    Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

    Some very head-scratching possessions in the last 5 minutes.
    Too many missed front ends of 1&1s. Good thing we found our FT stroke at the end!!!

    TWENTY WINS

    I'll take it!
    (I'll even take more!)

      That was a stressful afternoon and now I'm really tired. But so glad we got that 20th win and overcame the foul problems, missed free throws, rebounding problems and adversity. A lot more mentally tough right now than we were in January.
      "...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."

Especially considering SIU has been infinitely more aggressive and physical than us

        It is interesting because they had a top-rated ref crew for the first MVC game yesterday (I think I recall seeing John Higgins and Kerry Self for the Bradley/Loyola game). Maybe they will show up tomorrow and do some better reffing than today's did.

        Anybody know who the refs were in our game? I try to take note for future reference.

          Just got home from work and watched it. Holy hell I've seen better reffing in my rec league, and that's saying a lot. Clutch down the stretch, can't afford to miss 4 front ends tomorrow though. A lot of ugly turnovers too
          To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

            Tom O'Neill, Mark Whitehead and Don Daily.

              I tend to think Whitehead does a pretty good job (usually).

                Whitehead is elite has done Final Fours.

                Dailey usually gets to the 2nd weekend of the tournament.

                Tom O'Neill did several Final Fours and National Title games in the past, but age is starting to slow him down and change assignments.

                Dream crew for Saturday, with who I assume is staying for the weekend is John Higgins, Gerry Pollard, and Don Dailey. I would expect the other 3 staying for the weekend to be Mike Stuart, Bert Smith, and Paul Janssen.

                But I could be totally wrong as referee schedule and travel usually makes very little sense. I assume the other two elite guys in town (Tom Eades and Mark Whitehead) are off to do other games today, I expect at least one of them to be doing Iowa State/Kansas.

                  Not to contradict, as I know nothing about how officiating is scheduled or overseen. But Whitehead was on the crew at the Iowa State-Kansas game 2 or 3 years ago that was one of the worst officiating jobs I've ever seen. It had the Withey foul and the no charge. B12 actually made a statement of reprimand.

                    Look back. Bert Smith and Tom O'Neill were reprimanded, Whitehead wasn't named and actually did the Final Four that year.

                    Sorry, I'm kind of an officiating junkie....

                      Had to honestly laugh yesterday when some SIU fans sitting somewhat near us were screaming at the refs during the second half to "call it both ways."

                        No apology needed. Thanks for the info.

                          One day early, but still true. Feels good to be the team to do it this year.
