Re: Up Next: Bradley
Where does 2004 come from? This is the worst team UNI has put on the floor since at least pre Eldon Miller days. They still have a chance for a better record than a couple of Sam Weaver teams, but they play worse than any team I've ever seen. They have had 15-20 point deficits in the first half of every conference game and most of the non-conference. They are the worst team in the MVC by a long shot.
The very strong defense which up until this year could always keep us in any game no matter how bad we were offensively is gone. We are terrible on defense. On offense we are worse than ever, no one knows how to shoot the ball through the hoop, which should be a requirement for a DI college bb scholarship.
I know fully well they are not as bad skill wise as they have played. Their problems are 90% mental. Jake needs to start recruiting some kids with mental toughness, none of these players have it.
But I remain optimistic that they will win another game sometime this year. Probably not this next game, which will really set this board off, losing at home to Drake. I've seen nothing thus far that leads me to believe we can win against Drake, which is a much better team at this point.
No someday the players will remember how to shoot, how to play defense, and the stars will align just right and we will win a game, but it could be another 3-4 weeks.
Historically bad by any measure.
