The officiating in this game has been atrocious for such a good crew. Game turned into a shoving match. That said, it couldn’t have happened to a better fanbase. Go **** yourselves purple hawks.
I can usually be neutral when it comes to Drake or UNI, but this year I really did NOT want UNI to make it to the NCAAs. They had a pretty bad season, but lucked out by playing against a Drake team who was down another key player. Drake deserved to be in the NCAAs - sucks that McGlynn got hurt. I'm not a Bradley fan, but they at least have a winning record - they are a better representative (record-wise) of the MVC than UNI.UNI played like crap the 2nd half, but they sure got jobbed by the horrible Big 12 refs. Wow.
One thing I did notice is that drake and uni both converted made shots out of time outs almost every time. Plays were run to a t. Wish we could see that with isu.
Really wish Drake could have gotten the bid this year. They have so few good seasons.
So this is the play some of you were talking about with the dead ball foul. They called UNI's big guy for hitting the bradly guy in the face which lead to 4 free throws and the ball and 6 point possession. AJ just stood there and took a hand to the face too but did not flop like Bradley guy did and the refs went to monitor and called UNI for a T
