Anyone staying up to follow the game for 23rd place? The only two African teams battling so one can leave with a win. Kind of blows certains myths away.

Great job Panthers!!! Way to finish with a fantastic 5-1 record. We are all proud of you. What a fantastic way to represent our University and show the whole nation what we are about. Great job Panthers!! I'll be wearing my purple and gold at work tomorrow!!Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment

With a day at the Iowa State Fair coming up for me tomorrow...news of this game makes my day (and a peaceful night's sleep) a happy one! I can't express how proud I am of these guys who have gone over there and gone 5-1 in a 24-team tournament. I hope this experience will be a very positive one in their minds. Wish we could have seen some of these on television! Now, travel safe and we'll see you all in Cedar Falls!!!

This game was a grind. We came out sharp in the 1st quarter and that's a tribute to the mental toughness of our squad. They played a tough game against Finland and had to turn around on 14 hours notice and play a very good team from Israel. Their coaches felt that they had a good shot at medaling and were also very disappointed to be playing for 9th place. Israel went into a zone midway through the 2nd quarter and stayed with it for most of the game. You could feel the game slowly slipping away at times but several individuals made big plays to bring home the win. EC was unstoppable when he had the ball in the low post. He had two ticky-tacky fouls called on him late in the game to foul out. Jared or Brooks had a big blocked shot with under one minute to go and Brooks 3-pointer sealed the game. All in all, a gutsy performance by an exhausted group of young men. Everyone contributed. Too bad there wasn't any video or audio feeds of the game to give you a better feel for what they accomplished. Great support on PN!Comment

I just had to register, and I had to come to your Forum, just to see your comments after this man's Basketball DISASTER at the University Games.
My first question is : What is the matter with all of you ?
Does anyone of you UNDERSTAND that your team got SPANKED ??????
Does any one of you UNDERSTAND that 9th place at ANY WORLD games in Basketball for ANY US team is UNACCEPTABLE ???
Do you understand that some Japan is going to be 3rd or 4th ?
Do you realize that ANY other team on these games had tops 45 days to get together and prepare ? How long is your team together ? Year ? Two ?
Is it hard to understand that this was supposed to be USA team, from the country which INVENTED basketball ?
I can understand that you people love your team, but after this University games, what is it exactly that so many of you here are "proud of " ?
9th place ? Give me a break !!
Shame on you, shame on your coaching stuff, shame on this "team" and above all shame on the idiots from NCAA who came up with the idea of sending such team to the University Games to embarrass this country, instead of sending ANY team from Sweet 16, and have guaranteed gold.Comment

Now that you have taken your brain out and played with it..............do you have anything else intelligent to say? Shame on you...............no, we haven't been together as a "team" 1 to 2 years............no, we didn't send a pro team averaging 24 to 25 years in age........we got "tanked" in pool play..................I don't know what school you represent, but I hope we play you come tournament time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Last edited by oldcat; 08-18-2007, 12:14 AM.Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

Hilarious! The IP address comes from a comcast provider. This team didn't have years to prepare...they had 10 days to practice prior to coming to Bangkok. They got spanked by Lithuania...we know. Then, they turned around and beat everyone else by a 381-243 point differential.Originally posted by Back2BackCats View Post
Maybe, we should just tip our cap and call the Lithuanians our daddies?The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Wow. Another uneducated fanOriginally posted by Panchester View Post
Do you know that UNI (USA) beat Japan in an exhibition? Do you know that the only loss that UNI suffered in the tournament (they went 5-1) was to a team that played in the Gold medal game in Lithuania? Do you know how pathetic it is that I'm even responding at all to your moronic post? Do you realize that UNI (USA) average margin of victory was 27.6? I'd hardly say that this was "getting spanked" as you say. Now, please go back to BCS conference hell and leave us "mid-major" fans to our superior existence.
