Way off topic, but Chaminade just destroyed Cal in the Maui Invitational. This is the same Cal that Wichita was trailing by 18 to in the second half.

UE loses on last second shot 63-61 to La Tech Simmons high scorer @15 points

Sorry to make the prognosticators wrong, UNI holds off SMU 61-58 in the Battle 4 Atlantis, never trailed in the 2nd half but withstood a couple of runs. Will take on NC State tomorrow afternoon (2 central time).

Haldeman with 15 pts
Koch with 12 and 8 boards
Pickford with 11 and 9 boards
Carlson with 7 and 8 boards
McCloud with 10

I think the last SMU lead was just before the 10 minute mark of the first half. Per the box score

UNI led 29:25
SMU led 9:08
Tied 1:15

Not sure why that doesn't equal 40 but oh well.

For about 30 minutes UNI looked really damn good. For about 10 minutes it wasn't so good.

Get a win vs NC State tomorrow and avoid a blow out in the title game and this tournament is a massive success.


Pickford will be the FOY. He's a walking double double

Excellent day/night across the Valley as it's 5-1 (2-1 vs. D1). Oooh so close on that Aces game, but a good Bears win, and a BIG shout out to UNI for taking down SMU....never liked Jankovich. Looking forward to the Panthers taming the Wolfpack.

Hope it's a great Turkey Day for all the MVC fans and families

It's early and there are some other great freshman but Pickford in 5 games has

5 pts, 3 boards vs North Carolina then
16 points, 10 boards
9 points, 13 boards
8 points, 14 boards
11 points, 9 boards

A mini-disaster for UNI, they lose access to a signature win chance. NC State beats Arizona.

All the pressure in the world tomorrow - lose to NCSU and you're quite likely facing Tennessee, and facing the prospect of missing out on the top 3 teams in the Atlantis field.

Actually the first shot was 2 feet short and the winning shot off a great saved ball rebound was a perfect swish. No where near depressing as that loss 2 years ago.
