Wow, what a complete and impressive, dominant game against a good team in their own gym today. I am really loving this team so far.

Best of all, I, and the rest of the country had the opportunity to watch it on ESPN2.

Huge win. Don't forget, this is the same ISU team who crushed the second place team in the conference by 15.

IMO the four hardest places to play in the Valley are WSU, SIU, Creighton, and ISU. Nice to know we have three of those out of the way and have 3 W's to boot.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

Have never seen moves from JE like that and finishing them too!!

Huge win - got IlSt thinking they just can't beat us.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

This was even more impressive than the win in Carbondale.

I kept thinking to myself watching the game early on they're going to lose in the MVC sometime, but after watching them dominate today maybe not. Jordan looks so much better than last season. Teams are having problems matching up to him.

Many teams trying to take time off the clock don't end up with very good shots. UNI doesn't have that problem.

Jordan is an animal.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

Also a question: Did LaPhanso Ellis call UNI Northern Illinois at least twice in the 1st half. That's what I thought he said.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

You guys have a D@mn solid team. I can't tell which aspect of the game is most impressive. Your help defense. Your poise and execution. The players knowing the system and excellent coaching.

If Jacobson wants to hold a coaching clinic, be sure he invites Tim Jankovich because he's only schooled him 4 times in a row.

I'm real impressed with JE. His footwork has improved tremendously, and he's a HUGE asset now that he can play more than 5 minutes at a time.

Just do me a favor, don't become douche bags like the CU, SIU or even the one hit wonder DU Bulldogs. You guys have a world class coach and a very good team. Until someone can take the title from you guys....the MVC is "PantherNation".

Good luck....of course except when you play us again. Because we're going to need ALL the luck we can get.

I thought Ellis was fine too but I thought I did hear him say that. It's also what came up on our closed captioning. If I was really curious I guess I could just replay the game. I taped it. The announcers did have a lot of really nice things to say about the team including their comment they could see them winning a couple NCAA Tournament games. They also for the most part pronounced names correctly.

+100!!

Kwad-boom!!

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

We have one heck of a defense!

According to the DMR article on the game:

As a team, Illinois State shot 37.5 percent from the field (18 of 48), finishing with the lowest scoring output in coach Tim Jankovich’s three seasons.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

Jordan played like an animal today.

Plays like that every game the rest of the season and he will get drafted.

I have been saying he is one of the top 5 big men in the country and I am not backing up off that!!! Only problem is Moran won't give him the ball enough.

Re: Next Up: ISU(red)

I didn't know Odiakosa had 21 rebounds! Is that right?
