    Re: UNI vs. Evansville Game Thread

    Amazing game for UNI. Reed playing is a plus for us, but will Jake keep playing him with his 0-3 night? Whatever Jake does it is the right move.

    Nice to see Coleman fight through the foul trouble, even coming off the bench to save those fouls, and have the kind of game he did.

    Koch...wow...just wow.

      It was Awesome!!!! Definitely, lit a fire under their tails!!!
      What are recruits and their parents going to think when they see a coach acting like this and yelling at his players? Add that with the negative attitude about some struggles the team is having on a message board and it will be a struggle recruiting.

      Oh well, if that is Jake's choice to go off on players like that then that is his choice, thus making it the right one.

      Seriously though

      Good win for UNI tonight. I hope we can keep playing like this the rest of the season. If Koch decides to play like this every game we will be hard to stop as a team. It would be nice if Jordan was more aggressive but that will come with time. As long as we keep playing D like we have been we should be ok

          Adam Koch is the x-factor this season. People have been waiting for this kind of performance from him all year. If it can continue, the Panthers could sit atop the Valley because he will be too tough to account for with the other weapons we have. They can't afford anymore SDSU/Iowa hiccups, however.

            I read where EU's post starter, and his backup, fouled out. Was that due to Koch and Coleman being agressive, and/or physically overmatching EU? Bad calls?

            Speaking of post play - we got out rebounded, 38-31. That has to be a concern of Jake's going forward. We're obviously winning games, but our rebounding has to improve if we're to keep going forward this year. I'm wondering if Jake thinks Koch is athletic enough to play D at the 3 to get all three bigs on the floor at once.

              Amen. Almost halfway through the sophomore year, time to start playing like a 7 footer. Been reading this board all year (for the past three actually), and this was such an obvious point to me that I created a user name to raise this point. Please tell me somebody else cringes everytime they see him back down a defender only to settle for a 5-foot fade-away hook shot?

                If he's hitting it, I've got no problem with it. But too many times this season Jordan has looked lazy. That troubles me.

                If he were to adapt an edginess about himself, he could become a force.

                  Thats tough to do. More often than not, big guys are more like Shaun Bradley and less like Shaq (in his prime)

                    Agreed 100%. He missed 4 of those in close last night, 2 of them during that big run that E'ville went on in the 2nd half, where he could've backed down a shorter opponent who weighed less, but settled for the J. It's extremely frustrating seeing him have rebounds taken from him by guys 5-6 inches shorter than him. When he gets fired up, he is exciting to watch, but I've seen that maybe twice all season.

                      I would have no problem with Jordan picking up the occassional offensive foul for going strong to the rim. I think it should be a personal goal of his, within reason.

                        The best thing about Jordan is that he has a HUGE upside. There is a lot of opportunity for him to develop his skills and confidence. He's GOOD now. With the appropriate instruction, he could be AWESOME his Senior year. His progress will be interesting to watch.

                          It was nice to see some better shooting last night. Also, I didn't see the extended period of no baskets as we've experienced in the past. That helped a great deal. I hope this effort becomes our benchmark. Loved seeing coach jump on the players after the Aces' run. A little hot temper helped woke them up and forced them out of their slumber to get back to playing aggressive.

                            The refs were calling anything and everything last night. Both teams were in the double bonus with over 3 min left in the game. Because UNI has a deep bench, we were able to keep our players out of foul trouble, Evansville didn't have the same luxury.

                              Holsinger is still a stud - he wasn't on track last night...but he could be the next time we see Evansville. We need to find a way to stop their OB under play that runs him off of about 123 illegal screens to get him the off-balance 7 ft. leaner.
                              I'm glad that someone else picked up on this. It's like the officials didn't even know what an illegal screen was.

                                Is that #41?

                                It was horrible last night. I noticed his name was not "American" sounding. Maybe his coach needs to explain to him what a moving screen is?
