Over 186K views on YouTube in less than 24 hours. What a world we live in........

My girlfriend's friend is the one who posted it to youtube (I guess she said he's one of the managers of the basketball team, not sure how high up but there it is haha) she said he seemed rather excited when he told everyone about it in a group text.

NIU had 5 players who played 26+ minutes yesterday:
Orris
Armstead
Armstead
Baker
Johnson

Not a single big in that group. Have they been playing smallball lately?

Monty has found a lineup he likes and has used it a lot more. Less rotating guys, I've noticed. The injuries might have something to do with it. But with the offensive progression, I like to think it's that he has finally found something that works.

It's mainly injury to Bowie and Threloff in foul trouble. Those two will play over 25 minutes if they can.

I wonder if we may have seen Bowie's role for the rest of the year. Plugging him in 6-10 mins a game and just hope that you get some quality minutes. That might be all he is capable to do right now with his shoulder. Even if he is as efficient as he was Saturday, that would be a great boost though.

Yes, if Bowie and Rakocevic can give you minutes it's a plus.

This was on my Google news feed for national story.

I love every minute of this. The football team has had its share of publicity over the years. About time for the basketball team to get just a little taste.

Give em a taste to get the craving for more, i agree =)

FWIW
The dunk was on ESPN, CBS Sports, NBC Nightly news, GMA, Yahoo, and a bunch more.

My wife said she saw the dunk on Good Morning America this morning.

Rakocevic will soon become a household word.
