I believe the UNI color commentator on basketball is Kevin Boyle,the former Hawkeye player.
Correct. He was on Iowa's Final Four team in the 80s and was an assistant coach at UNI in the 80s and/or 90s I believe.

Gary's actually not bad.
We, as Iowa State fans, have been spoiled by the quality of our play by play guys because we have had GREAT ones in Pete and now John.
But listen to Rima's call at the end of the Kansas game, from when Ali made that 3 till the end. He was phenomenal.
Yeah, I find it embarrassing. If you're a UNI alum, support your school, especially if they're playing an in-state rival. I hate dual-fans, but I also realize if UNI didn't have them our fan base would be significantly smaller than it already is.
This is honestly the main reason I enjoy beating Iowa and Iowa State so much because we have so many alums that choose to cheer for ISU and Iowa even when UNI plays them. I like knowing that a UNI alum who chose to cheer for the other team gets to experience the disappointment of losing to the Panthers, which is exactly why I'd love to beat Iowa in football one of these days and put them all in their place.
I always respect UNI for how they play the game. If Iowa State played with that kind of intensity all the time, they would be nearly unstoppable IMO.
Sometimes our guys spend more energy complaining to the refs than they do playing good hard defense. That drives me nuts. Just play the game and let the coaches take care of the refs.
But both teams can be proud of their head coaches. Class guys. Iowa's, not so much.
And not to discredit UNI, but I have no idea what kind of defensive strategy we came out with last night in that 1st half. We packed it inside, and let UNI have the open outside shot whenever they wanted it. I've never seen us play such a conservative style of defense ever. If we played more pressure man to man defense all game long like we did in the 2nd half, I think we win BIG.

I have a lot of connections to UNI living up here(my wife is a UNI grad). This game is always a tough one for me because of that. On paper we should have blown them out, but we were due for an off game. Much rather see it against UNI than Iowa. Glad we got the win.
Sorry. I've been an diehard ISU basketball fan since I was eight years old. I went to UNI because it fit my needs. I didn't choose my school based on who I rooted for in game where you throw an orange ball through an orange metal rim. I cheer for UNI as long as they aren't playing ISU. ISU and UNI aren't at the same level in athletics so I don't see why one can't be a fan of both. It's just a game.
Ok, I totally understand that. Then why do so many ISU fans rip on Iowa fans that do the same thing? Not trying to start an argument, just asking a question.
And if we're being technical, UNI and ISU play at the same level in every sport except football.
They rip on UNI students/alum who cheer for Iowa or ISU. It pi##es me off when ISU fans try to belittle UNI students. I wasn't being technical. They are both division 1, but they really aren't at the same level. ISU shouldn't lose to UNI. It's nobody's fault but ISU's when they do though, and there's no reason to trash UNI students/alum when they do.
They're trashing the fans who cheer for other teams above their own team. I have no problem with UNI students or fans cheering for other Iowa teams, but don't cheer for them against your own school. I'm a huge Iowa State fan, but if Wooster played them in something I'd cheer for Wooster. I wouldn't be an *** about it, but I'd cheer for my college.
My favorites are the Iowa fans who never went to college and cheer for the Hawkeyes and then they can't possibly understand why anyone would want to cheer for Iowa State or UNI, even if your an alum of the school. Stay classy Hawkeye fans...
