Code Yellow on the Upset Watch.

N. Iowa leads 33-26 with 2:59 left in the 1st.

Ali Farokhmanesh, who hit the DEEP game-winning three in the 1st round, has 11 points on 4 of 4 shooting. He's on fire.

Lots of time left, but I'm rooting for the Panthers. Brackets be damned!

 

[OHSportsFan]

Absolutely. Go Panthers!

O'REAR RULES!

Awesome chops (and playing well).

36-28 NIU. Halftime.

Amen, brutha. 36-28 Northern Iowa at the half.

Which I had been awake enough earlier to think to look on page two (duh) for this vbet. Those 11.5 points look pretty good with UNI up 36-28 at halftime.

O'REAR RULES!

Awesome chops (and playing well).

His name is O'Rear.

He has huge chops.

He's a ginger.

He's got a big 4-leaf clover tattooed on his shoulder.

Why didn't I get any of this information from the supposed "experts" when I was researching the field and filling out my bracket?

 

[NFBuck]

COME ON Northern Iowa!!!!

 

[OHSportsFan]

42-32 N. Iowa, under 16 timeout.

Code Orange?

 

[CentralMOBuck]

I think I remember someone saying in another thread that after the Lehigh game that no one would sneak up on Kansas again.

 

[Jake]

49-39, 11:03 left...oh please, oh please! :p

 

[OHSportsFan]

Just have to avoid a big run from Kansas. Unlikely, but just withstand it at least.

Up 11 with 9:38 to go.

 

[Jake]

Cheap foul on UNI as the KU player falls down.

I hope we don't see what happened to Robert Morris as Nova shot 20+ free throws in the final 4 minutes and OT to escape an upset...for two days, anyway.

52-41, 9:38 left...

 

[CentralMOBuck]

What a stupid 3. I was going to say UNI needs someone to defend Aldrich, but it looks like he just rolled his angle.

 

[OHSportsFan]

A lot of 3's flying...

of course, they hit one after the whistle :p
