NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

What an absolutely asinine post. Right---UNI doesn't need the money that comes with continued league success. Right------a Creighton win doesn't bring more national respect for the MVC. Get over it folks. This kind of small minded whinney post is so out of touch with reality.

I'm not so sure having a school we routinely recruit against making it to the Sweet 16 would be a good situation for us. I think having them lose where they did was in our best interest.

Couldn't have said it better. No one is saying we should be bending over kissing the mcdermott's backsides, but we need to realize the WSU loss in the 1st round and Creightons loss today do not generate respect for our conference. Also, it could be a factor next year in deciding the fate of an MVC bubble team. This time of year you should really be supporting and cheering for success of your conference teams.

This fan base also needs to realize that Doug is gone, has been gone and he isn't coming to UNI except for 1 time each year. It happened two years ago, time to move on. We should quit b!tching about who isn't here and appreciate the talent we have. If u wanna get back at Doug and Greg, then get season tickets and getyour butts in the seats next year and cheer on the guys we have every night. Winning talks. Win the conference the next 2 years and let Doug realize he made a mistake.

Great post.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

You need to slow the game down, and play physical defense to beat a team like UNC. Creighton tried to beat them playing their own game, and they had no chance.

This is my feeling as well, that is the benefit of how we play. If we do get in the tournament (hopefully next year) we will have a chance against almost anyone. Missouri Valley teams are not going to recruit better athletes than the big boys but we can have better basketball players and better teams.

Classy move by Gibbs going after Henson's wrist and the then winking at Mac. Nice.

Another classy move by Mac. If he would have hurt him, maybe Roy could have put his friend hat on and forgiven him...

Check it out.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Creighton has now earned a rep, rightly or wrongly. Not to the level of the pistons of the 90s, but this will always be there while McD$ is coach. Its one thing to have a tough game in conference that no one sees, but another on a spotlight game against a team that was, until that point favored to get to the final four.

Basically inviting other teams to take cheap shots at Dougie. I like it!!!

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Interesting article in Omaha Herald - Gibbs admits to trying to get under opponents' skin to get a technical called on them...

Not sure what the heck Echinique is doing, just stupidity on his part. I don't think he hit him very hard (and Zeller seems to put on a little bit of drama) but in what scenario is extending your arms to "check" someone a good/sportsmanlike action? Much less that he did it to Zeller's head. You stay classy BJ's

Maybe it's a secret MVC Defensive Player of the Year move that no one else knows about.

The GE Guillotine maybe? Sure looked like he was trying to take Zeller's head off

If you say that as soon as GE makes eye contact with Zeller it makes that clip way more awesome.
