Up Next: North Carolina

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

I disagree...I think they give us 1 game in CH for revenge...just buyout 1.

I was mostly kidding, of course. I think so too.

Pretty fun day. On a MAJOR college football day, we're as big a story as anything.

Was in Wichita today and attended the WSU vs. Emporia State game. At halftime the UNI vs. UNC final score was on the big board and the Shocker fans let out a big cheer.

I know it is a stretch, but I hope people see this as a good game between two good teams rather than a monumental upset. I really hope they keep the other two games on the schedule, I will definitely go to CH next fall if I can see a Panther game (win)

I think our program has earned the right to be considered a "here they go again" win rather than a "who are these guys and where did they come from" win.

Absolutely correct - 31 wins was only 8 months ago.

Any recruits at the game?

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

I was following Kansas State vs. Iowa State and then the WSU game. I just now went to check other scores around the Valley. Nearly fell off my chair when I saw the UNI/UNC score. Then I saw the #1 in front of UNC and LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!

Now, where is that "I am not worthy" emoticon?

A simple congratulations just seems to not be nearly enough.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

A few thoughts:
1. Ted's defense was outstanding - very fundamentally sound. I thought we were in for a long day after Meeks put in the first four buckets, but Ted made him disappear in the second half.
2. They had no answer for Wes one-on-one. He was able to pick his lane and drive at will.
3. Huge 3-pointers in the second half! Down 50-34 and the game was slipping away when we hit 3 in a row. We have so many guys who are tremendous shooters - makes me think we will never fully be out of a game.

Going into the season, my goal was to get one of the "big names" on the schedule - UNC, ISU, or Oklahoma (assuming we would face them). Would it be too greedy to ask for another one?

Wow. Wasn't all that long ago that Shox fans on the ValleyTalk board were saying UNI set MVC basketball back 20 years

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Boxing out, Getting to the foul line, three point shooting, and only 6 turnovers were huge.

Actually Valleytalk hasn't been around for quite a few years now. Lots of mutual respect between the fan bases on MVCfans, as there should be.

Guess we perceive time differently, doesn't seem that long ago to me.

Re: Up Next: North Carolina

Just got back from a full day on campus. I can't even put it into words. Being a Panther fan just keeps getting better. I was a shaky,nervous, sweaty mess those last few minutes and I would do it a hundred times more. I love you all!
