NCAA: Northern Iowa over Kansas, 69-67
ncaa, northern iowa, kansas, bracket, college basketball
There on the television set early Saturday evening, with so much basketball having been played over the last three days and nights and more to be played in the NCAA Tournament, was the tournament we still want this to be. There was the ball in the hands of a Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmanesh and a one-point lead over Kansas, the No. 1 team in the tournament and one of the most famous teams ever. And now seeding didn’t matter and neither did pedigree in college basketball, and it didn’t matter that the big schools are supposed to own the tournament now.
The only thing that mattered was that Farokhmanesh, having the week of his life, was wide open again in March, in the tournament we want.
On Thursday, Farokhmanesh was supposed to be one of those one-shot wonders, the kind we always get in the first or second round of March Madness. Murray State had beaten Vanderbilt on this day and now Northern Iowa had a shot to beat Vegas. It wasn’t a huge upset and really wasn’t supposed to matter, because the winner of Northern Iowa-UNLV was going to get Kansas Saturday in Oklahoma City. Didn’t matter to Northern Iowa. Farokhmanesh made a 3-pointer, and his team, out of Cedar Falls, Iowa, had made it to Saturday.
Ali Farokhmanesh was hot, even if only his own fans, and all those who had the Northern Iowa Panthers in their bracket, really noticed or cared. We get a lot of guys like this the first two days. We got a lot this year, as good and exciting a start as we have had to March Madness in a while.
