      Coach Jake will be once again be paying for the students Monday night!
      "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

        +1 on all of this. Interlude dancers all around the arena, picking up the slack for the spring-break students. Its fun to see the opposing coaches & players look up and stare for a while during that time-out. They sure did for a long stretch last night!

          The Rider radio announcer had some very nice comments about the McLeod Center and our facilities. Click on the Listen Now for the Rider-UNI game to hear them.

            At the 1:17 mark, he comments on the "Interlude" and says it's quite the specticle....and that you should YouTube it. "Some do it well....some not so well...but it's worth the look on YouTube."

              It was a really fun game! I think the crowd enjoyed not being quite so stressed about our offense for once, and the guys were mixing it up and having fun, too. I was rather impressed with the attendance, considering it's spring break. I hope Monday night the place is packed!! And I hope the students really show up in full force, especially with their tickets being free!

                    Collegeinsider.com has the match-ups for the second round posted.

                    Wikipedia has a Bracket Posted

                    According to Wiki we are the #2 seed playing the winner of the 7/10 game between San Fransisco and Hawaii.

                      I have to like that draw. Either team, particularly Hawaii, will be traveling a long way.

                        Northern Iowa (20-13) vs. Jacksonville (20-11) or SMU (18-14)

                          Looks like they grouped the western teams to reduce travel. Good financial move.

                          Two of the teams with byes are playing each other.

                          I am hoping for SMU with absolutely no logic or reasoning behind it.

                            So they changed it already? So its either Jacksonville or SMU? I am very confused by this tournament? Why wouldn't they set it up and let it be.

                            I am thinking if UNI can keep their momentum going, they could win this tournament, will we have to travel at all? I think if we can stay at home all the way through, that would be HUGE!

                              don't know if they "changed" it, but rather, it hadn't been set yet to begin with.
                              seems like the pretty much just go round by round, setting up pairings on the fly. Not all teams submit a bid to host, due to facilities committments, or the fact that they don't want to risk losing money.

                              so they probably look at the pool of teams available for the next round, pick out schools that have bid to host (or submitted the best bid) and give them home games, then match them up with opponents based on travel considerations, and other factors.
