Self they have not shown too much class this year.
