UNI @ Missouri St 2/19 7pm

[unipanther99]

Checking UNI's RPI, it's still holding at 70. That's barely NIT eligible.

The at-large ship has sailed for the Panthers. It sailed a while ago. There is no way a 12-loss team from the Valley is getting an at-large. Not to mention in the other thread TAS pointed out they crapped the bed against every decent team they played away from home. They got swept by Indiana State, and even worse, Evansville. They have three home wins over St. Mary's, WSU, and Creighton.

The damage is already done.

We agree. No need to rub it in.

From this UNI fan's perspective, it's all about momentum going into the MVC tournament. The Panthers are the most dangerous team in the Valley right now... That's a good position to be in, and I think we're on track for a second straight NIT bid if we come up short in St. Louis.

We put a pretty good nail into ISUb's at-large coffin and would like to see a final nail driven into UNI's at-large coffin.

Seems to me that that's a strange thing to take pride in.

I agree. UNI looks very strong heading into the tournament. And if they don't win the tourney, the NIT bid should be set.

If WSU doesn't win the conference tourney, I hope UNI does. Creighton and WSU should both get at-large bids, setting us up well in the tourney.

Just think where UNI would have been this year if they had McDermott. What a fun year UNI would have had. I guess that is the breaks.

At first I read that and thought you meant Greg McDermott, and was about to respond with 0-6 in February instead of 6-0 in February.

Hard to say where we would be with Doug. A lot of water under the bridge with that one.

You didn't just stick the knife in, you had to twist it. Didn't you??

How come ISUr fans aren't upset like UNI fans? It is practically the same situation, just less complaining.

What in the world are you talking about?
