Re: Next up: Iowa State

Floyd and Eustachy were phenomenal coaches and ISU was on its way very high with those two. Eustachy knew it too, thats why he partied hardy! The recruits they brought in were absolutely outstanding.

that is the first post you have ever made that I agree with. Of course they went back down the toilet where they came form after eusatchy left.

Johnny Orr was a good coach too, he was the creator of Hilton Magic.
Morgan wasn't a bad coach, in his 3 years he took ISU to the final 4 in the NIT and second round of the NCAA tourny and had an all time record at ISU of 55-39. He was also the last coach in all of Iowa to win an NCAA tournament game. It was just the way things went down (possible recruiting violations?? not sure if that was ever true or not) and his lack of defense and "streetball" type style that didn't sit well with some people.
GMAC is still under the jury right now as his first 3 seasons have been under par. He needs to make some noise this year.

Re: Next up: Iowa State

Living in Green Bay I've listened to a similar argument involving Mike Holmgren. People were angry that he wanted to be both a coach and general manager. Some people wanted to unname Holmgren Way. I never understood the anger. He took the Packers to back to back Super Bowls, and won one. Say thank you Mike.

It's the same with McDermott. He took over a program few wanted to coach. I remember Brad Soderberg after losing the Wisconsin job saying he didn't want to coach at UNI because you couldn't win in Cedar Falls.

He built a program to the point it had never been. The only thing he never achieved someone before him had was winning an NCAA Tournament game. He helped recruit the core of last season's team. His son, a Top 150 recruit, is coming to play at UNI. Say thank you Greg.

Re: Next up: Iowa State

You believe that Iowa State is "better things"?

Of course it is.

Any level headed UNI fan knows ISU has more history and success than UNI in basketball.

No question.

Re: Next up: Iowa State

i would say that ISU has the best history in the state. iowa hasnt wont he big ten in 30 years.

UNI hoops was a complete trackwreck, with the exception of a couple years, until Mac arrived. it is foolish to think otherwise.

WTF is a trackwreck?

UNI has had spurts of success in basketball, usually associated with a few good coaches-Norm Stewart, Jim Berry in the transition period, Eldon Miller from 88-02, the last few Mac years to present.

Re: Next up: Iowa State

Mark it down. Iowa State will beat UNI by 15+. You guys are delusional if you think UNI can pull this one out. Given the circumstances no way this games close inside the last 10 minutes of the game. Be interesting to see the excuses after you guys get beat by this "Horrible coach".

Re: Next up: Iowa State

I would be shocked to see ISU win by that much and I could definitely see us losing. The hubris of ISU fans this year (even after losing to NW?) does amuse me somewhat. Granted I was a true believer until we started playing some good teams. And IMO UNI will easily be the best team we've played all year.

I doubt we win by 15+, and I bet it comes down to the last 4-5 minutes. I think it will be close throughout, but we slowly start pulling away in the second half. It really depends on Brackins does and how well we can shoot the 3 ball.

Re: Next up: Iowa State

It definitely could be a 15 point+ game...but I'm not sure it would totally surprise me if it was either team with the win / loss. Both teams have shown they are capable of great games and not so great games. If one comes out hot and the other is off, then it could get ugly early. I give the edge to ISU (painful to say), but I think the fact that it really is a big "?" as to who might pull out the victory is what makes it so fun and so anticipated. I think this shows that UNI really has achieved a sort of equal footing with our brothers in the state...no matter the sport anymore. It's great to be a Panther!

Re: Next up: Iowa State

This always happens every time we play Iowa or Iowa State in football or basketball. They have more tradition, more money, bigger fanbases and they can offer more resources to their coaches. If that bothers you that much, maybe you shouldn't be a Panther fan. Personally, I take pride in the fact that we do so much with so little.

GO PANTHERS!!!!
