Re: Up Next: Wichita State

As mentioned in an earlier post, I hope we see a tired WSU team coming in and are able to run them off the floor in the 2nd half. Hate to do it, but will be rooting for the ugly dogs of Carbondale this evening.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I am tired of losing to these no class punks. It is time to show them how to play the game. Last time they had no answer for our Big Man. Egelseder better get 20 shots this time. Are you listening Ali?

Let's see......Ali is shooting 39% from beyond the arc and has 42 makes in 108 attempts. Jordan has 109/191 makes/attempts inside the arc. If Ali takes twice as many shots this year he makes 84 3's which is 202 points. Jordan makes 218 points inside the arc. Pretty much the same output. Granted it's not an exact comparison but you see my point.

I'm not advocating that Ali suddenly start shooting once he enters the gym but Ali hitting a high percentage of 3's opens up the lane for the bigs and makes their game more effective. I'll take Jordan down low or Ali open beyond the arc at any point in any game. Ali has too many HUGE 3's at the end of the game in his 1 1/2 years playing for UNI to tell him not to shoot.

I hope that Ali is NOT listening.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I've been a UNI BB fan for over 30 years. I've moved to Florida (Fall '08) and was back in Iowa last Feb. (09) for four games. I have seen the Panthers on TV six times this season, and I'm glad for that. Now, I head to Iowa on Wednesday (sorry absolutely cannot get out of town in time to see the Wichita game Wed. night.) But ... I'll be in the Cedar Valley long enough to see four games at the McLeod.

My point is ...

I envy everyone who has a chance to see the Wichita game on Wed. Wish I'd be there.

If the McLeod isn't packed to the rafters for this game ... it's sad, sad.

See ya Sat. for S. Ill.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I think we will set an attendance record on Wednesday Night. In doing some checking, I couldn't get two seatbacks together anywhere.

Here's hoping for an announced crowd of over 7,000.

I really think and hope we could do that twice this week.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Tough win for WSU tonight.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Even though UNI has a 2 game lead this might be a must win. Looking at WSU's schedule they have a good chance of winning out after the UNI game. They only have road games against Evansville and Bradley with the rest of their games at home.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Biggest game in the history of the McLeod Center? I think so.

Win and we cushion ourselves in the Valley. Lose and our margin for error is gone. Its even bigger when you consider that if we lose we would lose a tiebreaker to WSU and their schedule after playing us is- InSU, @UE, MSU, UE, @Bradley, SIU.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

HUGE game. We gotta win this one. If we lose, we will have to win out to win the title, and with our schedule compared to their schedule, that is not likely.

A loss means we are on pin and needles the rest of the season, and a win is a potential death blow to the rest of the MVC.

Crowd really needs to show up and be a big factor in this one.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Time to show people we are the class of the Valley and it isn't close.

I want the magical run. I want 30 wins. I want the season we have been dreaming of since we were sitting in the Dome watching bad basketball teams get pounded by the upper part of the Valley. I want to return the favor.

After two days of listening to SMS fans ***** and moan about us, I want to kick the crap out of the rest of the Valley and leave no doubt. No excuses, no prisoners. Lets see what we can do about not losing until deep into March.
