How about now? This is all of a sudden a play-in team.

It's not looking good. Not at all.

The run and gun style of basketball they talked about early in the year needs to go away and get back to playing defense and getting to the line(and make free throws when you get there). Chuck and suck basketball isn't getting it done.

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

Didn't UNI start off 0-2 in 2009? Went on a little bit of run. I think UNI can do it, they just need to settle down and stop launching so many 3's!

Tonight I was watching and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why was UNI running it up the floor and shooting a 3 with 28 seconds left on the shot clock? UNI was always a grind it out and make the defense play defense for 25 seconds. Also they had a height advantage inside and they are always good at the inside/outside game. didn't seen much of that in the 2nd half.

I think jake will get it turned around and they will be a tough out come Late feb/march.

The sky has fallen..

Its harder to enjoy other college basketball too. I see McDermott put 26, Gasser play well against Iowa. I can't help thinking about what could of been.................

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

Evansville will be a middle of the pack team. To lose to them at HOME is really bad. Maybe that summer trip gave us a leg up to start the season & now everyone else is getting in stride. Sure lost all of our momentum & confidence. Free throw shooting!!

A horizon game: sky, meet ground.

I think we have a nice team, but the evidence is lacking right now.

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

Knowing that we will have a February swoon also - since we always do - losing at this point puts us out of discussion for an at-large. We may make a nice run in the MVC tourney, but we are not the team we were a month ago.

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

It's not the record that frustrates me. It's the play and the feel of the team.

Oh heck maybe we should drop athletics. On the other hand long conference season and we can still make a run and get to a decent post season tourney.

Here is our problem, it is January 3rd, a week ago we were 10-2 and talking at large, today we are talking a "decent post season tourney." There is only one post season tourney...

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

Anyone else think that the offensive playbook has gotten smaller? It seems that we are only running 5-6 plays now when we come down the court. Oh where, oh where did the back-door lob/dunk go???

Re: The Sky is Falling Thread 2011-12 Version

Moran and Koch have not played well the last 3 games and I think that is the difference. Also it appeared that AJ wasn't 100% against Evensville. If he has his season average, we would have won that game. This team will get its feet back under them and they will rally.

This has been the problem I would say last two games for Koch and 6 or so for Johnny, he was struggling to make 3 foot shots in early warm up.
