Nah. Sam just took a bad program and made it marginally worse. The Mac thing took away what would have been program and university changing success.

In a world of conjecture. You have no idea what would have happened if Doug played at UNI.

Not a single person ever.

Literally everybody won on the Doug thing except UNI. Literally got Creighton into the Big East which hurt the Valley way more than Wichita and Loyola leaving. Iowa State got PAID to get rid of a coach they didn't want.

UNI would have had 3 freaking years of Dougie and Tuttle playing together and that was in the pre-transfer portal world. Literally zero doubt that UNI would've had at least two second weekends if not a Final Four.

UNI would currently be in the Mountain West with all facilities redone and pretty damn close to self sufficient financially. Literally a university changing series of events.

Interesting take..I always figured UNI to the MAC if they ever bolted the Valley.

The MAC is even unlikely.

At best, UNI getting Doug would have been like NIU's Orange Bowl- 15 minutes in the spotlight, but fading back rather quickly. They don't have the setup that Creighton or Wichita St did to have a couple good season propel them to a new conference.

Yeah, I was thinking you'd have to add a couple things to the original posts dream reality like a couple NC's in football. Never happened and UNI's in the Valley..Now what if Marcus Fizer would have came back for his senior season? Bet we'd be in the big10..lol

Upgraded athleticism, and with Green scoring. Remains to be seen whether that translates to chemistry and the court.

I think that could possibly be a trade-off we take. We needed better athletes but it could come at the cost of not as good chemistry as last year. Higher ceiling but maybe a lower floor.

We have more players that are athletic, particularly on the bench,. Certainly deeper in that regard. I don’t know if we got more athletic in terms of a starting lineup. Hunter and IB were top athletes. There isn’t a duo of Holmes, AJB, and even Williams as athletic
