Wyoming gets Northern Iowa in Seattle
- Thread starter Wyokie
- Start date
Northern Iowa should have been a 3 seed. Did the committee - a bunch of Easterners - choose this matchup because the Wyoming win screwed up their pre-scheduled picks and forced their Eastern darling Temple out? Also, they might have done CSU a favor. CSU could easily advance to the NIT final four.
Surprised to hear so many people saying they like the draw. Northern Iowa is an excellent basketball team. This will easily be the best basketball team we have played this year. Would have much rather of been matched up with Arkansas or West Virginia as far as 5 seeds go.
On a side note, Utah is going to be one hell of a dangerous 5 seed in my opinion.

Yeah I agree completely with this.
I would have rather had W. Virginia or Arkansas or even Louisville as a 5 seed actually because they go on scoring droughts and so does W. Virginia. Arkansas is less disciplined.
I honestly don't like this match up overall. No one is going to give us a chance in this game though so maybe we will shock everyone.

Well, the Pokes have until Friday to prepare for this game. No "gimmes" in the NCAA.

Making the same offer now that I did for Vegas, Double queen room anyone that wants to split bill hit me up and let me know booking tonight!
SLC to SEA is pricy. Jeez.
Biggest expense in SEA will probably be hotels. I went there last May on may way to Alaska and rooms were spendy. And the Airport is quite a trek to Seattle.

My Vegas winnings are going to let me see the Pokes at least one more time!
Dick Vitale just showed the Pokes some love on ESPN. They were looking at the 12 vs 5 upsets and in the last 3 years, the 12 has upset the 5 66% of the time. He loves Wyoming and thinks if the Pokes are on, they have a very good chance of pulling the upset and moving on. He absolutely loves Shyatt and Nance. GO COWBOYS!!!!

The more I look at this match up we can control it down low with Nance and Cooke. A lot of it will come down to if we can not turn the ball over. That will be a HUGE key in this game.
They have multiple good shooters. So have to defend the 3 like against CSU and Boise St. The more I look at this match up though the more I am starting to like it. We are more athletic than them for sure but they play very very disciplined basketball.
