The Tale Of The Tape?

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Why do people always use this stupid sterotype? Only 3 of our top 10 players this year were from Iowa and none of them from farms. Not that there is anything wrong with being an Iowan or a farmer, but you can't build a nationally competitive team as we have with farm kids from Iowa. There are not enough good bb players with that background available each year, and if there were any really good ones they would go to Iowa or ISU. UNI is much more respected outside of Iowa than we are in Iowa.

BINGO, give the man a cigar! I don't like the "farmboy" stereotype either. Like you said Gonzo, nothing wrong with being from a farm, but you'll never win by recruiting strictly farm kids, or strictly kids from tiny towns either. Just not enough population and talent base, and they don't play against tough enough competition either. Let me qualify that - they don't play against tough enough competition on a regular, season-to-season basis. There can always be the one off stud who comes from that environment.

For the record, I'm from suburban DSM, and I never really met anyone who lived on a farm until I went to college. I'm willing to bet that applies to members of the basketball team too - unless you potentially count AAU players, camp participants, etc.

the farm stereotype but 8 of 16 on the roster are from Iowa.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

We did it with a bunch of farm boys from Iowa.

I really don't care who you did it with, as long as they were of age and consenting.

Why is this thread still going? UNI lost the game by 7 and MSU hit some "bad" shots and UNI missed some easy ones (see Ali missing a right handed layup)

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

Aparently didn't see the statistics, eh? They did a horrible job because of bad, low percentage shots.

Yeah because they did horrible that night? are you serious? UNI settled for the outside shot in the 2nd half. The reason was because MSU played tight D and was allowing the outside shot! I was upset because UNI didn't go inside but i re-watched the game the other day, MSU bigs were active and were shutting down the inside game! But none the less:

UNI had a heck of a year and I couldn't be more proud of them! They went 30-5 on the year! When was the last time a UNI team even sniffed 30 wins?

Coack jake is a great coach and will be around UNI for a few years! With the amount of guys coming back, UNI will be in the hunt for another title! IF they can find a consistant scorer for next year, they will be in the NCAA again!

Go screw yourself and leave basketball alone! We should ban wrestling instead of basketball! Haven't you seen that south park episode where the boys take up wrestling? Its all talk and no action! I would rather watch paint dry!

Very true and the last I looked MSU was # 12 in the nation and UNI had a legit shot of beating them to, I can think back a few years and remember where UNI would of had about little to no chance of beating a # 12 or maybe even making the NCAA to start with, this year UNI made it to a whole new level as far as mens BB, 30-5 won the first round against a good UNLV team then shocked the BB world beating the # 1 team in the country that most picked to win the entire thing, then fell just short of another upset in beating the # 12 ranked team in the sweet 16 I would say that is a heck of a year and there are a few teams that their fans could only dream of such a year ! I am just glad people stepped up and made it so Jake might stick around for a few years he is a class act the players seem to want to play hard for him and he represents the school with class on and off the court.

I still can't believe the game was tied with 1:51 left. That is unreal. All that despite not having hit from the floor in something like 9 minutes. What a year.
