Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

How about that crazy occurance where the ball just stopped and sat there balanced on the back of the rim? I don't recall ever seeing that happen before (but then, I don't watch ALL that much bball).

And also, what exactly was that "delay of game" call?
Was that a foul? A violation? A warning?
I thought he called it on O'Rear after a made ODU basket, yet UNI still got the ball.
I'm not familiar with that particular rule.

you ask, and you shall receive. Screenshot from the game on ESPN2

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

One thing you could tell on TV was how loud the McLeod Center was. It was funny when ESPN showed Adam Koch's dad shaking his head at the end when Adam fouled out. Yes, he was right. It was a bad call. Lot of those in the game. Has anyone ever seen Coach Jacobson that angry at a game before?

I only watched the 2nd half live, I TVod the game but haven't replayed yet, but you could see against a quick athletic team the value of Kwadzo, and the the difference maker he can be in the NCAA Tounament when UNI is likely to face an ODU type team from an athletic and quickness standpoint.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

it only took almost 3 hours to get from the north side of Des Moines to the McLeod Center but holy sh-t it was worth it! The crowd was amazing. The student section hasn't showed up like that since maybe a few games in the UNI Dome in the Mac's Maniacs days. The refs were fantastic in the first half and equally horrible in the second. I wish we got Ali for another year.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

btw, what was going on between ODU's coach and Jake? It looked, for a second, like Jake was about ready to walk over to him and smack his porn-stache right off of his face.

I have never seen Jake so animated.I think he was going to take the Hedgehog out back and beat him with some wood.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

Amazing crowd tonight. Jake said on the postgame that it was the loudest he has ever heard in there.

I really love how our offense has flourished since Jordan got suspended. 70 points in back to back games. If we score 70 points, we are almost unbeatable IMO.

Allllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Farokhmanesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great minutes out of Adam Rodenberg in these last two games. I think its just fantastic that he gets to get out there in senior season and make the most of his minutes. He has worked really hard and it has paid off here at the end of the season. Well done Rody.

Once again, supposedly superior athletes of opposing teams get whipped by the unathletic Panthers.


And one last thing. Guys, we are freaking good.

Great post. As you say, gotta love it when guys like Rodenberg get rewarded for years of hard work, going mostly unnoticed. And that goes for all the 'bench' guys. A true TEAM.

Is this some kind of obscure sexual reference?

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

What a great game to watch.I love the way all the guys have stepped up there play,especially Ali with JE out.OD fans were talking about how tall there guards were.I'm pretty sure everytime Ali takes the court,he's got bigger guys on him and look how well he plays.Also it's awesome to see Adam R. get some well deservd mins. his Senior year.The depth on our team is great and will only make us better in the upcoming games and Tourney.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

Good team, but I didn't think that great a team. A couple of players who could create their own shots, but no really effective offensive sets and looked to me like they were just trying to throw it towards the rim and go after the putbacks. Lee would fit in great with UNI's style, but I didn't really think I would take any of the others over what we had.

They were a good team. They may have been the most physical team we've played this year. It'll be tough going into their place next year and beating them. But that was some fantastic effort out of UNI last night.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

In all fairness to the ODU coach, I talked to someone who was sitting on press row right by where the coaches shook hands after the game... he said the ODU coach told Jake that he honestly was not directing his yelling at Jake and didn't mean to start trouble. Jake said not a big deal and they moved past it. But still... so fun to see Jake get animated. I love our coach.

Best comment made so far. That, and the "white out" looked VERY good on TV when I watched the DVR replay.

White out looked awesome on TV. Our student section looked huge.

I was guessing Stan Van Gundy.

Ron Jeremy for sure.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

I wasn't able to be at the game, but for all the "discussion" about the white out on here, it looked GREAT on T.V.!! The crowd and atmosphere at the Mc-LOUD were big time. Really made a great showing for ourselves last night to the national audience. Congrats to all involved...and especially the players for showing that they are NCAA ready.

Re: Up Next: Old Dominion

Ron Jeremy for sure.

You're right. I was also thinking Mean Gene Okerlund with hair.

I agree! Was there in person and had a blast . . . rewatched it twice since and think we really looked impressive in ESPN2 HD! They need to bring the nice HD cameras back to Cedar Falls more often. Last night's game had everything . . . great players (O'Rear, Prince Ali) . . . great plays (O'Rear's dunks, Ali's 3's, Johnny's loop-de-loop offensive rebound putback) . . . and an IMPRESSIVE student section (Bert and Ernie, white out).

John Saunders seemed to enjoy himself. Hopefully that game sticks in people's minds for a while. What a fun night!
