UNI Beating Down NW

[HawkeyeMike23]

Ok. Maybe very good wasn't the best wording but they are a solid team and far from a bad team. Richmond's 3 losses are against teams with a total of 1 loss. ODU has wins against VCU and LSU.

What about our four wins has wowed you? Richmond would be by far our best win right now if we played them.

UNI will be a very tough game. We will probably be slight underdogs in the game.

We have five wins not four and our two losses are to a one loss Syracuse team, by three points, and to an undefeated Texas team, who we led at halftime, and people act like our team is crap and has no shot at the tournament. Yet Richmond is a "very good" team because they've beat High Point and Radford and lost to every one else they've played and UNI is going to run us off the court because they've beat a couple decent mid majors and two of the worst major conference teams in the country. We won't be underdogs to UNI, it will be pick em at worst.

Our guard play will smoke UNI.

Not sure if serious. The most likely people to smoke UNI are Woodbury, Gabe, and White. UNI has 1 very good post player in Tuttle but nothing else. Guard/wing is where there depth is.

Richmond is a decent bball team. KenPom ranking in the 50s and haven't lost to anyone they shouldn't have. They are better than Pepperdine, equal at worst.

Kenpom loves Richmond but their record is pretty meh right now. None of that matters though because UNI is good. Which is good because it gives us a shot at a neutral court, good victory.

The hawkeyes will most certainly be the underdog. Leading at halftime counts for what? You lost by 20 to Texas correct?

The early RPI just came out: UNI is 16, Iowa is 28, no wait that is Iona, Iowa is 61. SIXTY ONE. What do you think of those apples HawkeyeMike?

I know people think I am crazy but I think there is a strong chance we lose all 3 games against ISU, NC and UNI.

UNI up 52-35 with 9 to play on NW

I need to eat some major CROW, served up on a freaking huge platter as I thought we were going to lose all three of NC, ISU and UNI. Glad to eat it and I am certifiably crazy!

UNI always gets zero love. They've been a good team for about a decade.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

UNI taking the powerhouse that is George Mason to OT...at home. I'm sure UNI would have won at UNC too, they did beat Richmond after all.

 

[Hawkeye32]

Our frontcourt will overwhelm UNI, beating a crappy NW team is not that impressive.

UNI was really overwhelmed today....

 

[Fairfax]

Our guard play will smoke UNI.

I was just wondering if you still feel the same way?
