... was pretty entertaining tonight. Drake now in a 4-way tie for 1st in the MVC. UNI in a 4-way tie for 2nd, one game back. 8 teams within one game of the conference lead. That's kind of cool.
But he came up a bit short...It was a great crowd tonight, panther hoks were outnumbered in the crowd. Born was unstoppable when it counted.
Did they have Wilkins on him?It was a great crowd tonight, panther hoks were outnumbered in the crowd. Born was unstoppable when it counted.
NBC Sports Chicago on my YTTV.Where were you all watching it? Tried to watch on ESPN+ and it said it was blacked out. Never seen that before.
So KU?Someone on the Drake board mentioned rumors are starting to swill that Born might go looking for greener pastures. That would be an interesting thread to follow.
Just like Yesefu. Joe got his ring but doesn't play much. I wonder how ok with that he really is.So KU?
Wait, you watched it on ESPN+? Where are you located?The women’s game between the two was bonkers as well. UNI won on a buzzer beater. Grateful for ESPN+ because I would have never watched it otherwise.
Ugh. Bowen can definitely shoot it. I hope he stays at UNI.Just like Yesefu. Joe got his ring but doesn't play much. I wonder how ok with that he really is.
He had two circus threes to get it to OT and 2nd OT. He's going to be first team all Valley and shoots 40% from three. I know I'm going to take flack for this but he'd be a great shooter off the bench for us next year. Also be perfect roster wise filling in one year till Indrusaitis arrives.Someone on the Drake board mentioned rumors are starting to swill that Born might go looking for greener pastures.

Really need a starting center but another shooter is definitely our second need.
UNI has the 2nd or 3rd best recruiting class in school history coming next year along with getting Heise and Phyfe back. Even if Born would transfer (which would be a surprise with the NIL money he's getting and the player that he is at this level), UNI should be really good next year. I'll also point out UNI has had two total transfers in the last 8 years and they were both family situations more than basketball situtations.UNI has a lot of young talent if they can keep them they should have a good future. Problem is UNI don’t use the transfer portal like Iowa. So they basically become a feeder team without getting anything in return. If they keep Born, they have a shot next year.
