UNI will be in the Final Four

Anyone with me, after they blow out MSU without Lucas, they will beat the Vols by a point or two?

I think they will run out of gas after their MSU Victory

Too bad they won't play the Vols. Ohio State is the heavy favorite to win that region now.

I think the potential is there to beat MSU without Lucas, but I doubt they are able to get past OSU.

I think they lose by 8-10 to MSU - bad matchup. MSU always plays very physical and will out-ugly UNI.

Yeah, just like we should've blown out MSU in 2000. Back to the pumpkin patch for UNI.

UNI will beat OSU before Tennessee.....the Vols will be like flys on crap. OSU isnt a deep team and they get tired as the games goes on while UNI rotates players and minutes. If they can get by Mich State this will get very interesting

UNI was all over Kansas.....the only team that can do what Kansas did the final few minutes against UNI is Tennessee

I agree. Don't see them getting past the Spartans.

That's what my bracket (second chance) says, too, although my heart says they can do it.

Well, they beat KU so it isn't hard to imagine them beating anybody else, imo. Just some random food for thought...every time Izzo has made the sweet 16 with MSU they have gone on to the Final 4.

UNI has the best defense of any team left in the field, and its not even close. Look at what they have done to some of the best scoring teams in the country. Don't count them out of anything, not with that defense and free throw shooting.

A once in a program upset can only happen once.

As much as I'd like to see UNI beat MSU, I think this is where their luck runs out. KU shot its worst of the season from 3-pt range against UNI. Collins was 4-15 from the field and Taylor was 0-6. Part of that is UNI's defense but another part involves wide-open missed shots. If just two of those had gone in KU would probably have won.

I do think the game will be close though. UNI's offense isn't the best, but they'll keep it close with defense.
