UNI vs. Ind. St., MVC quarterfinal

[Newt99]

I'll try to keep the streak going and get this thread started. It looked like ISU was gonna coast against Drake, but the Bulldogs made a good comeback. Hopefully it took some energy out of the Sycamores by making them keep the starters in to the bitter end.

They beat us in the first conference game, and the second meeting was a close win, but I just don't see the Trees hanging with us this time. If we pound it inside I see this going pretty much the same way as the Evansville game. My only concern is the players not being used to a noon start, but that should be much harder on ISU than on the Panthers.

Go get 'em Cats!

Indiana State playing on about 16 hours of rest. So obiously the advantage goes to us there. Hopefully Drake's run took some wind out of them for tomorrow.

If we get Jordan and Adam about 20 shots combined we will win this one big. If we don't try to get it inside it will come down to the end. And with the was ISU has been playing (won 7 out of 8 now) and they way they shoot 3's on occasion let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

I thought I heard on the post game that ISU only played 7 guys?

At the arena now...bring a lot of money. $9 bucks for glass of beer?

Re: UNI vs. Ind. St., MVC quarterfinal

Indiana State played 7 guys and the five starters all went at least 30 minutes. The two subs only played 12 and 14 minutes. InSU shot 6 of 12 from the 3 point line in the first half, but only 1 for 7 in the 2nd half. Get the ball, push it in transition, get the ball down low.

Look for InSU to zone the crap out of UNI...let's hope the shots are falling for UNI tomorrow!

Same formula as last weekend against evans. Solid defense, get the ball into Jordan and Koch and about 10-15 3pt attempts. Do this and we advance to sat.GO PANTHERS.

ATTACK THE ZONE
ATTACK THE ZONE
ATTACK THE ZONE

Don't be passive. Make them pay for getting in that zone. The middle is soft on either the pass or the drive.

Amen to that!!! During the Tenn/South Carolina game on ESPN Thursday night Bob Knight talked about that exactly - attack the zone with dribble penetration, Tenn did very effectively to beat SC.

I think the Panthers will be ready!

Re: UNI vs. Ind. St., MVC quarterfinal

Yeah we are going to need to attack the zone and make them pay! You will see In st go to a zone, after playing last night, their guys will not be able to play man to man. They will zone against us and force us to hit from the outside!

I think Ali and KA will have to have huge games handling the ball. They are going to have to rotate the ball around and when they reverse the ball, attack the zone and look to dish off!

I look for the panthers to struggle to start, but pull it out in the end

UNI 65
In St 54

How is everyone's nerves holding up?...First time of the season we can say "must win" and actually mean it.

Especially these days where the few zones you see are pretty aggressive and spread out. Personally, I haven't seen a classic, packed-in 2-3 zone all season.

Surprised that IN ST is playing man

Also sounds as if that is a large UNI crowd
