Re: Archeobracketology

one thing is for sure, we have better odds than ISU or Iowa do to win the respective conference tourney

Re: Archeobracketology

Forget about it. We will not beat Creighton or Bradley.

Just root for a match up with ISU Red or SIU (flying saluki dogs that eat children)

Maybe we shouldn't even send the team to St Louis??

Re: Archeobracketology

No, I am not saying that. I love St. Louis and would be P.O.'d if they didn't go. I already have my hotel booked and my tickets bought.

I am simply stating a fact. WE WILL NOT BEAT CREIGHTON OR BRADLEY!

You know what, rub it in my face if it happens, I don't care. Its just that we haven't done anything in the last few years to prove that we can beat a team like Bradley or Creighton.

Ya ya ya, I know we beat Bradley this year but that simply does not count. (unless Ruffin gets hurt again.)

Re: Archeobracketology

Tonights game between Bradley and ISU blue will have serious Archeobracketology implications.

And Jeg, "We will not beat Creighton or Bradley" is not a FACT

True but the probability is very high. I don't want to see either of those teams in the opening round.

Re: Archeobracketology

1990, March ?, AMCU Championship game. UNI versus Wisconsin-Green Bay for the right to go to the NCAA tourney. Green Bay had beaten UNI 10 straight times. UNI went to the NCAA tourney.

It can, and has, been done.
It can, and will, be done again.


And as for Bradley, I know we beat them once this year, but we also beat them twice last year and only lost in the tourney on a last second shot. We CAN beat Bradley.




We can also lose to Evansville with the consistency that this team plays with.

Of course it can happen. UNI beating Mizzu is another example. However you need to remember that Bradley was a top 3? pick. They are a VERY good team with Ruffin in the lineup and UNI has not shown that they can play with an athletic team like that. I'd rather UNI face SIU or Drake than Creighton or Bradley because they are a bad match up for us. That's all I'm saying.

Re: Archeobracketology

I understand what you're saying.

And while I believe UNI has a good shot to beat SIU, even in Carbondale coming up as long as the officitaing is consistent, I am not real sure I want to play SIU the first day and then have no time for recovering from the bruises, scratches, etc. that are inevitable coming off a game with them. I would, however, love to play the team that knocks SIU out the day after it happens.

I really don't think there is any team in the conference that we can not beat in St. Louis as long as we have the cranial-rectal removal surgery and are playing as we can. If we can stay out of Thursday night, I think we can run the table. But so can 6 or 7 other teams if they can avoid having to play the extra day.

Starts tonight against Wichita. Then we get Drake, after they play SIU.

Re: Archeobracketology

I hope SIU injures Korver, and Young/Emmenecker (sp?) Bulldog nation won't know who to cheer for anymore!

[jegbomb52]

Re: Archeobracketology

If we can stay out of Thursday, which I am very confident in, we have as good a shot as anybody to win the whole thing...

Do you truly believe that Brett? That is simply crazy talk. Do you think that we have a good as chance as Drake who hasn't lost to a Valley School all year? Do you think we have a good as chance as Creighton who not one player on our team knows what it is like to beat them?

Look fella's, I get it. Support your team, yada yada, yada but look at this like it is, an end to a dissapointing year. Hopefully we win a couple down the stretch and maybe we pull one in St. Louis. Thats it, enjoy it, cheer for it and then count down to football season.

Heck, for that matter, count down to next basketball season. We will be terrible in football next year! (its an even year)

Re: Archeobracketology

okay i dont want them to get seriously injured, but it'd be nice to have bulldog nation quieter and "worried" with a star player or two ailing

Talk about Apples to Oranges.

Light year's better team with great leadership and a true POINT GUARD, playing at home on national tv in front of a packed house that was rockin'.

Yeah, totally similar.

Re: Archeobracketology

i thought so.
Its hard even as a coach, and even with a great game plan, to hope something happens to the opposing team to give you the slightest edge u may need. Although serious injury i would never want for anyone.

as a fan who is hating on drakes parade, its just fire under the skin.

Finally, some realistic thoughts. I would like to know what people see in our team this year that makes them think we can win that tournament.
