BTW, UNI was ranked # 11

Not sure it was justified and I was never sold on the hype. Didn't beat much of anybody. Played well at home. Struggled on road.

I know even the computers liked them but they were not impressive tonight. Very slow on offense and defense.

UNI is very good team. They just got outcoached tonight. Rick's game plan was fantastic and UL players executed it perfectly. I love watching Rick's work in late march. He is a basketball genius.

With Rick's coaching skills (especialy in March) no telling what heights the future would hold if he could take his recruitng skills to the next level.

You were spot on, you've had some great posts.

I wish you'd talk more about the games than all the other stuff you bring a lot of good insight to the board.

You're just undermining the win by claiming this.

Not really. It was a great tournament win. It's OK to think we had a step on them at every position except the 5.

Northern Iowa is a very good team. We had a talent gap over them and a better coach, but you still have to go win the games. Pitino has proven to be as adept at doing that as any other coach in the country.

Why would I undermine the win? You must not pay attention to my other posts or the subject/topic of this thread. I am thrilled with this win, but was never sold on this team as being all that great. They got a lot of hype. NC State is a lot better team.

Thanks Hop. I like to argue/debate for fun and it gets in my way sometimes. I will try to stay out of the fray and stir less pot. You are right. More basketball talk is better for all of us and can be just as enjoyable.
