I'll take the Panthers!

[Coachdags]

I have become a Panther Fan, at the beginning because of Mac and Jake, now because, I believe in a group of overachieving, hard working, great young student athletes.

We are in a mild slump, lost 4 out of last 5, to all good teams, 3 of the losses by a total of five points. Got a great oppurtunity ahead of us, a chance to win some more games in the MVC Tourney.

I believe we are a lock for the NCAA, no matter what, we have had a great season so far, top 25 ranking, 22 wins, 5 of our 7 of conference losses we have had the ball in our hands with a chance to win, thats entertainment!

Mac, Jake, the rest of the coaching staff and these fine group of student athletes, I believe will get this figured out, and give us some more to cheer about, I will garuntee one thing there is no quit in this group, they will leave it all out there for us to critize.

But for my money, I'll take the Panthers, just the way they are. Good luck in St.Louis.

Thank you coachdags. I think people forget that these are student athletes most of which basketball careers will end right here at Northern Iowa. They play because they love the game and we watch for the same reason.

Spoken like a true fan.

Coach Mac and players-Thanks for the Great memories!!

You called the spread.

That is just freaky Coach Dags, freaky, but wonderful. Although I want the MVC championship, cause I know Ben wants one more.

Wow I am not gonna be able to sleep.

I cannot wait till tomorrow.

GO PANTHERS!!!

[DWadle1983]

I wonder if tomorrow is a must win situation for SIU. If Bradley makes it to the championship or wins it, then SIU, if UNI wins, may be the one of the outside.

[NJ Panther]

I'm not sure there are any must wins tommorrow, except maybe Bradley, but their "new hotness" and win over Creighton has given them a solid shot. Things fell right today (no Evansville or ISU hurting anything), and its pretty safe to say we'll get at least 4 teams. The tough calls are going to be Creighton and MSU. My gut just tells me its going to take some mis-steps in the major conference tournaments to get 5 or 6. So FSU, Seton Hall, Texas A&M, Ville, Maryland, Cuse', etc. are all pretty much public enemy number one for the MVC right now

[UNI92]

Today is a big day around the nation to scoreboard watch.
Seton Hall already beat #9 Pitt last night to go to 18-10.

[Newsbreaker]

Bradley still has to win. MSU is not dropping below mid 20s RPI, they are in.

I'm starting to believe the MVC may actually get 5 bids.

I actually now believe that almost certainly a VERY high RPI Valley team will get the shaft.

Our resume is strong enough, and now our Last-10 is average enough, that we're in. WSU is in. You may have a top-30 RPI MSU get left out, there are a lot of people making late runs for at-large bids.
