Re: Seth Tuttle

Even lakes/JBB doesn't deserve being punched in the face as much as you do. Go check yourself into a mental ward, you obviously have an issue with experiencing joy/optimism.

If you would've said that before the summer my first thoughts would've been Mitchell kicked ass (which he did towards the end) and Olivier/Buss held their own. Tuttle wasn't even in my mind since some people on here were sure he needed more muscle before being able to compete in the MVC (which I agreed with).

I think that is a "No" answer to my question.

Funny, you bring back Moran, Koch, James, Sonnen and toss in two guys on the all freshmen team and nobody would have expected a better year? Ummm Ok.

Re: Seth Tuttle

I'm sure the players all expected a better overall record this season.

Re: Seth Tuttle

If you had known before the season started that UNI would have two on the all freshmen team wouldnt you have expected a better year?

Why are you asking us? We already know what you think; do you remember hypothesizing that guys like Jake Koch have already experienced the ultimate high of beating Kansas two years ago and they will never get back to that, so why bother trying?

Anyway, look at how many close losses in the MVC we've been involved in;

Losing by 4 @ Illinois State

Losing by 3 @ Creighton

Losing by 3 to Wichita State

Losing by 1 on a near buzzer beater on a contested shot at Evansville.

If 2 or 3 of those games go a different way for us we have 3rd place all to ourselves and are a likely "bubble" team with good non-conference wins over Colorado State, winning on the road at Iowa State, and pounding a dangerous Iowa team that has some good wins of their own.

As it is, we are one win away from our 4th straight 20 win season and we will likely get another post-season bid, hopefully in the NIT. Maybe we get hot this weekend and win the whole damn thing.

When I think more about it though....nah, you're probably right; we'll never be as good as two years ago beating Kansas and having a player on the cover of Sports Illustrated, so why even bother giving %100? After all, student-athletes don't like competing, much less winning.

Check out this 360 degree photo of the Scottrade Center.

Thought the extreme closeup of just Seth's eyes was funny.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Jake Koch should easily be on the all defense team. And Toure' Murry got screwed I think he should have been first team.

I would agree with this. Toure' really stepped up this year in the games I saw.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Was scrolling through the top PER players and saw just how great a year Tuttle was having. He is around 37th in the nation and 3rd in the valley.

Also reminded me how disappointing the veterans like AJ and Johnny have been this year. Johnny is 70th out of 90 in the valley, needed a lot more improvement out of him over his career. Great hustle and energy and that shows in some great games, but the lack of consistency is what makes us such an up and down team.

Shooting over 65% from the field will do that for you...

Nice little article on Seth and Deon. The article talks about our rookies growing up this year, but I think the same can be said for our Rookie Beatwriter. Carson is blossoming before our eyes, you guys.

I'd vote him media newcomer of the year if there is such a thing.
