Sorry to make the prognosticators wrong, UNI holds off SMU 61-58 in the Battle 4 Atlantis, never trailed in the 2nd half but withstood a couple of runs. Will take on NC State tomorrow afternoon (2 central time).
Haldeman with 15 pts Koch with 12 and 8 boards Pickford with 11 and 9 boards Carlson with 7 and 8 boards McCloud with 10
Excellent day/night across the Valley as it's 5-1 (2-1 vs. D1). Oooh so close on that Aces game, but a good Bears win, and a BIG shout out to UNI for taking down SMU....never liked Jankovich. Looking forward to the Panthers taming the Wolfpack.
Hope it's a great Turkey Day for all the MVC fans and families
A mini-disaster for UNI, they lose access to a signature win chance. NC State beats Arizona.
All the pressure in the world tomorrow - lose to NCSU and you're quite likely facing Tennessee, and facing the prospect of missing out on the top 3 teams in the Atlantis field.

Another championship game lost on a high bounce 3 going in at the buzzer
Actually the first shot was 2 feet short and the winning shot off a great saved ball rebound was a perfect swish. No where near depressing as that loss 2 years ago.
