That 09 conference championship game as crazy. Osiris Eldridge went nuts, only time I ever really remember seeing a player from the losing team get MVP/MOP or whatever they want to call it.

It has only happened twice. The other was Cam Johnson from UNI winning it in 1994 despite losing in the final.

That was a heartbreaking game. We only lost by what, three points?

At LSU in 2005. Don't remember how high they were ranked, but that game was pretty much the win that gave us a high enough RPI to make the tourney as an at large that year.

Because Jason Sims and his tiny hands couldn't catch a ball thrown right to him.

1990 vs Minny second round. A loss, but just being in the tourney was a theretofore unimagined dream. Winning a first round game unfreakingbelieveable. This was the second game in a row where Jason Reese went toe to toe with an NBA lottery pick and didn't blink. Lost by 3, making it our second best NCAA performance up until 2010.

LSU made the final four that year. Lost to UCLA.

Had Big Baby Davis on that team.

Maybe I just have a vendetta against U of I, but I would put the 1990 Iowa game with 23000 fans as #1. What a great FU to Iowa who refused to play us in CF up to that point.

I would also put the 2001 win in CF against U of I. I believe this was part of a string of seasons UNI beat ranked opponents in CF.

Winning in Ames in Tuttle's freshman year 69-62, where he dominated Royce White in Hoiberg's first season, to me is a consideration. Mostly because that is the last "true state championship" since ISU and UI won't play us at home any longer.

Why is everyone forgetting about our win against WSU earlier this year!?!?!?

Another honorable mention and less important win would be the game in which AJ hit a buzzer beater to beat Creighton.

On this note you might have to include the 20 point win over Iowa topped off by police escorting Fran out.

Great list. The 1990 games wouldn't make my list, of course, because I barely knew who UNI was at that point,mans I'd add the 1997 win over a ranked Iowa team as well, as that's the day and place I became a UNI fan. My family will never forgive me.

I was wondering the same thing ... our win this year vs WSU was awesome!

'83 vs. Wisconsin in the Dome? Was there but don't remember much of the game itself, just how excited everybody was to host it (and how small the court and how endless the space behind the backboards seemed in the Dome).

1983 Wisconsin... old school... I was there... first "big named" school playing at UNI.
