Re: Up Next: Iowa State
If basketball were a series of 1-on-1 games then ISU would probably beat UNI just about every time. But it isn't, it is a team game. And UNI plays as a team as well as anyone in the country. They play the most beautiful team defense I have ever seen, and on offense can squeak it out with good team play. What UNI does is not "garbage", it is playing the game the RIGHT way and playing it the way it is meant to be played. There is a reason UNI regularly beats teams that have individuals that have more pure talent than our players, there is a reason we compete in almost all of our game regardless of opponent, and there is a reason we have been so consistent and won at least 18 games for eight straight seasons: we have a plan, and we play as a TEAM. What we do isn't garbage, it is a work of art (especially on defense). Watching five guys (really 10 + guys the way we work our bench) come together as a unit and consistently outplay groups of individuals that are more physically gifted than them is a beautiful thing to see and its why its great being a Panther. What ISU does is closer to garbage than what the Panthers do.
