Northern Iowa is about to beat Kansas

[XU-07]

Wow... did not see this coming.

[Muskie1000]

shows you how any team can be beaten on any day.

[XURunner85]

wow there goes all my brackets....I am done, unless the other #1's go down, which I really hope happens...

[Muskie73]

too bad Raverty(sp) didn't call the game. That final three pointer definitely deserved an "ONIONS" call.

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

I picked Northern Iowa over Kansas. And by "I picked" I mean I didn't pick

[blobfan]

That was awesome!!!

[GuyFawkes38]

you guys know what this means, right. This means the MVC is a better conference than the A10. heh.

Those two guys were cracking me up. It's like the one guy got so much hair there was none left for the other. They made me think of a pair of Vikings.

What a great game. Man, I hope we take care of business in Milwaukee. This year is incredibly wide open and the opportunity for a truly unforgettable run is opening up.

[Flexo]

If we win and Michigan State loses tomorrow, we'd be the only program with a current streak of three Sweet 16s in a row.

There's your pre-game speech, Mack.

HOLY COW!

Way to go Northern Iowa. Major bracket carnage this weekend!

[X Factor]

My wife saw those two guys on the bench at the end of the game and said, "Look at those hillbillies."

Northern Iowa played a heck of a game. How many offers is that coach gonna get?

[picknroll]

Oh, :eek: the possibilities...National Semifinal: The Xavier University vs. the Ohio State University? Pure.

:logo::shield::sword:

[picknroll]

While things are on a roll...does Kentucky go down vs. Wake tonight? I say count it... ;)

After watching this year's tournament, I now feel that Xavier has as good of a chance as anyone to make the Final Four (and possibly more?).

I said on another board that I thought 2 #1s could lose before the end of the first weekend this year. This was well before any of the brackets were announced, I was basing it on the turnover I saw in the top 5 throughout the year. There just wasn't the definitive "dominating" team like we have had in years past. (and no, I'm not saying I called it, just am saying that this years tourney was a lot more wide open than many of the talking heads really thought)

I was feeling a similar vibe as I realized Kansas was not in Kansas anymore.

Watching UNI-UNLV Thursday evening, I remarked that Kansas could not sleepwalk against either of these two really good teams.

I would like our ogre to learn to play just like their ogre:

Egleseder (sp?) is barely recognizable in that picture; he looks much more fearsome with his shaven head.

[The_Mack_Pack]

All year long I kept saying that Northern Iowa sucked so I'm going to eat my crow. O'REAAARRR!

[danaandvictory]

If they get their inbounds plays sorted, I see no reason UNI can't go to the Final Four.
