UNI vs. Illinois State

Looks like the stage is set for panther disappointment in the big dance. This team is going to get bounced early.

As much as I'd love for that to happen, I'm not quite sure. UNI is an enigma. Part of me thinks they are highly overrated and haven't played anyone...but part of me thinks they are that good shooting, fundamentally sound team that could give teams trouble in the Dance
 
If anyone should know beating UNI is not an easy task, it's us. Don't know why it is so hard to give some credit.

Because they have done nothing to give credit for. And yeah, we had some losses to them a few years back, but who the hell couldnt beat us before hoiball was in effect?
 
Difference between first half and second is UNI making their threes. If they don't make them in the tourney they will be out early, if the get hot they could make a little run imo.
 
Can't believe I had to mute a UNI game but the announcers cheering every time they scored was making me ill. I guess they don't want three Mo Valley teams in the dance either.
 
We've played them twice since Fred has taken over and we are 1-1.

That first time being in Fred's first year, ie before hoiball was installed (we were terrible that year, if you forget). In the first month of that throwaway year even. And we still barely lost at their place.
