UNI At it Again

[cyclonedave25]

GMac is a good coach and recruits good players. He was snake-bitten here but otherwise he's a top-notch coach.

I’m not sure you can call a coach who has never made it out of the first weekend “top notch”.

Shh, don't tell him

You mean we play UNI this year instead Drake??? Crap.

Glad UNI lost.

What's wrong with that? They clearly have the best win

And the two losses are to Carolina and Villanova.

UNI still setting basketball back 40 years? Awesome let’s lick their balls endlessly in this thread and talk about how we missed on their one and two star Iowa small school players.

UNI always blitzes superior teams at the beginning of the season by playing more focused basketball than them. Gotta match their intensity on defense to beat them. The lack of athleticism will do them in as always. They’re annoying.

Not sure I believe this. Ben makes $500k at UNI, and he was demanding $3.5M at A&M, and turned down just over $2M to stay at UNI for $500K?

He must REALLY love UNI and Cedar Falls not to accept over 4x his current salary.

He's over a million all said and done with an annual $50k raise through 2027.

$1 Million plus, total job security and your wife's dream home in Cedar Falls, Iowa seems pretty good when you grew up the son of a high school principal in Mayville, North Dakota (Population: 1800)

Jacobson reminds me of McDermott. He's perfect for a size school like uni, but don't think he'd cut it in the big 12.

I think he was a major reason behind McDermott's success at UNI
