PTI Gives UNI Love

[We're4UNI]

Was watching PTI today and they were talking about #1 seeds being upset. Michael Wilbon said he loved UNI over every #1 seed except for Kansas. Thought that was pretty cool. Did anyone else see that?

He said experts, not hair stylists.

well...this is EXACTLY the same treatment we got 2 years ago against Kent State. The whole country picked them....NOBODY gave us a shot and we were the 8 seed.....we then NEARLY held them to single digits in the 1st half...they ended up with 10 pts.

Right now you're the sexy pick.....however, per Pomeroy's ratings, we will have the 2nd best offense AND 2nd best defense you've faced all year. Offense and defense together, we should be your toughest matchup yet...per Pomeroy's ratings, we are.

You're defense will be the 2nd toughest we've faced....but your offense about the 8th or 9th (again, per Pomeroy's stats).

So...it should be a good game.....BUT, the overconfidence by this board and by everybody in the media, is mind-boggling.

I can't see why any fan would be overconfident on either side.....looks like a really, really good matchup on paper. Contrasting styles who's focus is defense....could be ugly too.

I can't understand it either. On ESPN in "America's Bracket" we are picked in 52% which is really really close for that thing. I think this should be a heck of a game. This UNLV team worries me. I think some of the picking of us is just because we have gotten a lot of media attention this year. I think these "experts" have gotten to hear about us more. I know I haven't heard much about UNLV, but after looking at your stats and results and even some of those pointless highlight videos posted on here you guys are the best team we will have seen this year.

GO PANTHERS!!

Sorry, but I'm not willing to say that yet. Siena, Old Dominion, and Wichita State are all good teams. Maybe even better than UNLV.

No way to really compare though . . . just opinions.

Have you read some of the posts by your fellow UNLV people on here ??? they talk like UNI will be a walk in the park for UNLV, and we have the 2nd best D in the country

Re: PTI Gives UNI Love

FYI, at the sports book where we are staying UNI moved from +1.5 at 8:30 this morning to a "pick em" by noon and now a -1 favorite. FWIW.
