What makes UNI so good

[BBALL_NATION]

I'm not totally familiar with your team. I have been seeing a lot of talk about the Missouri Valley this year. What makes you so good? I look at your roster and I don't see anything except for Jacobson. Your bench has little to no proven experience that I can see. What happens when Jacobson gets tired. Who will you put in? I know you can't compete with the ACC and the Big East. Why do you think you are getting national attention?

Correct me if I'm wrong .. I'm just curious?

You're right, UNI couldn't compete in the ACC...except for the fact that they played National runner-up Georgia Tech within a shot in 2004.

This team is more than just Jacboson. Erik Crawford is a great all around player and one of the top defenders in the Midwest. Stout and Coleman are studs on the inside. You can expect around 13 points and 8 rebounds from each of them game after game. The bench is unproven, but the starting 5 is as tough as anybody outside of the top 5 teams in the nation.

How about the team that is beating you right now. WM does not have much this year at all. They were picked 3rd in the West Division. Just looked at your schedule. We will see what you have when you play Iowa. GL

You mean the team that has lost their last 2 trips to the UNI-Dome?

2001-UNI 78 (#12) Iowa 76
2003-UNI 77 (#24) Iowa 66

i love these random fans of the opposition that get on here and try to tick off the PantherNation....but in all actually, it really just makes me feel like we have some of the best fans in the nation because i really don't hear about our posters going to other sites to bash/rile up

[BBALL_NATION]

Easy now.. it was legit question. I didn't blast you guys or anything. You were picked #1. I just didn't see it on your roster.

Lets see, what happen again when we played you last year? What post-season tournament have we played in two years in a row and lost to two great teams (Final four and elite 8), returing 3 starters from both those teams and all five from last yers? What was our conference RPI the past couple of seasons? Lets see, we had our conference's Newcommer of the year last year, an all-D team, and a couple of all-conference players. Oh, and we are about to end your wonderful teams long non-conference home winning streak. So yeah, you just lost to a piss poor team. Congratulations. Go to Hawkeye report and meet a bunch of other funatical lunactics of a team that gets beat by UNI regularly.

Huh.. my team... UNI has not played my team??? You kind of hit on my point. You might have a starting five but that is it. Like I said.. we will see when you meet Iowa. You will need a bench. (not that I think they are that good but better than the other teams you have played.)

[MiloCat]

So who is your team?

[TravOforTHREE]

dude's a pussy. Travis Brown would own his team's ass alone. Kill em with the three's TravO!!!!!

Happy ThanksTROLLING Day!

You know, I had a sneaking feeling all along this was an Iowa fan. For the love of all things good can we please not talk about the Iowa game until the week before the game at the earliest? They are not that important to speak of before hand.

what else do we have?

he may not go past the sidelines but we call him coach mac.

No offense, but you can't look at a roster and judge things like; chemistry and teamwork, heart and passion. As a wise person once said, 'that's why they play the games.'

FYI, the team picked 6th in the Valley beat DePaul (of the Big East) last weekend with two of its best players suspended. The Valley is tough from top to bottom.
