If we win, what will be the biggest win ever?

[UNI]

IF we get past MSU (which I am trying not to jinx), would that be considered our biggest win ever?

Kansas was #1 in the country, #1 overall in the tournament, and basically 1:1 odds of winning it all.

MSU is a slight favorite (-1.5 last I saw), a 5 seed (some feel too high), and missing their star player.

However, one was to get us to the Sweet 16...and the other is to get us to the Elite 8. What do you guys think? I guess I just don't know where I would rank this...#1 or #2.









....obviously when we beat tOSU that will be our biggest win, but I'm just wondering for the time being

We need not to get ahead of ourselves... one game at a time, each win is the biggest win ever.

That being said, I think it's well deserved that the team has gotten this much fanfare and I'm all for it. We just need to buckle down for MSU.

I agree with Cas. Each win is bigger than the last. At the same time, each win (counting KU) is the biggest win in school history regardless of sport, IMHO.

The NEXT win is always the most important

Beating UNLV of course in the first game. Without beating us, you'd have no chance to have beaten KU

The next game is always the biggest win ever, whether KU, MSU or BU.

Most important, sure.
But not "biggest".
In sense of looking back on things afterwards, I'm pretty sure I'll consider the Kansas win to be "biggest". Sure it "only" got us to the Sweet Sixteen, where as a win over MSU would get us to the Elite 8, etc. But that is just due to how the tournament was seeded, and not necessarily the quality of opponents.

Of course such a thing is a matter of opinion, so different people will consider different games to have been the "biggest"

I will say this: it was certainly the most people ever watching UNI do anything.

CBS had just over 10 million viewers in the hour just after UNI won (I don't have the previous hour, but I would guess it's slightly higher).

All I know is that I just got done with a 6 mile run and I thought about UNI's win the ENTIRE run!! Best run ever.

I think a win over MSU will be the biggest achievement in the history of UNI. But the win over #1 KU was the best win ever, and probably will never be topped.

I would think this would easily be the highest attended game for a UNI basketball game ever as well. What is there going to be, 30-40K at the game? I know we had 20K in the UNIdome one time.

A win over Michigan State would be the biggest win since it would get UNI to a regional final. However, even if UNI beats Michigan State unless UNI were to make the Final Four, the Kansas win will be the one people nationally will remember not UNI getting and losing in a regional final because of the attention the win has received. I've been amazed at the coverage.

Winning a game that advances the UNI Panthers to the Elite 8 is the biggest win in program history. This team still feels like it has unfinished business.

I just don't want to see this season end. Love this team and how they play.
