VS Iowa game Thread

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Agressive lineup / players: Kwadzo, Moran, Koch, Montgomery, Lucas (at times), Brown

Passive lineup / players: Ali, Kerwin, Haak

Eggs is neither...he is just big and should play as much as he deserves.

Point? There should be two agressive guards in to every one passive player at all times. Too much tonight we had Ali, Kerwin / Haak in the game at the same time. Killed us. I would actually start to limit Ali and Haak and rotate the others. They are like a buzz kill too often.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

I am sorry, have I mentioned that this team will be playing on Thursday night at Arch Madness, Coach Jake will be polishing his resume at the end of the year, and that this is the biggest demise of a program in UNI athletics history?

Again, you don't think so, prove me wrong, with FACTS!

P.S. Jordan Egleseder (sp?) is a waste of a scholarship, maybe try professional wrestling.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Did I just hear the TV announcer say in the 2nd half - 1 kid from the other team outscored our whole team??

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Jordan will never be the player many of you think he is. Slow, uncoordinated, and sloppy with the ball. That is the truth.

Jake continues to show everyone he is not a D-1 coach.

That is quite a commentary on the Valley. The demise of a once up and coming Mid Major conference? Too many coaches departing? Bad recruiting? Rest of the country just that much better? Who knows...I think we will be .500 at best in conference...and hopefully 16 - 18 wins.

How do you make people appreciate an 18 win season? Win 15 the next year. Very frustrated. Will go to my happy place now.

UNI will have to give away tickets.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

What has happened to Ali's shooting since last year? I know this is D1 ball, but he is squared up and not rushed. % is horrible.

And another thing - Carver Hawkeye was embarrassingly empty. Iowa students?? I had to laugh when Bobby Hansen said the crowd got in to it during one of there runs on their post game show. The sides were maybe 3/4 full, with very few in the baseline seats. I would say about 7-8,000 actual seats filled.

What a blown opportunity. If we can't beat this Hawk team in IC, when will we ever do it again???

Didn't work too well for Iowa tonight, who let students in free.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

its hard to believe that iowa sold out every single ticket the entire season only 6 years ago.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Just got back from the game... what a bad performance. I agree with Tommy T, the same 4 guards out NOT moving, one post player going back and forth was not working. No offense to Josten, but this looked like last years team the last 2 games, running no kind of good sets to get one. Iowa could do it, a pass or two, a good screen,and an OPEN jumper. We had forced long balls like ISU game. That offense or offensive play is just not effective. Why do the guards stand there. Kwadzo is the only one penetraitng with a driblle penetration, stop on a dime pull up jumper. Yes, he got out of control a few times..occasionally Moran has done it, but all other guards are glued to one spot on the floor next to the 3 point line.
Why do you stand at the high post elbow 10 times in row to run that screen that you can see coming a mile away..
that felt good to rant.. my season ticket purchasing days are over

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

They should tell Ali that he cannot shoot another 3 pt shot until he dribble drives and shoots a short jumper. If he can't do that, sit him down. Kerwin is another inigma. I keep looking for something from him but I just don't see it. Not even great defense out of him. At this point, I'd take Travis Brown.

BTW - I now see why Jake was thinking about not redshirting James. We need someone who can go to the basket.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Just got back from the game. Wow we suck.

That being said our 17 person student section held our own with theirs, and I think we entertained the people around us. Moral victory.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

who had more students, UNI or Iowa?

Iowa did a nice job of evening the season arrest record at 1-1 this week

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

They had substantially more.
