UNI @ Drake 2/18 8pm (FSN and ESPN3)

Panthers look for their 3rd straight win in a battle with the Bulldogs. Drake always seems to play the Panthers tough, no matter the difference in records and talent, at the Knapp Center. I expect the same to happen tonight.

UNI is currently a 1 pt favorite. Game is supposed to be available on Fox Sports Midwest and ESPN3 for those who have access to either.

GO PANTHERS!

The Knapp Center is McLeod Center South...though an 8PM tip in Des Moines might keep the CF crowd away and limit it to alums in the DSM metro.

I think UNI wins this one.

I guess if every one of UNI's 4000 fans that attends the home games travelled to Des Moines you might be able to claim this is the McCleod Center South. Somehow that seems unlikely.

That is 4000 fans per game in the Golden Age of UNI Basketball. Just think what it would be like after a couple of losing seasons.

Remind me the last time UNI had a losing season...

The McLeod might start to look like the Knapp Center if that happens....

You know why it's call the Knapp Center right? Well...Take the K out of the name and you got it. The fans that go to the games average 87 and fall asleep watching shitty ass basketball year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year

Coming from the fan of a team who has the PIG night at the conference tourney named after it that's freaking rich.

UNI fans have outnumbered Drake fans every single game in DSM the last 8-10 years.

UNI owns the series record lead, has won 9 of the last 10 and 4 of the last 5 in DM.

Tuttle looking very Clockwork Orangeish with the black eye tonight.

boy, what a finish, Drake nearly blows an 18 point 2nd half lead, but wins by 3

Bulldogs were trying to save a little energy for Saturday.

For all the talk of McLeod Center South, only about a 200-300 UNI fans showed up. Drake was in complete control of the game before going to a clock killing non-offense with 7 minutes to go to almost blow it.

Yep, outnumbered by the 800 Drake fans and 25 students.
