I believe we were 21-10 on Selection Sunday in 05. We lost to Wisconsin in the round of 64.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Pretty classless taking those 3's in the last 90 seconds, up by 18. I would assume all the angels under super-classy Jacobson would have so much more class than that. Classless.

Touché. Definitely looks worse when they go in.

Re: Up Next: Drake

I refuse to hold out hope about an at-large bid (unless we reel off another 5 in a row), but if I recall correctly, our 2004-2005 at-large-bid team had about 10 losses, and not many (if any) quality wins - certainly nothing on par with our UNC and ISU wins this year.

Just sayin'.

The Valley wasn't a smoldering crater of **** then either. There were several opportunities for important wins in the league, now there are 2.

Guys, I'm crazy optimistic but we have zero chance at an at large. Our RPI was in the 140s and Will probably go down after winning today because Drake is total dog ****. Hell, I'm not sure the NIT is realistic unless we finish 5-1 and get at least one in StL and even then it's pretty borderline. The Valley is a league that Will get an NIT bid, but we'll have to clearly be the 2nd best team.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Couldn't ask for a better game from your point guard. 7 for 7, 6 assists, 0 turnovers, shut down opponent's best player (at least in the first half). Also liked how he drove in and dropped it off a couple times rather than always kicking it out for a three.

It's becoming clear we will need to rely on Wes to be an excellent defender to be consistently good. Means others will need to step up on offense. So far so good over last 3 games.

Re: Up Next: Drake

I hear you, BC. But while there may have been "several opportunities" for "important wins" in the conference in 2004-2005, we didn't really get any: lost twice to Creighton, and split with SIU and Wichita. Not a single win over ranked teams.

I have to believe that if we win out until the Valley tourney final - we would get a serious look. Do I think winning that many games in a row is likely - or even reasonably likely? No. But then again, stranger things have happened. See Drake, 2008 season.

Re: Up Next: Drake

I just heard the TV announcers for today's game have been reprimanded because they didn't do the mandatory three minutes dialogue about how Drake's gonna be really good in a couple years.

Drake has that in the contract for every broadcast.

Hmm, I guess I struck a nerve with the shocker fan reading a Panthers forum? I usually enjoy your outside perspective, but don't expect people to post non-bias opinions on our forum just because it might upset another fanbase.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Yeah, that 3 Carlson took from 30 feet after holding the ball for 29 of the 30 second shot clock was a complete douche move.

I renounce my Panther fandom because of it.

If you were one of the people complaining about WSU shooting 3's against us, then you deserve the retort from the WSU fan above. It was dumb to be offended.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Iowa did buy it's way into the NIT that one year with a 100+ RPI and got a home game.

Need to stay health, continue to get better, and throw it all in down in st Louis.

Well our offense is based of jacking 3s so I don't know what you wanted them to do.......

Re: Up Next: Drake

It really was natural to be offended, their was a 1 second difference between shot and game clock, and he took the shot wide open because we had already given up without burning any clock. All he had to do was hold on and shoot it with a couple seconds left to to end the game. I was at the game, and certainly was not the only one offended.

This is all irrelevant now, game has long passed, and we are on a solid win streak, go panthers

I'll agree with your last sentence. Nothing we can do about the mid season, horsesh*t slump, so might as well root for a strong finish. More importantly, root for continued development of the young bigs for next year.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Speaking of the young bigs...where was Koch in the second half? Coach's doghouse or dinged up?

I saw most, but not all of the game. Koch had some foul trouble, but Carlson also played really well. I'm guessing Carlson's play was a big reason.

Speaking of this, IMO Ted's reduced minutes is a big mistake by Jake. He brings some energy and toughness on the defensive end that nobody on the team can match.
