I guess this is really happening. I am guessing iowa has never been involved or included or asked to be involved in one of these ESPN events?

Fan everywhere is super excited

Iowa would be UNI in a rematch and UNI plays in a weak conference so there is that to consider.

Cool, Gameday heading to Wichita not Cedar Falls.

yeah it was super impressive the way they scored 56 points against a team ranked 300th in college basketball. Lead of course by all century player wyatt lohaus and his 1 point

Kudos to both programs. Some nice publicity for the smaller schools.

Be careful, a lot of people around here are mad that Fran didn't offer this kid or any of the other in-state UNI guys.

That doesn't make any sense. If Iowa would be UNI then who would UNI be? ISU? Iowa still gets burned down by double digits either way. Let's make UNI be Drake, then it should be a closer game.

Ssh....were trying to get this pest out of here and bring him back down to reality. That said, I would bet on Iowa in Iowa City (but not in Cedar Falls). And, yes, I do think they play in a rather weak conference. I don't think UNI looks as impressive playing in the Big Ten.

Bilas also called us a final four team last year, some great analysis there lol.

Probably not even in the Mountain West. The MVC is a weak mid-major conference.

OK. What was the date on that quote from Jay Bilas on Twitter? I've searched his Twitter feed and if he did post it, it was posted before October 21, 2014. He has made exactly two references to Northern Iowa: one pertaining to Seth Tuttle and one pertaining to how good their managers are.

I think he said it this week on gameday.

Cool. The fact is they only started b-ball Gamedays this year about mid season. Of course you knew that living in your little bubble and all.

I don't agree. UNI plays super slow basketball in a super slow league, against teams that suck. There are exactly 2 games worth even looking at, both WSU games. The rest of the games are the equivalent of playing Texas Tech or Rutgers over and over, AKA only interesting to the fans of those schools.
