NIU is gonna try to slow the game down, Ill State needs to avoid forcing the issue, and play their silky smooth Bill Self flavored offense.

I go to NIU, Illinois State is playing UNI today, lol. But yeah, I would agree and imagine today's game will be won by whoever can control the pace. I expect that team to be the Redbirds.

Felix Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) 19 points in the first half for ISU. I'm in awe at how much these non-Big Ten teams score. Osiris also looks like complete s*** right now offensively. And now everything is changing. Should be a fun one to watch.

The Valley is a low scoring league and a down league this year to boot, so I don't get the bolded. Big Ten teams inability to score is still going to get them in the NCAA Tournament. As for the topic at hand, this game is getting interesting as your last sentence points out. Illinois State is imposing the tempo, as opposed to the first half in which Northern Iowa did a great job of making this a boring, abomination of a basketball game. The UNI lead is down to 1.

One of the various ISU fanboys brought up two of Illinois's low scoring games as a knock on them being the best team in Illinois earlier this year. Because of this, I simply assumed ISU scored 200 points a game. ISU has really played some good defense so far in the second half though.

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 And the announcers are idiots for calling that a smart play by Sampay when he kicked the ball up. He had a wide open layup, and when you are only up 1 possession you take the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 It would have been nice if I could watch the end of it. Did they really need to switch to Duke/UNC? God forbid we miss 2 minutes of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate us because we're better at football AND basketball compared to Iowa State, haha. Sure UNI lost to ISU in overtime but they've improved a lot over the course of the season. Come on, represent the state, haha. I root for Iowa, Iowa State, UNI, and Drake in playoff/bowl games.

kjshoe04 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Choke. That really sucked. Osiris was the best player out there this weekend. It was a good time and wish it hadn't ended that way. The entire student section thought the shot at the end of regulation had gone in. It was crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
