  • 2013 Paradise Jam

    Per Dannen tweet, we are going back to the Virgin Islands next year. Good tournament usually.

      From the Paradise Jam website:

      In 2010, Purdue (’09 PJ champs) and Tennessee (’09 PJ runnerup) each earned berths into the Sweet 16, and Northern Iowa (3rd) made it all the way to the Elite Eight. This was perhaps the best overall showing of any men’s field in Paradise Jam history.

        That disappointing loss to Depaul kept us from getting any meaningful matchups in that tourney. A random fun fact that came across my twitter yesterday, yesterday was the 3 year anniversary of the day Kwadzo dropped 32 in that tournament against Boston College

          Hopefully the competition is a step down....

            Will the UNI athletic department put together a package deal for fans for this tournament? If so, how early in the year will details/pricing come out about the trip?

              I am thinking about trying to afford this trip. I would have to really save up but maybe I would meet the future Mrs. Moon.

                    "...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."

                        RPI.

                        1-LaSalle
                        2-Maryland
                        3-UNI
                        4-Providence
                        5-Vanderbilt
                        6-Loyola Marymount
                        7-Morgan State
                        8-Marist

                        A second round matchup with Maryland would be a great game for us.

                          It'll be interesting to see how good LaSalle is next year. They only graduate 1 senior who played a lot, but that was their best player.

                            They have used RPI in the past and we finished just in front of Providence (80 to 86). Would be interesting to see if they swap us with the 'big' school in seeding. Might actually work out for the best if they did since we could end up playing 3 higher RPI teams if things break right. As it is, LMU was lousy this year and don't look to improve a lot next year.

                              Yet, Providence not only got into the NIT, they got a home game...
