Arch Madness championship game thread - Illinois St vs UNI

[glm38]

I don't really think ISUr is falling apart so much as UNI has just come alive. I liked Jacobsen's confidence at halftime.

UNI doing a great job of over-selling contact with IlSt players to make it look like they're being launched out of a cannon.

Seriously. For a team that plays such physical defense they sure do exaggerate contact a lot on the other end.

It's such a weird juxtaposition. They play physical and weak at the same time. And they get away with both. The contrast is probably what helps them get more calls.

I swear in the locker room Ben must have said. "Look if we're gonna get back into this we're gonna have to do a lot more flopping!"

ISUR body language say it over, UNI victory. Book it Dano!

Bunch of BCS bubble teams just let out a collective sigh of relief with UNI victory.

Congrats UNI. Great tourney and season. Watching ISUr in the tournament it's hard to believe they didn't have a better overall record than they did.

Congrats to the Panthers on the title and saving some face for the league.

Good luck to the Redbirds in the CBI.

Wow what a crazy game. I really don't think Jake did much at half. Maybe told the guys to pick up the intensity on defense, and to just keep shooting. There was no way ISUr could keep shooting like that, and there certainly was no way we were going to keep missing open shots.

Didn't think there was any chance we would win that when we were down 18, but I knew our guys wouldn't stop fighting! Awesome!!

Now to just wait until Sunday to find out our seed!

Good game Panthers way to come out and make your shots the 2nd half and turn up the level of intensity. Best of luck in the tournament we'll be pulling for u guys!
