"Yep...give the ball to AJ and let him carry the team all season long....terrible idea, as good as AJ is."
Pretty much saying having the ball in AJ's hands all season is a terrible idea. HOW? get him the ball and let him do what he does best...SCORE.

He doesn't like max either. I think this guy thinks we should be playing about 7 guys total.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

on a side note, Iowa scrimmaged Western Illinois today. Archie is there starting 5 man right now, and Devon Archie is not good..Also sounds like Basabe did not play very well at all. Clenz, what do you think our lineup looks like come the Iowa game and who do you think will matchup with Melsahn?

Yep....rely on one person all season long.....


That's a great way to finish at the bottom of the league. To rely completely on AJ this year IS a terrible idea.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

It was a 19 point win and he shot 4 times in the last 2:22...when UNI was up 20. He was on the floor at that time with Morrison, Martino, Rank, and Singleton...not exactly Moran or James. He was on the floor occasionally with Sonnen. So, with a 6'8" small forward, he probably has the best chance at getting good looks over the defense. Again, I'm not too worried at this point. The rotation hasn't even been fully set yet. I like the depth I saw today though.

Actually 10, but two are injured right now..

I wasn't at the game today, I was driving back from Fargo. I don't really have any "great insight" into the players right now - other than Buss shooting like he did in an exhibition is okay.

If I had to guess, as of now and what I've read, I'd guess Singleton with double help from a backside guard. Our defense did something very similar last year to players like Echenique and it works pretty damn well as Coach Jake's teams have always been very very good at not just help defense, but helping the helper.

It also depends on how well Olivier, Jake, and Pehl are doing health wise.

Not just AJ, but also Jake, Johnny, Tuttle, and hell, throw Marc in there. Marc had just about as good of a summer as anybody! also Chip. Chip is a complete workhorse and I would like to see him get some shots.

So.... rely completely on 5, maybe 6 guys, to score all the points?

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Happy to see the freshman doing so well in game 1. Excited to see what this team can accomplish, not only this year, but the next several years.

Little concerned about the injuries though...

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

the majority of the points, yes. Last year, the majority of our points came from Jo, Johnny, Lucas, Jake and AJ. Then you would usually have Chip and Marc contribute a few points here and there, besides the Moorehead state game where Marc had 15 and O'Rear had 2

You weren't on here complaining about Marc or Chip taking shots in exhibition games last year.

Bench players NEED to contribute. I promise you there will be a game this year that UNI will NEED Nate to play a big role.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

You're right. Because I respect Marc and Chip's game. Against Wartburg, Chip shot 6 times in 16 minutes. Marc shot 3 times in 20 minutes. Against Mary, Chip shot 4 times in 20 minnutes and Marc took 6 shots, which he made 4, in 16 minutes...thats much different than yanking 14 shots and only making 4 of them in 15 minutes..

You also *****ed about last years exhibition games...where Nate took a total of 4 shots.

Sonnen took 153 shots last year and had the lowest FG% of anyone who saw significant PT at 32%....you must be appalled by that...right? I mean a role player taking that many shots and making so few but continuing to shoot, that shouldn't happen.
