Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

Huh, im confused.

Aberdeen, the home of Northern State, is located way north in South Dakota. Close to North Dakota.

But the REALLY important question is, will the pep band show up for more than 3 games this year???

Yes http://www.panthernation.com/showpos...&postcount=124

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

Based on Jake's history of going Jake's history of a 3 guard lineup I'd say Bohannon is a good guess for the extra spot. Really don't need Morrison since he's already got a true point guard out there. Wouldn't mind seeing Chip Rank get it. As to AJ not starting, I'm not sure that would be a great idea. I don't know him at all personally, so it is probably not fair to me to say this, but I get the sense he would get upset and check-out if he doesn't start.

Just looked up since I've been curious for a while...Aberdeen is basically located in North Dakota. 26,000 people and the 3rd biggest city in South Dakota.

Huh, im confused.

Does that help?

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

I am curious to see some of the rotations. Not so much the starting line-up. I am pretty confident in thinking Sonnen will stay on the floor the most as long as he stays clear of fouls. How will Buss be utilized? 3 or 4 or 5? How much will Olivier and Singleton play? Will Bohannon show good enough grasp on defense to keep his shooting in the game? Those are the newcomers. I'm excited to see how they mix with the veterans we know.

Jake has said Buss will mainly play the 3 spot, a little in the 4 spot, but no plans to use him at the 5.

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

When Buss plays the 3 we're going to have some serious, Wichita State type length on the floor

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

and some pretty horrible on ball defense

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

I believe that AJ plays in exhibition games. Jake said that this was all behind them (even though he hasn't served the suspension yet). It would seem like it wasn't behind them and he was still in the dog house if he didn't get any exhibition minutes.

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

thats also a good point. jake will have to decide what gives us the best chance to win in cancun...a) establishing a rotation and continuity without AJ or b) getting him on the floor ASAP

I think you have to play AJ in the exhibitions.

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

Lol at the Fran interview. Good to know we've closed the gap with the Iowa Hawkeyes in basketball. (Hell, "we even beat them last year!")

Also, thanks to the Hawkeyes for us being able to advance to the position we're in, apparently.

Dude seems incredibly arrogant, I hope we piss on them again in Wells Fargo this year.

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

if you don't think the in-state games greatly helped uni further its program , I don't know what to tell you other than I hope someone asks you to Sadie Hawkins this year.

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

I can re-listen to it, but first time through it didn't sound like Fran was giving these in-state games "partial" credit for why we got where we are now.

Where did that link go? Was that in another thread? If so, I meant to post on there.

Yep, it was in that other thread. Whoops. The sadie hawkins comment was probably fair

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

What interview?

Re: Up Next: Briar Cliff & Northern State

i just thought it was cool that a couple national guys even brought up the uniqueness of the iowa in-state series and the strength of the games.
