Re: Shox v Cats

The kid is a freshman and he's beginning to play like one.

Beginning to play like one??? I would say with the exception of three big shots the whole year, he has been playing like one. Will he be a good player in the future for UNI? Maybe, but right now, he is not our best option off the bench at any position.

At the time Dunham was brought in, he was the best ball-handling option we had. He was attempting to fill the role of Coleman in the press break, but he is obviously less experienced at that than the senior and it showed at times. Who else would you have suggested be brought in? Reed or Montgomery and their great ball-handling skills? Haak, so that he would have to guard a 6-7 player on the blocks as well as be unable to see over the same player guarding the inbounds pass? O'Rear? I like him, but ball-handling is not his forte right now. Eglseder was unavailable, which would then leave the walk-on options of Green, Molstead or Lundberg. I ask again, who would go in if not Dunham?

And Dunham has the third best A-TO ratio on the team (3:2 versus Haak and Viet ~2:1) and is also third on the team in Free Throw percentage as the game was coming down to a situation where fouling/free throw shooting was possibly going to make a difference. (Thank God we pulled it out, since 3 roughly 80% shooters missed a combined 4 free throws in the last minutes.)

Re: Shox v Cats

Wow. That's all I can say. I'll bet you'd rather see Kerwin out there, specifically because of defense, right?

Duh. Someone else said on here that without Koch, we probably wouldn't have won this game. I'm going to say that without Viet, I know for a FACT we wouldn't have won this game.

Kerwin is pathetic on the court right now. He's scared to death. TWICE last night WSU had easy baskets because he had NO CLUE where he should've been on help-side. He looked like a boy among men last night. It was absolutely ridiculous that Carlton sat on the bench while Kerwin was out there. The kid is a freshman and he's beginning to play like one.

Had 5 TO - one very costly one in the final 45 seconds of the game

I just want to see the most athletic lineup we can put on the floor.
He's a liability. Viet hustles his butt off play after play after play. Is he the most athletic player on the court, heavens no. Is he our biggest liability? If you think so, I've got to question your basketball knowledge.

Dunham is worse then Viet and where did I stick up for Dunham on my post? I am glad you read the entire post before attacking someone for things they do not say.

I agree it is ridiculous Reed was on the bench. It was his best game of the season thus far and Viet is out there struggling and still continues to play. He makes ONE good shot and ONE good defensive play and he is the savior?

I want you to tell me how Viet won this game for us.

The game is entire 40 minutes not 30 seconds.

Re: Shox v Cats

The news said he (reed) didnt return cuz of his nose after suffering a bloody nose.

Somehow, I'm guessing this was a bad coaching move.

Pure hypocrisy. You lambasted a group of people for ripping on Viet early in the season. Now you have free reign to dump the slop bucket on Kerwin?

Re: Shox v Cats

Let's work on our press break, defending the dribble-drive and the 3-point shot, boxing out and ATTACKING on offense and get a "W" on Saturday!!!

I thought my press break was pretty good last night.....

Damn straight I do! Big ole' difference there UNIPNTHR considering Kerwin was the one getting all the playing time while Viet was riding the pine.

People were complaining about Viet and blaming him for losses when the guy was hardly playing. They had no ground to stand on. Kerwin gets PLENTY of minutes and does nada with them.

Re: Shox v Cats

At this point of the season I would take Reed's game over Dunham's game every time. Dunham was lost after he passed the ball into the corner every time. I did not see any ball handling skills from any one on the panthers when they put on the press. I'm sure Dunham will become a good player for UNI but right now he should not be on the court on crunch time when our best scoring option has fouled out.

Re: Shox v Cats

I like Dunham and think he'll become comfortable enough to be a good player for us. But as for right now, at this point in time, I'm really scratching my head at why he's eating up the number of minutes he is. I know, I know, people talk about defense and I see that he plays decent defense, but he doesn't play good enough defense to overlook his timidness at this point in time. Heck, I'd rather let Montgomery get out there and play. They're both technically freshmen, get them both some limited experience.

Reed is healthy and ready to go and there is no reason he needs to be sitting on the bench as much as he is any longer. It's go time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Shox v Cats

Reed, Dunham and Brown next year is a nice 3-guard line-up with Eglseder and Koch. Mix it up with Ali, John Montgomery and Moran or KA and I think we're versatile at the guard spot next season. It's a guard dominated league and I think we're learning now and have a chance to be even better next season.

Who is handling the ball and triggering the offense in that scenario?

Re: Shox v Cats

Reed is a liablity when it comes to ball handling - Dunham needed to be in there last night and I thought did a nice job. I don't remember him losing the game for us. I actually thought Coach Jake did a nice job of getting the right players in the game at the right times.

Anyone see the ref get blasted last night - I was looking somewhere else and all of a sudden he was down - someone said he a the WSU coach collided????
