'twas a GREAT win by Northern Iowa. those tough White kids managed to not allow Kansas' physical play (and the officials swallowing their whistles) down the stretch get in their heads. UNI played their game and took it to the top seed in the whole Tourney. awesome!
but it was "funny," how none of UNI's players had any affleticism ... this, despite the elder Koch brother repeatedly dunking on black heads like some sort ofprescriptionacne medication.
earlier in the day, Saint Mary's played beautiful basketball as they controlled the "very affletic" Villanova. the commentators kept talking about how the Gaels played old school basketball ... "it's almost impossible to double team their big man inside, becauseeveryone can shoot and pass and they can all hit the three ..." wow! what a unique idea. basketball players who are unselfish and can actually knock down a jump shot. no wonder they "look like aEuroleague team."
now, we're watching BYU get physically assaulted by Kansas State. it's almost like watching a prison rape on some of these no-calls. i mean, seriously. BYU players are getting shoved out of bounds and there's no foul. grabbed from behind and called for travelling. one BYU player was even called for the foul after he got elbowed in the face. *whistle!* foul on BYU's face! i mean, WTF?!?!
K-State is one of the most foul-committing teams in the country, while BYU is known for not committing many fouls ... yet, BYU isn't even in the bonus until 1:29 left in the half? meanwhile, K-State had been in the double-bonus for the last 7-8 minutes because BYU gets called for a foul if they get anywhere near a KSU player. *growls* this seems to happen so often ... which is why the UNI win was so big, in my opinion.
