There will be a number teams in the dance worse than Bradley.

But we won't be seeded in any position where we'll have to face them.

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

Not going to agree with anyone in this thread, but your telling me you wouldnt care about UNI if we didnt make the big dance? wow just wow.

As someone who sat through many games in the UNI-Dome with only a few hundred other people in the mid/late-90's, I'd say that Jeg isn't the only one who feels this way.

No, UNI has never been in the NIT

No, but UNI "didn't make the dance" quite often back then.

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

I have to say the loss on Tuesday night took a bit of wind out of my sails.........I just hope that we can right the ship and run the table to end the year on a good note. To even allow myself to think that we don't make the dance this year literally makes me sick to my stomach!!! We have already suffered through a painful and disappointing football season I just do not want to feel the same way about the basketball season! We just all need to rally around our team end the season strong and go into the dance with as much momentum as possible. I would love to win out by 10+ points a game and make a statement while doing it and enter into the second half of the season ready to make a run! The problem as I see it now is the fact that IF we make it to the dance we are going to be seeded in such a fashion that we are going to play a solid team in the first round and a very high seed in the second round.....I really thought this was the year and the team to win at least two games in the tourney and officially put the Panthers on the map! Right now though it is tough to think that is going to happen.....

We wont be in position to get a 1 seed in the NIT. We will either do enough to make the dance if we win 2-3 games, or if we don't we will have fallen far enough that we would fall to at least the 2-3 line of the NIT IMO.

Sure is a bummer that this could happen in both football and basketball. Cubs-esque.

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

I think we'll still make the dance. Do people here think it would be better to make the dance and lose in the first round or make the NIT and advance far?

Who says we must lose in the first round? I feel that we can surprise a few teams.

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

Wow....dumb on me for even opening this thread.

We lose a game that we shouldn't have lost and now we're talking about a #1 seed in the NIT? The regular season isn't even over yet!

This whole thread, and me for even reading it, deserves a double face palm picture.

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

On Sportscenter U they were just talking about how UNI, Siena and Butler are all teams that could bust your bracket. So, as a right now...UNI is still in the tourney.

Because the selection committee is made up of Sportcenter's JV cast....

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

We have an RPI of 22 right now. It will fall a little bit as the season winds down, but probably only to 25 or 28.

A team with that high of RPI and with 25 wins, will not be left out. This year is a good year for the mid-majors as the "BCS" schools are really struggling. You your usual Big East, Big Ten, and ACC teams making their push. But the lack of the PAC-10 is gonna help some teams sneak in. Also the Big Ten is only going to get 5 teams in, as opposed to 7 as many people thought.

I think UNI is okay, all we need to do is win on Saturday, and then win our first round game in St Louis. Anything after that only helps improve our seed. If UNI wins out and takes the tourny title we are a 6 seed. IF we lose saturday and 2nd round of the tourny, we are a 7 or an 8 seed. If we lose first round I can see us being a 10 or 11 seed.

We are still in, we just need to take care or business at home this weekend!

Re: **OFFICIAL** The sky IS falling thread

I don't think we get a #1 seed in the NIT. Heck, I don't think we get a top 5 seed in the NIT.
