BringDeanBack Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Well, I suppose since the game is televised, attendance might even be lower than normal. The game should carry a "R" rating because the carnage will not be appropriate for younger viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux2013 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 With an RPI of 29 this is one of the top teams in the country. Why would people not want to go to this game? I see the sioux getting up for this game and it will be alot closer than you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 How are we defining "closer"? I would be happy with a 15pt loss. A 20pt loss will suffice. a 20+ pt loss will certainly be understandable. Everyone decides for themselves what the expectations for this team are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Why would people not want to go to this game? 1-10? Although I've tried to be the eternal optimist with this program, sadly I won't make it to the game despite the fact that I've had this circled on the schedule since it came out. I guess a 1-10 record will do that. Santa Claus coming to my town to visit the kids this Saturday sealed the deal............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizzou/sioux Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I wonder how many people around the country would be surprised to learn that despite Northern Iowa's spectacular success in recent years that UND leads the series by a healthy margin, 48 wins for the Sioux to 31 for Northern Iowa.

sioux2013 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My prediction is that the sioux will keep it under 12. Its about time the shots start falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach daddy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My prediction is that the sioux will keep it under 12. Its about time the shots start falling. Don't see anyway this game stays close. NIU guards way to hard for us to start making shots now. Maybe next game but not against NIU.

the green team Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm optimistic that we will have a good consistent effort on Saturday, and I do believe we will shoot at least a little better and we won't go 6 plus minutes without a basket. (I pray) I think Northern Iowa by 16. but I won't be totally disappointed by that. I think the Panthers will make the tournament weather they get the auto-bid or not, just looking at their RPI, I would guess they are on pace to get an invite. Providing they don't have a huge second half slide and their 2nd half schedule doesn't bring them down. I look for their RPI actually to suffer a little bit even if they do beat us. I just want our freshman to take a step forward in this game, and our veterans to make smart veteran type plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammersmith Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Don't see anyway this game stays close. NIU guards way to hard for us to start making shots now. Maybe next game but not against NIU. Sorry, pet peeve of mine. NIU is not UNI. NIU is Northern Illinois University of the Mid-American Conference(Bowling Green State, Ball State, Ohio, etc). UNI is the University of Northern Iowa of the Missouri Valley Conference(Indiana State, Southern Illinois, Drake, Wichita State, etc). With both acronyms describing midwestern DI schools, it can make things confusing if someone mixes them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachdags Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Jake can't ask his numbers 8 through 12 guys on the bench to stop playing. 2 Years ago in Ames... ISU could have been up by 30-35 at the half, Mac called off the dogs. 2nd half he some some offense that took 20-30 seconds to develop. Good Coaches are use to being Bad Coaches...
