I got a UNI vs Evansville final

Hopefully Wichita State gets an at-large bid and Northern Iowa wins the league, Northern Iowa was an odd team that seemed to only play good against good teams, so they could spring an upset or two in the tournament

Yeah I think they're like 7-4 vs the top 100 and 2-0 vs top 25 but only 19-12 overall although I believe they've won 9 out 10

They have to be one of the weirdest teams I've seen in a while, beating good teams but at one point they were 10-11 before winning 9 of 10.

and of course their one and only loss in this 10 game stretch was to a Loyola-Chicago Ramblers team with a losing record.

That's the only MVC teM that beat UNI 2 times... and I think they won 1 or 2 other MVC games combined lol

You got to love this year's Northern Iowa team

2-0 vs the Top 25
0-2 against the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers
1-1 against everyone else in the MVC

I think UNI was 11-7 in the MVC so they were 11-5 vs everyone else. Swept Drake, Bradley and Indiana St I think. Maybe it was Evansville

Great Day of Arch Madness ahead!

Fuck these refs. Vanvlette has 3 fouls early in second half and all 3 were clean strips

Nailed it

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Northern Iowa would definitely be the most intriguing if they won this tournament

 

[rmilia1]

If UNI holds on to win this thing they may have one of the most interesting resumes of all time

RPI Mid 70s
SOS 90's
Vs TOP 25 2-0
Vs TOP 50 4-1
Vs TOP 100 8-3

9! Sub 100 losses

What do you think guys? I could see 11 thru 14 and it wouldn't shock me

If they win, I think they'll be on about the 11/12 line. Some of that will depend what happens in some of the other one bid leagues(Horizon, Summit, Sun Belt etc.)

UNI is choking bad.

Evansville Stud is starting to get it going a little

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

OMG THAT BUZZARD BEATER!!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

What a fucking bounce.

Balentine did what he could.
