Redbirds coming to Cedar Falls tomorrow. UNI still licking our wounds. Would be nice for us to get a win and start to feel comfortable about avoiding the play in round.

Ditto. I think a win at your place would guarantee that we don't play on Thursday. What worries me is that we have 3 of 4 games left on the road. Our last home game is vs. WSU and to quote Jank, "it might as well be considered a road game too." He likes to downplay us a lot.

This should be a good one. I think the birds are starting to play their best basketball of the year. I think they finally shifted gears Defensively and Jank has thrown some things in that are helping us out tremendously. Carmichael has been fantastic and Tyler Brown is averaging something like 17pts in valley play.

Game is on comcast.

I would like to see this match-up in St. Louis.
Will watch some of this game tomorrow.

Another nice match-up I'd like to see is Evansville-Missouri St.

I'm not sure where I want to be seeded in St Louis as long as we're not playing on Thursday. So while it is a big game tomorrow I think it matters more to UNI.

I don't think Coach Jankovich has ever won in Cedar Falls (nor Terre Haute either).

It would be nice to break both of those streaks in one season.

Anthony Cousin is out for ISU with a sprained ankle (happened in practice on Friday)

UNI opens up a 67-50 lead.

Seth Tuttle of UNI is looking more and more like the MVC Freshman of the Year - 17pts & 11rebs in 78-63 win over Illinois State

Well, that was completely unexpected. The margin that is.
