The Tale Of The Tape?

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

As often as you ask that, I'm actually thinking about sticking around longer just to annoy you.

Ban...

Where exactly are these "statistics" that show we took a lot of bad shots? I would like to see MSU's statistics showing their good shots. Just because we shot poorly doesn't mean that they were necessarily bad shots. I agree that we had some, but that isn't the reason we lost. The reason we lost is because we couldn't make any of them. The MSU defense was doing it's job and forcing us to take bad shots. Do you really think Kwadzo likes to shoot off balance while falling away from the hoop? I'm sure he would rather shoot another way.

Also, you talk about Jacobsen telling them to stop taking bad shots. So if he had mentioned that somewhere in the huddle, you would be completely fine with how he coached the game? I'm just trying to get this down. You weren't in the huddle. You weren't there during timeouts. You weren't even in St. Louis. How do you know what Jacobsen told them and what he didn't? You have no idea.

Go back to watching wrestling. You and 25 other people are the only ones who can watch the pathetic display that Penrith keeps putting out on the mat.

As for bringing in a million dollars......I would like to know where you get this information. My fiance is a Special Events Coordinator and Supervisor for the UNIDome and McLeod Center. I will let you know that there is not a single event that brings in anywhere close to that. I will try to get some actual numbers from her so I can put you in your place.

Keep on being a d-bag Ban....

If Penrith was half the coach Jacobsen is, we wouldn't be talking about firing him every single week. We wouldn't finish 40 something at nationals. We wouldn't lose our conference. We wouldn't have a bad recruiting class. We wouldn't lose by 30-40 against every real opponet out there.

----------------------Why did you not respond to this stuff? You brought up the Cedar Valley argument. Yeah, that money is nice, but keeping a team around because we are able to host a tournament is not successful.

I can't wait to hear what you have to say about all this stuff, that is unless you are going to simply stay quiet to avoid being a toolbag.

Could it be that MSU started to front Jordan and we messed up two lobs to him? Excellent defense by the opponent does not mean a coach screwed the pooch.

Honestly, when was the last time Jordan saw significant time the last 6, or so, minutes of a game?

Apparently didn't see the game, eh? Or, if you did, have never played basketball apparently, eh?

When shooting, you shoot square to the basket, not off balance, and not falling away. Second, when behind in the game with plenty of time left, take high percentage shots, not half-assed prayers from 30 feet away. Yes, ESPN loves to do stories on that, but as we found out, it doesn't lead to wins.

This isn't opinion, but facts of what happened against MSU. Considering that we only lost by 5, taking just a few more high percentage shots and shots on balance could have made all of the difference for us.

Also nice to see another fairweather UNI "fan." Certainly my favorite kind of "fan," and I'm sure that our wrestling team appreciates it.

This post is so full of BS I don't know where to begin. A real "fan" would know the score of the game. Heck a real "fan" might spend 30 seconds with Google to check the score. If you can't even get that small part of your post right, what hope do you have with getting a detailed analysis of the game right? Nice work "fan".

Gee, what an idiot I am, eh? To be off by two points.

Oh, my goodness, the shame that has been placed on me by an imbecile. How can I ever recover?

But going off your "analysis" that concluded that if we score more points we win, I'm the imbecile?

Moving on...

Let's see: Would it be two more points that we'd need to score? Is that right? If so, I agree with you: that's insurmountable!

WOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!! This must be an April Fool's joke, right?

You addressed nothing.

I stated that you have NO IDEA whether Jacobsen told his players to take better shots or not. To tear down Jacobsen because our players were taking bad shots is ridiculous. I played basketball all my life, as well as one year at Iowa Western. I'm assuming that is much more than you can say.

Of course taking a few more good shots (and making them...you keep forgetting that part) could have changed the game. However, you are here to try and tear down Coach Jacobsen. That is ridiculous. You, again, have absolutely no idea what he was saying to his players. He could have been telling them every single time down the court to take a better shot. That doesn't mean that they are going to, or even get the opportunity to.

As for your "fan" argument...Ban, I am not a fan of UNI wrestling. I was a UNI student, and I come from a football and basketball family. That being said, I still wish all UNI teams well. However, I am not a fan of UNI wrestling. I don't go to matches, I don't go to tournaments. Why? I don't like to watch wrestling. If I pick up the newspaper, will I read about UNI wrestling? Yeah, I will. I hope that they figure out a way to fix what is happening in CF with the wrestling program.

You wrote this thread because you are trying to do anything you possibly can to take the heat off of Penrith. Anything. When your wrestlers take down the best team in the country, then you can come back here and talk about coaching. Until then, don't. We beat UNLV, Kansas, Old Dominion, Siena, and many other top level programs this season. We did it with a bunch of farm boys from Iowa. We don't have any McDonald's All-Americans, we don't have the 6'7" athletic, slashing, perfect jumpshot point guard, we have a 7 footer who just learned how to use his body this season, a group of 2-3 freshman who make great plays when we need them. Why are we so good? Why were we in the Sweet 16?

Coaching.

Jacobsen found what our players do best, and used it. The players make the shots and deserve all the credit for that. They play the defense, and they play it perfectly. However, Jacobsen is the one who gets them ready each and every day.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

As for seeing the game....

I was 12 rows from the court. I went to every single home game this season and last (minus Drake because of ER), went to Creighton and Southern Illinois this season, WSU last season, haven't missed a home football game in 5 seasons, and went to numerous women's volleyball and basketball games.

I'm also a Scholarship Club member...as are my parents and uncle. We have colored concrete in our driveway back home of the UNI logo. My car was coated in purple paint on my way to St. Louis (you wouldn't know, I'm sure you didn't go), and I have enough UNI apparel to open up my own UNIVersitees.

Not much of a fan.

Re: The Tale Of The Tape?

We did it with a bunch of farm boys from Iowa.

Why do people always use this stupid sterotype? Only 3 of our top 10 players this year were from Iowa and none of them from farms. Not that there is anything wrong with being an Iowan or a farmer, but you can't build a nationally competitive team as we have with farm kids from Iowa. There are not enough good bb players with that background available each year, and if there were any really good ones they would go to Iowa or ISU. UNI is much more respected outside of Iowa than we are in Iowa.

Exactly and the fact the defense was shutting him down, voila!
