Evansville @ UNI

[Newt99]

Guess I'll see if I can get a streak going here. Obviously it is a huge game tomorrow, #1 seed and conference championship on the line. If we can't get a big crowd for this one, I'll be very disappointed.

Last time out, we beat these guys 58-47 on their court. Nearly a month and a half ago, it was our fifth straight win. No one had a huge offensive night for the Panthers, but the defense was great, holding Evansville under 33% shooting for the game. Their senior leader Shy Ely, currently leading the MVC at 18 ppg, was shut down to the tune of 7 points on 2-15 shooting.

Let's go do it again on Saturday and get ourselves a trophy!

I'm hearing there should be a real good size crowd tomorrow night

Re: Evansville @ UNI

Defense will be the key tomorrow again. Got to contain Shy. They will be coming in with the intention of playing spoiler, and their seniors would love nothing more than dumping on our night....on TV.

If we play suffocating D, we can win this. It is a must to play a full 40 minutes and not play the ultra-conservative game. Much like on Tuesday-they'll need to attack early and often to set the tone. If we play pass around the perimeter early on-you'll know the guys are tight.

I just checked UNITIX and the "Best Available" for 2 seats is section 105, row Q. Hopefully that is a good sign.

What time was that?

Depends on where others are taking seats though. There are some who think that is the best, there are some that like the north bleachers, the GA, or a different section. Regardless, if tickets get used I think there should be very good sized crowd there.

I hope for a good crowd Saturday night, as I won't be able to be there. Really disappointed but I couldn't get anyone to switch with me at work. I will definitely be cheering hard for these guys on such a special night as I know more than a few of them and also what they went through last year. To have a year like this is something else and I'm a little upset I won't be there to see it. Oh well I guess. Give them everything you've got and they'll return the favor...

I'll be listening as always. Let's finish this season out right and head into the tourney with some momentum and a conference title!

Re: Evansville @ UNI

I've asked the Cap'n and D1B to be in attendance. No word yet.

Re: Evansville @ UNI

I think we win this game if we play solid defense and piss pound the ball inside to Adam and Jordan who have both been playing great.Also,we only shoot the 3 when we get good looks and hopefully our guards step it up. GO PANTHERS.

Re: Evansville @ UNI

I just hope their 3 point shooters don't have an unconscious day or I'll go nuts!! Keep Holzinger (sp?) in check and control the game.

Re: Evansville @ UNI

The Redbirds couldn't do us any favors so I guess we just have to win it tonight. I'd rather have the title outright but I'll take co-champs anyday.

Time to head to Cedar Falls for the game. Be back tonight to celebrate our title!

Re: Evansville @ UNI

I just want to see a net-cutting celebration tonight, I know they have one planned if we win but the panthers have to take care of business first on Travis Brown night (senior night)!
