I think if Doug McDermott had gone to UNI they'd probably win the league again this year.

UNI up 1 at Missouri St with about 30 seconds left.

[BUBraves06]

Two great games today, looks like both are gonna be down to the last possession.

[Braves4Life]

Weems just put another notch up for POY.

[BradleyBrave]

Weems with a fadeaway jumper, MSU by 1 with 18 ticks left.

[BradleyBrave]

Moran fouled on a putback by Weems with 5 seconds left. 2 shots.

Moran sinks both, UNI by 1 with 5.2 seconds left.

[BradleyBrave]

UNI does it again on the road!

60-59 over the Bears in Springfield.

UNI is on the cusp of the at-large conversation. MSU and WSU had better watch out, there's no way this league puts 3 teams in, so one of them would have to take the fall.

[Braves4Life]

And Jacobson making a strong case for COY.

[BradleyBrave]

And Jacobson making a strong case for COY.

Yes he is. I think it's a 3 horse race between Martin, Jacobson, and Lansing.

Wow folks...UNI is running a pretty impressive program...

And we here at BU spent a lot of time degrading those people, and they are shooting it down our throats regularly

I don't recall anyone doing that srw. Care to provide any specific examples?

[Da Coach]

The way it looks to me now is that both teams (UNI and MSU), along with Wichita State, may only get an NCAA bid if they win the tournament.

[TheAsianSensation]

I'm going to see what BB games are coming for all the at-large contenders before declaring anyone out. I think people don't realize how still in this WSU is in.

Agree with you srw. Same can be said about Evansville. Some folks have short memories

Please. Evansville? What is Marty Simmons' 4-year record there?
Answer: 47-65, and they are 12-9 this season (11-9 against D1). I like Marty Simmons and I think he has done fairly well, but lets not try to rewrite the facts and make him into Dean Smith yet. Note that the cupboard was not bare when he got to Evansville either.
So save the accolades for when he gets Evansville to the NCAA tournament.

And I agree that Jacobson has done a great job at UNI, but some people don't seem to recall that he inherited a perennial NCAA team when he got there.
