Uni 12/2/2020

UNI was picked 3rd in the MVC.
NDSU was picked 5th in the Summit (say what you will about the Summit but it is a better WBB league than the MVC)

Last meeting: UNI 95 - NDSU 63

This year: NDSU 85 - 68.

I had stuff last night so will be watching it today.

I've already seen some of the best passing from a Bison team in a loooong time.

Wow great start.

Really nice game last night. 2nd Quarter not the best for either team. NDSU played well down the stretch not forcing up shots and knocking down free throws. To many fouls but shooting over 50% from field and 14 turnover is very good.

UNI returns four starters and its top-five scorers off of a stellar 2019-20 team.

UNI is coming off of an impressive defensive win against Creighton.

So the Bison shot amazingly well in the 1st half - 71% in the 1st quarter - and shot well for the game (52.6% FG - 50% threes)(only 10 three attempts).
Would guess the Panthers ran into the wrong team on the wrong night......:)
Fun to read Tony’s comment on the good passing!
