Yes and no. All the other 5-12 games are in the same ballpark of a spread.

Crazy the sweet 16 game was practically a pick em

Yes and no. All the other 5-12 games are in the same ballpark of a spread.

The split between the P leagues and the MM+ leagues is bigger than it's ever been and is only going to continue to get wider.

Awesome data, and perfect illustration of what we are up against. A tall mountain to climb on Friday night.

History is not on our side. We have never beaten a team from east of the Mississippi in the Dance. 0-7 against schools east, 5-1 against schools west. We are also only 1-10 against Big East competition, the lone win over Providence back in 2011

Good thing these kids were all in middle school, younger or not born when all that happened. They don't give a ****.

Will there be any local media coverage travelling with the Panthers? I fear I know the answer, but wanted to check in case someone heard something.

I believe Woodley is going with them but that's it. Nelley should be but he, as always, chose wrestling.

Owen Siebring is a huge loss at KGAN as he was the only other guy that ever cared about UNI.

Check out the Kansas message boards. They are already talking about how the 2nd round match-up with St. Johns will be a challenge for the Jayhawks. So how'd that 2nd round match-up with UNLV work out for you guys in 2010?

If Kansas were to lose to UNI a 2nd time in the tournament, I don't know if that fanbase would ever recover.

We could hold a wake...

Maybe Ann Selzer is doing sports now.

The DMR online article also said UNI won the Summit League tournament. So yes, Ann Selzer is definitely on the sports staff.

God forbid someone who works at a Des Moines newspaper knows what conference *two* Division I basketball programs in the state belong to.

Good God.

I stopped getting the DMR a decade ago because it was so bad. I see it hasn't improved.

From the UNI Ticket Office?

Yes, apparently sold out Tuesday.
