"...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." -
Re: Johnnnnnnny MMMorannnnn!
I seem to recall a specific play against Creighton at the Quest Center his sophomore year. Creighton’s program was kind of a mess, they had some guys like Stinnet who had the talent but just not the effort. (15 minuts before the tip, they were doing a dunk contest while our guys were running through drills but that’s a different story)
Anyways, at one point Johnny came flying from nowhere, knocked the ball against one of the CU guys who was just standing there watching it. It ended up being a turning point in the game as I recall, and we won at Omaha for the first time in a whileComment

Johnny is one of a kind and every future Panther should strive to work as hard for UNI as he has. You will be missed 13!Comment

Re: Johnnnnnnny MMMorannnnn!
Hopefully our six freshman have learned a few things about hustle and desire to win from Johnny this year. It's so rare to have a player with his intensity and effort who also plays the game with such class.Comment

Re: Johnnnnnnny MMMorannnnn!
the Charlie Hustle of UNI. Johnny may not always show up on the stat sheet but if this was baseball, he'd have more dirt on his uniform than anyone. Always hustled and would sacrifice his body to draw a foul or get a loose ball. Great kid, great careerComment

Re: Johnnnnnnny MMMorannnnn!
He's definitely a Panther who will be greatly missed next year. I love all the comments about his hustle and diving effort. No one sacrifices his body more for the sport than Johnny. So many accolades given to spotlight players like Ali (well deserved, of course) but Johnny is one who you could always count on to keep at it, keep working, attack until the final buzzer. Oh how I would love to see him take this team to the NCAA's after winning it all in St Louis and causing major headaches for the pundits who think they're good at analyzing basketball.Comment

Coach Jake was pleading people to make the extra effort and come out to this game to honor Johnny, in the press luncheon this week.
C'mon people, get your asses to this game!UNI FIGHT
