UNI vs Purdue

[BUBalum05]

Purdue up 16-6 with 13min to go in the 1st. Purdue has dominated every second of this game. I'm not sure UNI has even had a pass into the post yet. Let's hope UNI shows up to represent the MVC and make it a game.

Game and 1/2 to go, but if this is the Valley Champion and tournament winner, they are doing much for our prestige.
Oh-Oh 20-13 and panthers have the ball.

The announcers just said that UNI was having a tough time getting their shots off against Purdue's big guards. Yeah..... that would be nice. Im just kidding. But not to hijack the thread. This is going to be a tough one for UNI. Hope they win to make the Valley look good.

32-20 at half. Not looking good for UNI or the valley. I hope UNI at least breaks 40.

Terrible charge call on Faroukmanesh (sp?). Wipes out a possible three-point play.

[Rusty 54]

42-48 Purdue ahead, UNI making a run

Only a 5 point game with 1:19 left and heading to the FT line for Purdue. I think we all remember what happened in Peoria lol.

If they made a few more three's, UNI would be leading by now. PU () up 55-51 with 1:07 left.

[Bravesfan]

Awful charge earlier.

Two point game now! Purdue up 56-54 with 17 secs left! FT's for Purdue upcoming.

[BUBalum05]

Kudos to UNI for sticking with it. CBS just switched back for me. Let's hope they overcome the last 4 points in 17sec to play!

[jasonpeoria911]

And Purdue has it won. UNI made some key 3's at the end but a couple crucial charges hurt their momentum. Good game overall though, about all you can ask for.

Good effort by UNI.

Honestly, I thought both those charges were good calls.

[Guinness]

And thats why this year is pathetic for the Valley.

[Bravesfan]

A good effort by UNI. It was close enough that it still shows the "little guys" can play with the "big boys". But the fact that UNI did not win will probably not be enough for the BCS bunch to change their minds about taking more mid-majors into the tournament in the future.

Norther IA. did the Valley proud. Like Butler they started slow and just could not climb all the way up and over the mountain.
Both teams, N IA and Butler, return almost every significant player and should be very good next year.

I am excited about all the Mid Major opportunities next year including the local club.
Just win baby and THEY will not be able to ignore us!
Go BU!
