UNI Vs. UNC-Pembroke yesterday

[strike00]

Thoughts from people who were there?

The first half was ugly. I felt much better after the first 8 or so minutes of the second half.

The defense and hustle was great all game long. The offense was just bad in the first half, but picked up in the second half. But we really need to work on getting some flow into our offense at times.

Sonnen needs to work on ball handling.

Jordan still only wanted to use his left hand.

Ali is still a great shooter.

Anthony James, who is 6 ft tall (if that), had a sweet dunk.

O'Rear looked a little out of shape yet IMO.

Nice reception for Eldon Miller and the 1990 team.

The refs wouldn't let the game get any rhythm going.

This.


Otherwise, I thought Jordan looked very good yesterday. Rody was much better than last week.

Yeah, the refs were a little ridiculous. There had to be 10 or 12 off-ball foul calls that were just plain dumb.

Heard that SIU beat a DII team at home at the buzzer this weekend.

Also, according to this: http://www.omaha.com/article/2009110...JAYS/711089826, the bluejays could be losing a key player.

Re: UNI Vs. UNC-Pembroke yesterday

that was terrible of Jordan still using his left hand seeing how he is left handed and only making 7 of 8 shots.What the hell was he thinking missing that 1 shot

What is a"jacked three"? I can only think of one ill-advised three that was taken in the game. When Ali makes threes at a better clip than many of our posts can make a bunny with a little contact - I'll take my chances.

Did you notice Creighton's schedule on the left hand side of the article? Dayton, Nebraska, Michigan, George Mason, New Mexico. Dayton is tough, and the others play in conferences tough enough to help the MVC's schedule strength and overall RPI. RPI isn't the bible, but it doesn't hurt either. Not sure who the other teams play, but UNI and CU are helping the conference this year by playing some good competition.

Nov 14 - at Dayton, 12:00 PM CTNov 17 - vs. Florida A&M, 7:05 PM CTNov 22 - vs. Ark-Little Rock, 2:05 PM CTNov 26 - at Michigan, 11:00 AM CTDec 6 - vs. Nebraska, 4:00 PM CTDec 12 - at George Mason, 12:00 PM CTDec 16 - vs. Savannah State, 7:05 PM CTDec 19 - at New Mexico, 8:05 PM CTDec 22 - vs. Houston Baptist, 7:05 PM

Re: UNI Vs. UNC-Pembroke yesterday

Yeah, I'd say both UNI and CU scheduled up this year. We will definitely both have chances to prove ourselves against good teams. Gotta take advantage of that.

Re: UNI Vs. UNC-Pembroke yesterday

I went through some of the schedules of the other MVC teams and it looks as though most have scheduled some tougher games. I count about 15 games against BCS teams and there could be more depending on how teams do in the early season tournaments.

There is also the MWC/MVC challenge (the first game is Friday with Bradley at BYU). These games will be important especially since ESPN ranks the MWC #7 and the MVC #10 right now.

You add in some of the good retrun BB games plus the good BB games later in the year along with some other good games throughout the year (Evansville plays Butler as one example) and there looks to be 40+ games against either BCS teams or other teams that will be top 100 in RPI.

The league will have a chance to prove themselves this year and by winning a good portion of those games can get multiple teams in the NCAA this year.
