    like i said before, this is a much better team than previous years as they have really battled back through some ingame adversity that teams of the past allow to get to them and end up losing! lets hope for an injury free rest of the season!! go panthers!
    FWIW, VCU isn't coming back to Cedar Falls according to sources in Richmond. This was apparently a buy game.

    UNI has a HELL of a team. That was pretty special to watch and I think you guys will be making a ton of noise in March. Good luck to you guys going forward... it was a pleasure watching your squad.

      You are correct this was a buy game, however, I would not be surprised to see another home and home series set up, these games have been really good, and are good for both programs.

        Absolutely. I'd definitely welcome seeing more of these games. Very good competition and I think both teams learn a lot more from games like this than playing the sisters of the poor.

                Deon needs to have his role reduced even further. We simply are a better team with Wes and Wyatt put there, and Deon has proven time and time again to be a disaster in the clutch. I like the guy, and I wish it weren't the case, but we are 10 games into the season and he is a Senior. He's just not getting the job done.

                If Deon could do better at passing off the drives (and making layups), he would be extraordinary.

                He must do it well in practice since Coach keeps putting him in these situations.

                  So, do we have any actual info on what was up with Tuttle?

                    Seemed to be just a case of he didn't play well enough in the first half, so he didn't play much in the second and none in 2 OTs. I believe if he had been reinserted at some point, particularly after their big man fouled out, we win the game. But, there is a very good reason why I'm not the coach.

                      The hoop is still 15 feet away and, to be honest, it's pretty close to the same setup as the McLeod Center. It's not an excuse here...
                      That makes me want to watch "Hoosiers" again...great line.

                        Tuttle and Jake were jawing back in forth a bit, maybe sitting him was to wake him up a little bit.

                          I agree. It just amazed me that he didn't play in the 2nd half or OT. I would feel better if Coach just came out and said that he was . . . sick . . . worried about some family matter . . . needed to cram for finals . . . or something.

                            Seth was just simply terribly ineffective and didn't rebound at all.

                            He was just off. No need to read too much into it...

                              Perhaps it should be viewed as Coach showing his commitment to the team as a whole. In the long run, this could be a very good thing. No team can assume that we will fall apart without Tuttle. It was very impressive to see us play with VCU without Tuttle.

                                All of this. Jake went with what was working when we came back from the deficit. It's not the first time he has done this. Seth is fine.
                                "...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."
