Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

The ESPN box score says Haak, Brown and Dunham all started. Is that accurate?

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

no, the usual starters:

ali, johnny, kwadzo, koch and jordan

Anyway, I hope UNI does get plenty of touches inside. I hope they get their threes to drop early and often. And I hope that Adam Rodenberg can get off on the right foot with his Panther career.

Check, check, and check.

Good game overall by the Panthers.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

I was unable to attend the game, listened to most on the radio, was wondering how Rodenburg looked?

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

Arod looked pretty good. Should provide good depth inside, actually looked like O'Rear at times.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

Agree on Rodenberg. Looked good down low and I think his presence alone will take some pressure off of Koch and Jordan. I think he immediately changed the makeup of this team. We looked pretty good today.

Ali found a stroke and our guards attacked the basket a little better. Kwadzo is FUN to watch and so is Moran. I think he's going to be something special when all is said and done.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

Anyone know the ref that T'd up SDSU's coach? I watched those two going at it during that entire possession. While I love seeing coaches get T'd up, I thought it was actually pretty unprofessional of the ref in this case. He wasn't even watching the game. Usually when refs jaw back and forth with coaches they at least keep one eye on the court. He was screaming across the court at the coach the entire possession paying NO attention to the game. It looked like he was making it personal. But that's just from what I could see.

If the coach makes it personal, the ref will make sure he gets a T

No, I thought it looked like the REF made it personal.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

Rodenberg is thick & had some nice offensive rebounds...kind of like O'Rear, but also a little like Gruber.

Kerwin Dunham should sign a contract that makes him swear he will take 7 shots every game.

SDSU is not very good...
hopefully this gives the guys some confidence going into the Valley.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

When you throw an f-bomb at Curtis Shaw, an official who has an extremely quick trigger to begin with, you're asking for a T. Shaw was the official Larry Eustachy got into it with in the regional final game with Michigan State a few years back.

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

With Indiana State, Wichita State and Missouri State at home in three of its first five Valley games, this team has a chance to get off to a decent start. However, trips to Southern Illinois and Creighton are sandwiched in there, but Southern is really struggling right now. Carbondale is never an easy environment, but late December is the best time to play this game for UNI as opposed to February.

That's who that was? It seriously looked like the ref was shouting at him across the court at the coach the whole possession . . .

Hopefully that's 3 home wins. Time to protect the McLeod!

Re: UNI vs. SDSU Game Thread

Getting SIU at their place early is a good thing. They are very young and, like UNI, will get better as the season progresses. Contrary to what was said on the pregame show, SIU lost in Indianapolis in the Wooden Classic to St. Mary's...not at home. They are playing 11 guys 11 minutes or more. That's impressive. But, hopefully, SIU is still trying to find itself in late December. Students won't be back yet either, and with it being New Year's, hopefully it won't be as intimidating. Still it's a tough place to play. When is UNI's last win there?
