Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

Drexel is scary good but for some reason I feel good about this game.

Drexel indeed should have at least made a play in game. Especially over a terrible Cal team.

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

We tend to show up better against good teams - would feel even better if this was on a neutral floor (a la Madison Square Garden later in the tourney), but I think we'll give a good showing - hopefully we can squeak one out.

Still can't get over how open Tuttle was on that last play in the St. Joe's game. He was waving his arms like he was flagging down a tow truck.

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

how do you guys think the Cats will react to playing in the morning?

['70 Grad]

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

I think they are just happy to be playing, wherever/whenever. Perhaps our last opponent felt a bit snubbed.

Drexel? Don't know - but, we've GOT to shoot better!

As much as I love em I am amazed at the lack of scoring from aj, Koch, and Moran. I know their intangibles are vital but seriously guys score some damn points.

I know many people thought AJ was shooting too much, or forcing shots earlier in the year, but when he isn't scoring we can really struggle offensively.

I think UNI wins this game, there is no way they shoot as bad as they did the last game from 3pt land.


I think UNI wins by 5-10 pts, Drexel is a very good team, but UNI had one of their worst shooting nights vs St Joes and still won.

Moran has never been a scorer. The fact he plays as much as he does leads people to believe he is. He's never been over 10ppg any season at UNI....career is 7.6ppg. His game is all about hustle/intangibles/etc... He's hit some big shots though, which I think is why people think of him as someone who does/should score a lot. He's scored in double figures just 9 times this year, and just 42 times in his career, which is only about 1/3rd of his games.

AJ's lack of scoring the last two games isn't a good sign though, and needs to change for the team to get to NYC.


Koch, regardless what you want to believe about him, is a lot like Lucas but a better outside game. He is the best post defender on the team, and one of the better ones in the league. I would like to see him score more, because he is capable of it. However, people look at the game he scored 34 last year made people think he was a 15ppg player and he isn't.

Well said but I know all this of course. It is just that those three combined for eight points in last Weeks game. That is horrible
All I am saying is come on and at least score a combined twenty. For these three guys that should be doable.

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

Drake loses tonight @ Rice. Attendance listed at 731??

[PantherHawk]

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

NO WAY! 731 people went to that game?? wow!

[orangetennis]

Re: Up Next: Drexel (NIT)

i think this one will be a standard UNI game plan.

If we can control the tempo and frustrate the Dragon offense, while hitting some timely 3's, we'll win. If not, it will be curtains for the season.

Go Cats!

[Trapped in California]

I expect the over/under on this game may be less than 100.

I sincerely hope so because if they do shoot as badly, there is no way we win against Drexel. St Joes was not a very good team (not knocking our win but they still werent a very good team). Drexel is much better. I think we are very capable of beating them but Im expecting a close game.

This gym isn't Drexel's normal one is it? It's tiny as hell.
