I'm sorry that we didn't have the game on. I was asked by our Marketing Dept. earlier today to post something about the game which I did...

I'm moving to Texas next month - so I won't be posting these notices anymore.

Once again - sorry guys.

Thanks for the updates and info that you've provided over the past few months. It was much appreciated, even if some things didn't quite work out.

Best of luck in Texas.

Enjoy the ride people. We are starting 2 freshman and 2 sophomores.

Jordan needs to keep getting stronger. He could have had 30 tonight. If he dunks the goaltending layup there is no no-call. Coleman needs to show him how to grab a rebound.

We need help from Reed.

Coleman needs to play like he did at the end of regulation and overtime all of the time.

UMKC is much improved.

I was at the game tonight. I don't think UNI played their best game by any means. However, the young guys played alot of minutes. UMKC couldn't score inside, if they didn't nail some tough treys, it wouldn't have even been close. They only scored 20 first half points, mostly from three. The refs were terrible. They missed two or three basket interference calls and lots of "air fouls". The last foul on Brown was bougus, he never touched the guy, he was in good defensive position.

All in all, it was a road win and one they can look at and use to improve. Way too early to start throwing the coach under the bus. BEAT NEVADA!

We are oh so young. I wonder if Reed will play Saturday. Maybe if they can "work him in".

UMKC also played respectably against Kansas this season. Arizona as well.

They beat Witchita State. I don't care what they're records say, I'll take it.

But UNI has some stuff to figure out and they better do it SOON. Nevada is the end of the non-conference road. We could enter conference play with an 8-2 record. Not bad, especially considering we haven't really seen this team play "good" yet.

We better get our act together for the Valley, because road wins are going to be hard to come by in our conference this season I'm afraid.

How many minutes did Coleman play tonight? Once conference play starts, he needs to be on the floor as much as possible.

Re: CFU will air the UMKC and Nevada away games on Channel 17

What the **** is going on here!

WE ARE 8-2. THAT'S 8 WINS and 2 LOSSES.
THE ONLY GAMES WE HAVE LOST ARE THE GAMES IN WHICH WE HAVE NOT SCORED 60.
WE ARE IN THE TOP 20 TEAMS IN THE NATION IN SCORING AND FIELD GOAL DEFENSE.

WE ARE ALSO EXTREMELY YOUNG WITH TWO SOPHOMORES AND TWO FRESHMAN STARTING AND THE ONE SENIOR STARTER PLAYING A NEW POSITION.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME UP GAMES AND DOWN GAMES, GET USED TO IT.

DID I MENTION WE ARE 8 AND 2?

WE ARE DOING THE THINGS THAT WILL WIN GAMES RIGHT NOW-PLAYING DEFENSE AND CONTROLLING TURNOVERS (THIS WAS THE FIRST GAME IN 4 OR 5 THAT WE HAD MORE THAN 10).

YES, IF WE SHOOT BETTER FROM 3 WE ARE PROBABLY 10-0. BUT DID ANYONE HONESTLY EXPECT THAT FROM THIS TEAM?

PLEASE, BLAME THE COACH. BLAME THE PLAYERS WHO ARE OUT THERE AND OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO LOSE BALL GAMES I GUESS.

8-2, WITH A HOME GAME TO GET TO 9 WINS BEFORE CONFERENCE PLAY FOR THE 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR. NOT BAD.

end of rant.

Late in the game Coleman had the ball on the right block and I was sure he would get his guy on his right shoulder and go left like he always does. He got his defender on his left shoulder, spun right and had a wide open layup. If this starts to happen once in awhile he will be really hard to guard!

Re: CFU will air the UMKC and Nevada away games on Channel 17

Khan, I agree with you, but aren't we technically 7-2? Does Wartburg count?

[jman2004]

Re: CFU will air the UMKC and Nevada away games on Channel 17

Still, a good record either way, I agree. Frustrating when those two losses could've easily been wins, but I guess you can't win 'em all.

I haven't seen any of the games although Gary always sound great on KXEL. How does Dunham look running the point?

You think back after Matt Culliver was recruited, and along with KA, it seemed like PG would be a strength this season.

Its sad that UMKC has almost zero support in bball.

Anyway, those of you at the game, did you see the Chiefs Larry Johnson sitting court side (opposite of UNI's bench, other end of court) with his girl.

Was with Julissa Bermudez, TV personality for BET. She's not ugly.

Anyway, apparently he has season tickets to UMKC. Why, who knows. He must REALLY like bball.

I don't think people are being that negative about the team, it's just that based on the last 4 years, the expectations were that this team had a chance to get an at-large NCAA bid or NIT bid. We have basically no chance of this happening. The 7-2 record means little, because we've played one of the weakest schedules in D-1.

The injuries to KA and Reed are just bad luck that we haven't had the past 4 years...

I do think that this is a young team and it's great to see all the young guys getting minutes. I also think this team could get better as the year goes on and certainly has the potental to be a great team in the next few years, I just don't think miracles will happen this year, like starting to make way more 3's...

I wouldn't go that far. I think this team really does have a lot of potential and THIS is the reason for frustration. Are they 7/8 - 2? Yes. But, that game could have easily gone the other way last night and there wasn't a reason for it. I'm not calling for Jake's head at all...just think there is room for drastic improvement this year. Hopefully we are saving the best for the MVC. But, as we all know it is not a faucet and you can't just turn it on and off.

I agree that we have lots of potential, but how good can we be without a point guard?
