UNI is a good team, but UNI wouldn't be in the Top 10 if you played in the Big 10 night in and night out and that's a fact.

I might add that we didn't lose to Evansville. We can do this all day. The point is that if UNI had to play two games against Wisconsin, two games against Ohio State, Maryland, Michigan State, Texas, Syracuse, North Carolina, etc instead of Evansville, Loyola, Southern Illinois, Bradley, etc, there's no way UNI is top 10 or even in the Top half of the B1G.
But hey, UNI is a nice little story....just like Drake was 7 years ago. Have your time in the sun until Tuttle, Washpun, etc graduate and then come back and let's see where you are.
It's been 3 years since iowa has lost to team as bad as Evansville.

Case in point: Creighton. Where are they without POY McDermott now that they're in a legit conference?

You can't just make that kind of comparison and have it be fact. We have beaten two Big 10 teams, one ACC team, and two A10 teams. The highest score from the Big 10 against us.....44 points. We obliterated Northwestern and they beat you.

Hey Dean, come on man, they will have Lohaus, Morgan, Bohannon, so I think they'll be ok.....(roll of the eyes).....
I'm going to Remember this post, 2 years from now.
How ironic it might be.......and I'm sure NEI will own it, right?
That being said, I really hope we win a couple games in the NC2A and
get another shot at the Panthers, in 2015. We can beat them. There's no doubt.
GO HAWKS
Lol at Northwestern being anywhere near as bad as Evansville.

Hypothetical land here. Say Iowa runs the table from now till say the BIG title game and say they lose to Wisky there. What's Iowa's seed then? 5ish? They'd be one of the hottest teams going if that were to play out. I just want them above the 8-9 seed line if possible... I don't want the chance of playing KY in the 2nd round real bad...

But we've beat 9 Big 10 teams, a better ACC team, and the same A10 team.
UNI beat Iowa, so you will always have that. But please dont compare schedules, cause that isnt even clise.Enjoy your success.

I would never compare conference MVC vs Big 10 schedules that would be dumb right? Those are the uncontrollable. But the OOC schedule is 100% controllable. Iowa plays Longwood and UNI plays VCU, Stephen F Austin, Northwestern(which you lost to).
I think you just gave yourself away.

Yes. It would be dumb, quite dumb. Yes, Longwood was one game, just like Morgan State was just one game for UNI. We also played and beat UNC, lost a very competitive close game against Syracuse, so not sure what your point is, yet again.
But yes, as you've mentioned a few times, UNI beat Iowa and NW(who beat Iowa and is playing pretty well lately). Both of which actually help your strength of schedule, which says a lot.
UNI is good, live the dream. Here's to all the Iowa teams playing well in March
Weird thought, NW would probably be 3rd in the MVC.
Again, UNI beat Iowa, so there's that.

A small part of me wants a shot at Kentucky. We aren't winning the title so a small chance at one of the more memorable upsets ever could be fun.

Say what you want about Northwestern, but they're on a bit of a roll.
3 game BigTen win streak, with wins against Iowa & Indiana.
Evansville have any wins like those? Of course not.
