In summary, UNI was an 11.5-point underdog Saturday - by far the biggest of the day

UNI became the first MVC champion to reach the Sweet 16 since Larry Bird's Indiana State squad did so in 1979.

That is correct.

But, in 1981 the Wichita State Shockers went to the NCAA tournament and made it to the Elite Eight. They also beat Kansas in the tournament that year.

In 2006 they went to the tournament again and made the Sweet 16.

Unfortunately the Missouri Valley champion title refers to whoever wins their conference tournament at the end of the year. So the regular season champion recieves no recognition.

I heard the kid had missed his previous six 3-pointers. Thin line between ballsy and stupid.

I don't know about that, but he went 4-10 for the game and 76-201 (.378) for the season.
