UNI loses to DePaul.

[Cydkar]

Surprised, actually. UNI was good in the first half (+10) but I didn't pay much attention to how they lost the lead. No inside game from the announcer's take. 60-52. DePaul was 9-24 last year.

 

[WalkingCY]

They wore purple...that is why they lost.

 

[Knownothing]

Depaul has Nyal "Mac" Koshwal. He almost came to Iowa State. Dude is freaking good.

 

[dtclones]

Never thought UNI was that good to begin with. I understand they had all their starters back but the media was making it sound like they were in position to be a top 20 team. They probably still should have beaten DePaul though. Looks like our opponents have no concerns with helping us keep a strong RPI.

yeah really... it's like they have no respect

 

[Cydkar]

Our RPI will be fine.

They shot crazy-bad in the 2nd half ... they started out shooting like 8/12 from 3-land and ended the game 9/24

Good for DePaul, they have been terrible lately.

And Drake just beat Georgia State 65-58

Good for Drake, I think they will get better, esp. of Josh gets healthy. That kid from Michigan can shoot, not like the kid from Germany, but still a pretty nice shot.

Lucca .517
Simons .571 and can create his own shot.

Killer loss for the Missouri Valley.

Hard to justify a stronger year for the conference when your best team loses to a Big East team that went 0-fer last year in conference.

THE Georgia State!?

Yea too bad this one game will decide how the conference looks the rest of the year. And I like Creighton to win the Valley this year.

9/24 = 38% from 3-point range = not bad

Teams that rely heavily on the 3-point shot will have very inconsistent results. That's why I love the fact that have a serious inside game as well as a serious outside game - pick your poison!

 

[Cydkar]

They fell in love with the '3' in the first half and got left at the alter by it in the 2nd half.

 

[ISUChippewa]

Yeah, bad loss for the Panthers and a very disappointing result (I'm a dual fan, got my degree from UNI in '97). It's only the 2nd game of the season, so hopefully DePaul will go on to have a good season and UNI can recover quickly and easily.

I don't know what to think about Jordan Eglseder. He can put up some dominant numbers in some games and then absolutely disappear in other games. I would really like to see some consistency out of him for once.

Panthers defeated Boston College today 81-69. Kwadzo Ahelegbe with 32 points.
