UNI vs. Iowa game thread

Great Win Panthers !! wow they were down by what 13 with 6 to go and never gave up ! gotta love when ISU and IU both fall in the same year to the Cats !

has this ever happened before?

I just want to add that I have watched a couple other hawk games this year and they have NEVER, EVER, EVER came anywhere close to playing with as much enthusiasm as they did tonight. Thier defense especially seemed to played at a much higher level than I've ever saw. I agree that if they could bring an intensity even close to the one they had tonight in future games, then they could have a good year. If not, they will go back to the futility they showed before tonight!

Defense and rebouning win games, and we never gave up on either!!!

[UNI MadCat]

Never doubted 'em for a second!!

You could make a case that this was a top 5 win in school history!

Congrats Panthers!!

For 34 minutes, Iowa looked like a team that could be in the top half of the Big 10 rather than the bottom 2. They are going to be SCARY when they grow up.

Rebounds were 37 - 25, advantage Panthers.

13 by Coleman. He's a bad man.

I don't think they'll be scary at all. They had a good game plan for us tonight, PRESSURE THE BALL, which we has trouble adjusting to. Except for that, they're not that good. We're just as young as they are!!!!

You know I have to admit that I had doubts with 4 minutes left. I looked at my son and said "You might as well go to bed it's over." Let's be honest, everyone had the thought cross their mind. Thankfully I was wrong!

CR Panther, I will have the UNI Flag flying high tomorrow in Prairie View Estates!

It does seem that Iowa and ISU get a lot of benefit of the doubt for having new faces. We have 4 true freshman in the rotation. Seems to get left out of the story by the Iowa sports media much of the time.

That pressure defense almost blew the game wide open and embarassed this UNI team. We looked slow, frustrated, and confused for a good portion of that game. Our team gutted it out but Iowa does have some talent that can be dangerous when they develop in a couple years. They don't know how to win yet, but the Panthers do.

Somewhere...........I bet Mac is smiling

........and maybe missing UNI a little bit.

I won't leave you hanging, I thought for a while it was over too. Not sure why I wasn't thinking that UNI had too much heart...which they clearly did! Thankfully they cleared my head!

Hail our Panthers, we are ever loyal...kinda says it all, huh?

I agree that they frustrated and confused us. But we're not slow, and WE HAVE MORE TALENT!!! Just a rough night tonight adjusting to their pressure.

I'll take our freshman class over Iowa or Iowa State!! Don't drink that Iowa City Kool-aid that says that Iowa is more talent and we have to "gut" it out to beat them...
