    If I recall correctly, didn't UNI get the 5 or 6 seed in the MVC Tourney during our first run to the NCAA Tourney, the year we won the MVC Tourney? If I'm mistaken, which I could be, I'm sorry but I thought that was the case. I am also somewhat certain that we had a bit of a losing streak at one point or another during that season as well.

    I guess what I'm getting at is, things can bounce back in a hurry. If we start hitting some shots, and a few more balls bounce our way, we could be looking at the Big Dance again, and then all will be well in Panther Nation again.

    As for if , and I still think that's a big if, we make the NIT and play Iowa @ home, I would say put it in the McCleod Center. Sure we could get a ton more people in the Dome, but there is no reason to let our BEAUTIFUL new arena sit empty for an event like this. It would be rediculous to even consider holding this game in the Dome,IMHO.

      Actually, I'm pretty sure we got the #2 seed that year with a 12-6 record. Southern Illinois was head and shoulders above everyone else in the league that year and there was a log jam at #2...with UNI getting the 2 seed via the tiebreaker. I could be wrong though.

        You are correct JC, we were the 2. SMS was the 5 and they upset SIU in the Semifinals.

            The Panthers played red hot basketball down the stretch to get that number 2 seed. We don't have much time left to catch fire so let's get it started tonight.
            If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

              My bad on that mistake by the way. I honestly couldn't remember what seed we had that year. I hope that doesn't make me a bad UNI Fan. It was quite a while ago. Sometimes I have trouble remembering what we in class did last week. That's how busy I have been lately.
