Old Dominion White Out

Re: Old Dominion White Out

Test your Iowa education. Here’s a 5th grade geography question. Do you know where we got the name Old Dominion from? Every 5th grader knows the answer to that one.

Is this the only thread for what should prove to be a great game?

Re: Old Dominion White Out

A thread about a white out that serves as the pre-lim white out for our annual white out against our conference rival VCU. We love white outs - we do them every year. It will be like home.

BTW - Iowa pork is great but it's vastly different than a classic Virginia ham.

Re: Old Dominion White Out

As monarch stated, you need to bust out a history book and/or a dictionary to see where the terms Old Dominion and Monarchs come from. Here's a hint - Iowa wouldn't be here without the Old Dominion.

I find New Dominion is much nicer and cleaner...a definite upgrade.

I like how they keep bringing their 'Size'. They don't have size, they have height and, probably, length.

We have size. They have 2 players over 220 pounds. We have 4 at 240+ not counting Pehl or Jordan. If this game gets physical-we hold the advantage, depending on how CAA officials call it.

We have dealt with length all year. Boston College, Wyoming, Iowa State, Iowa, Missouri State, Wichita State, Creighton-all have or had more height and length than we usually put on the floor. This will be nothing different.

Bring on the butterflies!!

I have a feeling you haven't seen offensive rebounding from guards like we have. Our 2 man gets a lot of rebounds. We get a lot of second chance points. Size, height, length...whatever you want to call it. We are one of the best rebounding teams in the country. You may be able to get rebounds over our length bc you have a little length as well, but you have to box out 6'5'' Kent Bazemore and 6'5'' Ben Finney. And I don't think you will be successful enough at that to win this game.

Great, so not only will you be smaller, you'll also be slower. I love it.

And length is certainly something we have in spades. Our 6"5 point guard Kent Bazemore has a 7 foot wing span, can knock down the jumper and slashes to the hoop. He is extremely atheltic, can block shots, throw down monster dunks and is near the leaguer leader in steals with those long arms. He can really shut down smaller guards defensively.

Our SG is 6"5 Ben Finney, a rugged do everything kinda guy who was offered a scholarship to play football at Virginia Tech. He was a WR who once had 300 recieving yards in a high school game in the rugged Hampton Roads area.
He is all heart, hustle and toughness. He can also knock down the three if left open. If there is a scrap for the ball, Finney is coming up with it.

Our SF is our 6"10 Pre-season CAA POTY Gerald Lee, who is shooting 63% from the 3 point line on the season (5-8) and can finish with either hand as well as knock down the j. He is shooting 53% from the field on the season.

Our PF and C are also long and athletic, with the 6"8 Keyon Carter shooting 32% from the 3 point line (18-57) which is down from his 39% (22-57) last year. Frank Hassell is our leading rebounder, a 6"8 C (who also has a 7 foot wingspan) who had 18 and 15 the last time he played a Missouri Valley team. And is coming off back to back double doubles.

The bench goes up to 5 players deep and they can all contribute. Right now there are 9 guys getting over 9 and a half minutes per game. The main guys to watch off the bench our Darius James a pg who can knock down the open 3, Trian Iliadis, a sharp shooter from Australia who was 3-4 from deep against Georgetown and has been heating up lately. He is shooting 50% from behind the arc in our last 5 games. He also is a scrappy defender. Marsharee Neely also gives us good minutes off the bench as a backup, he can hit some 3's and provide a spark and can occasionally "go off", like when he dropped 20 on Missouri.

Really looking forward to what should be a great game.

Holy crap, we better not even play the game. Just give the Fightin' Butterflys the W right now. They are clearly way too good for this top 25 UNI team. It will be like Kansas playing a Division 2 school really.

Re: Old Dominion White Out

I love how fan bases (both sides) puff their teams to each other and then take equal offense to the other's puffery...like it makes any difference at all to the outcome. Here's to a good game that I obviously hope UNI wins.

Re: Old Dominion White Out

Well, now that I heard that one of their players ran for 300 yards in a HS football game, I don't know if I like our chances anymore.

What puffery have I put out there?


I heard that they list their players 4 inches shorter than the really are, just to make the other team feel better about themselves.
