UNI v Georgetown

[BCPanther]

I like the matchup!!

4 is a record for the MVC so that's good news, not bad. Next year maybe 5 happens. MSU shouldn't have gotten in; sorry it would have been cool but they weren't a team that should have been in.

[Panthers Win!!]

These CBS announcers have absolutely no class. The day of the power conferences is over if all they play is crappy out of conference schedules. Play good teams out of conferences and win otherwise stop whining.

Now the problem is that while the Selection Committee put in four teams we all have very tough draws. So unless we pull upsets everyone will point at how the inclusion of four MVC teams was a mistake and the RPI is broken.

Personally I think it's unfortunate Missouri State isn't one of the teams that was invited. Hopefully they dominate in the NIT.

about 5 minutes i saw the matchup the thought in my mind was, "huh, well i guess CBS is going to do a feature on Mac and Thompson III with their wives both battling breast cancer....."

it would be a great feature story piece that could be done during a halftime or another game's halftime......both athletic departments did special events to raise awareness if i'm not mistaken and to my knowledge both coaches have shown a lot of class in their situations.......

If anyone knows Nance's email I would like to ask him how UNI's non conference schedule is not tough with 3 BcS shools plus some other good teams with a good number away from home and they only lost 1.

we knew that going in. however many MVC teams that made it in were going to be seeded in the 9-16 range. thus any wins would be "upsets"

I liked Seth Davis better than the rest before, now he is a "lock."

[Kaboom]

Decent draw...not really excited that Ohio State is playing in state, pretty big advantage. But we get an opportunity to shut the Big East freaks up. Should be a really interesting game. Mizzou St. got screwed bad, as did the hawks and their draw...tough bracket.

I will be making the trip to Dayton.

I will be making the trip to Dayton.

Ditto. Not quite as far to go as Chatty was, eh Jon?

[Jonsoup]

Looking at the brackets, I'm going to say we be starting the day off for basketball in Dayton on Friday.

you'd figure OSU would get one of the night games.....i'd agree, 3/2 odds we'll be playing during the day......

[kabullseye]

Have at it.

FWIW...UNI's RPI is 25, Georgetown is in the 30's somewhere.

We can only hope they take us lowly Panthers for granted. For some on the coast, basketball ends west of the Mighty Miss.

[BCPanther]

If OSU plays at night, we have to too. I am going to say we get the late late game!!

Agreed. The segment with Nantz and Packer was really annoying (I won't curse on your board and tell you what I really think). Please go take a major conference scalp in their honor.

Best of luck.
