Re: VS Iowa game Thread

I thought it was kind of funny when the band played in heaven there is no beer after the game because of their player getting suspended for that.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Just got back from the game.

1) Iowa is not a good team...we are not even close to a good team.
2) Our guards need to take lessens from KA.
3) Our big men need to take lessens from Eric Coleman.
4) Carver is like an empty cave. I think I even heard coach Jake's clap echo a couple times.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Jordan was the only panther that came to play tonite.Missed only 1 shot,led the team in rebounding with 8.nobody else with more than 3 and held Tate to 4 points. I don't know what game some of you idiots saw but our guards were badly outplayed and we were outcoached AGAIN.

I guess it just depends on your definition of good and bad. I consider Marquette to be a good team. Iowa is not even close to the same type of team Marquette is.

The comment is meant to emphasize that when we look back on this loss at the end of the season, it will not be a "good" loss, it will be a bad loss.

I don't think Iowa played a bad game, but I that doesn't make them a good team in my book.

What makes you think Iowa is good? Hopefully you don't say it's because they beat a 5-4 UNI team at home by double digits.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

i dont necessarily think iowa is good, i just dont think a team that gets beaten by 20 has the right to call the winning team "bad" or "not good". there was very little that iowa did tonight that would cause an unbiased observer to say "wow, they are not a good team"

last years iowa team...now that is a BAD team. losses to LA-monroe, utah state, etc...this years iowa team has yet to really play any awful ball save for a 10-minute stretch vs. a solid WVU team.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

mike kelley is the former wisconsin guard who did the color tonight. he is very talented, especially for someone who is probably only 4-5 years out of school. he really talked up both programs and the quality of basketball played in the state of iowa. ISU-drake followed uni-iowa on espnu.

In that case, I would say Marquette is very good, and Iowa is above average. No?

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Quick correction on Mike, he's been out of school since 2001, he was a senior the year after Wiscos final four run in 2000, the same year Soderberg took over for Bennett. But as a Wisconsin fan I appreciate the acknowledgement of Mike's analystic talents, just trying to figure out why the Big Ten Network won't hire him....that's one thing you guys gotta appreciate, is not having to listen to big ten network announcers.

As far as the game went UNI is giving Wisconsin a run for longest scoreless stretches this year, don't care who you are you let the clock run down below 10 every possesion without touching the post bad things are bound to happen.

Maybe UNI doesn't have the right to call Iowa a "bad" team...but they are. They will have trouble winning games in the Big Ten. They're NOT good.

The shooting ills of the Panthers hurt, but the guys are young.

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.

I'd love to prove you wrong with facts, but everything you just said is OPINION. You have not shown any facts to prove anything you said either.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Wow. I'm so frustrated, but I have to remind myself that no one is more frustrated than the players and coaches. They can't be happy with the way they performed tonight.

UNI needs a leader on the floor. It seems that Coach is always urging his players to play hard by clapping and trying to get them fired up. If you're an NCAA Division I student-athlete you have to do what you need to do to get yourself mentally and physically prepared for a basketball game. The coach can't do that for you. It's all up to you.

Next, I see two UNI teams out there. The team that tosses the ball around the perimeter and then shoots up a forced shot at :03 remaining on the shot clock. Then, there's the second team that attacks on the dribble and creates offense. Everytime UNI attacks the basket...something good happens. They either score, get a foul on the opponent or at the very least put themselves into good position to score.

I like watching the aggressive UNI team.

THe final thing I'll say is that it seems like when we're not hitting shots that our defense suffers and that's a huge issue. When we're not hitting, the defense needs to be even more stiff.

I think this team can be very good. They need the support of UNI fans home and away and I hope that people don't quit on this team. When things aren't going exactly how you'd like is when they need the fans the most.

I, again, agree with 2317. Every time we drove to the basket, something good happened (or we lost the ball when Iowa would reach without getting called for it).

The game got away from us last night because we got lazy on defense. We weren't as intense, and it almost seemed as if the offensive woes were getting into our heads on the defensive side (heads down, not hustling).

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.

Also, agree. Someone needs to tell Kerwin that he needs to look to shoot. Haak gives us a few minutes, but also isn't an offensive force, neither is Montgomery. Ali thinks he is, but he just hasn't found a rhythm and he is lost on defense, which hurts us as well.

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.

I agree with you on the Jack statement...however, where do you get off saying that garbage about Jordan? He holds Tate to four points, leads the team in rebounding, makes an incredible hustle save out of bounds, dives on the floor for loose balls, and posts up hard with not nearly enough passes getting in to him. His lack of offensive production is put squarely on the shoulders of the guards. If they don't get him the ball, how the hell is he supposed to score? I was out of my chair literally yelling several times as he was so open and they wouldn't give him the ball. Watch a replay of the game if you don't believe me.

...And did I fail the mention Jordan leads the conference in Field Goal Percentage, is fifth in rebounds, and only averages 1.4 turnovers a game? Sounds like slow, uncoordinated and sloppy to me
