Re: UNI @ Wyoming

... you know that there are DEFINITELY times when the refs make a difference in the game.

Then our players and coaches should know how to handle it and adjust by now. I hate that excuse. It's not like they are playing 5th grade basketball any more.

Re: UNI @ Wyoming

I for one am very encouraged by the Wyoming game. I thought wyoming would be good going into the game. Looks like they were since they won.

But it looks like for one game anyway we finally figured out how to get inside and Jordan finally figured out he needs to put the ball in the hoop when he gets it. 12 three point attempts seems reasonable. Of course we only shot 33% from the arc. (not surprising since our three point shooting sucks). But overall seems like a well played game. We will only get better if we can continue to play like this.

I have no idea if coach Jake switched up our defensive schemes during the game, probably not since he never does. Might be a good idea to try a zone or double team once in a while.

Anyway I am encouraged

FWIW, collegeRPI.com was updated this morning. This site seems to be more official than some of the others, but during this time of year it only updates once a week.

RPI - 178

SoS - 116

Our SOS is going to take a hit over the next couple of games, but hopefully our winning percentage should improve.

SDSU is 2-7 with an RPI of 321

Indiana State is 1-8 with an RPI 261.

I won't be suprised if this team "gets on a roll" at home either.

We NEED to get on a roll with these next two at home.

The following game, at Southern Illinois is more winnable this year than in any recent year. SIU is not what they have been the past few years, their big center (Evans) is out or just coming back from a wrist/arm injury and we get to play them on New Years' Eve, meaning attendance may not be what it normally is at thier place, certainly students will not be around in full force.

But, we need to take care of business these next two games to get the confidence going.
