Damn it! I wanted Forbes announced Monday... not to say that couldn't happen though, he is just an assistant (a guy can dream right?)

 

[ibahawkeye]

getting pumped for the UNI game!!

Tennessee to the Final 4, you heard it here first!

LOL, way to go out on a limb now that they are already in the elite 8.

It's these hard hitting predictions that keep folks coming back for more. Actually I was just thinking it would drag out the Pearl/Forbes story for another week.

and they'll either matchup with a team that can't match em physically...or one missing it's best player.

UNI isn't missing their best player.

UNI defense strong as always

I know it's worked all year for them, but playing with your 2nd 5 for several minutes in this big of a game? Just killed the momentum seems like

Agree... and I think Ben saw that as he got his starters back in a lot sooner than normal.

Jake Koch may end up being better than his big bro! He's come up big this season in the MVC tourney and the NCAA tourney and he's still just a redshirt freshman.

they're doing better than i thought they would, but that's what i said last game. they definitely aren't over their heads like st mary's was tonight.

 

[big10fan]

didn't think UNI would get blown out, but didn't dream they'd be up at half!

 

[gohawkz]

D-FENSE!!! 20 more minutes!! I swear that was the fastest 1st half I've ever seen.

 

[switch351]

MSU only getting one basket in the last 9:18 is crazy. UNI could easily be up 15 right now

They probably didn't score until the 16 minute mark or so before MSU hit back to back 3 pointers so there is another 4 minutes to add without a basket.

Purdue grinding against Duke. Down by 1 at the half.

 

[DDThompson]

OSU played nonchalantly for the last couple of minutes. They appeared to have an air of destiny rather than an attitude of urgency.

UNI has played very well.

Gotta keep Koch outta foul trouble and keep feeding Egleseder to keep MSU defense honest and get ready to knock down some threes when they decide to 2x team him.

Outrebounding MSU? Nice.

Izzo might have been thinking the same thing.
