UNI forfeit?

[glm38]

Pretty rare for a Valley team to end their season on a win. 2015 Loyola won the CBI, right? 2011 WSU won the NIT. Any others in recent history?

MSU won the CIT in i think it was 2010.

Still celebrating to this day.

Another fun layer from Jake and UNI today...

The Enterprise Center was not set up for any ability to social distance in the locker rooms after every school was required to provide additional space for visiting teams all year.

Just a massive, massive failure from conference leadership.

Northern Iowa fans...

You weren't winning this tournament even if you played last night.

Trump far right (this covid thing is fake) people. GTFO and get educated. College is a thing and helps you become more intelligent. Go talk to a covid nurse or doctor versus the Q and Trump told "fake truths"

Either way, this is cbb in a covid world. UNI wasnt winning anything. You barely beat my crappy Birds.

LOL what a dumb ass post. What a loser you are

Classy. Keyboard warrior.

Realistically, you weren't winning Arch Madness. I get the anger for the cancellation, but be honest with yourselves. Your team wasn't Valpo from last year (they were 19-16 as the 7 seed). You were 10-15 with three straight wins against my crap squad to even get to double digit wins (and one was against an NAIA team and another against a D3 team to get there).

Just relax and get off your high horse.

UNI's probability of winning the tournament was low. But they players who have worked very hard all season during this crazy year did not deserve to have their season end this way. That's the point. That's what is so unfair.

This isn't Shocker fans complaining about a clock-operator. Human error in a basketball game happens. But in this case the game didn't even happen and that could have been avoided with a little planning.

I'm sure Missouri State would have appreciated Drake having to play 40 minutes with a depleted roster on Friday night.

This has nothing to do with UNIs chances. it's about the league's failure to have a plan in place to complete the tournament and signature event. 'Our fault, sucks to be you' is not the response of a competent leadership team.

MSU fan here...yes, as a fan, I would have rather them played the night before

I was just making a general statement about UNI's chances at winning the tournament. The trickle down (i.e. - MSU) and what happened to cause this, I am 100% on board with what you are saying. Imagine if it was Drake who had to forfeit (more of what I was getting at). How does that impact their at-large chances?!

I don't care which school it affected. With competent leadership, it doesn't happen to any league school. The tournament should not have been played in St Louis if those were the rules and all it would have taken was somebody to pick up the damn phone. There are, at least, a dozen buildings in the league footprint that could have accommodated our needs for this year.

Frankly, even though he's retiring, Elgin should resign immediately and this should disqualify anybody on that current leadership team from becoming commissioner after he's gone. When your unable to ensure basic rules of the competition your hosting, you are an unfit leader. It's a shame that this is a black eye on what has otherwise been an outstanding career.
