Re: Up Next: Ohio

too many big shots from Ohio today. we fought hard, rebounded and got to the line a TON. I saw some really nice things from a youthful team today.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I'm excited for this team, but we are 6-12 months away from putting it all together.

Our guards looked great, especially Morgan. Friedman not so much.

This might be the most athletic UNI team in program history.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I'm sure you guys are bummed by the outcome but I was extremely impressed by your team. We did a great job against Tuttle. Mitchell and Washpun on the floor at the same time is going to give teams fits. On our end, it looks like we hit the jackpot with Maurice Ndour. As I said on our board I'm glad we got you guys early. Our seniors down the stretch, particularly Nick Kellogg, really decided the game. Good luck the rest of the year.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I missed a good chunk of the game, how many minutes did Friedman get? apparently he was not very effective?

No one was effective in the post. Rank put up 14 points, but 12 of those were from 3pointers or Free throws. We really had zero presence in the post. They took advantage.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

Very interesting breakdown of minutes played:

Washpun: 34
Morgan: 31
Tuttle: 31
Mitchell: 29
Rank: 26
Bohannon: 26
Buss: 12
Friedman: 11

No one else saw anytime. Only 8 guys saw the floor. Obviously Morgan was very impressive today, and was rewarded with starters minutes.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I have been waiting for Marvin to get minutes, might not happen this year either. Hopefully Friedman can develop into a presence defensively and on the boards, probably don't need him to score.

Wish we would have won but I dont view this as a bad loss. We came back after having a horrible start and were in the game late. The final score does not reflect how close the game really was. I dont think we played near what we are capable of and a good Ohio team shot lights out. We will get better.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I wish we could shoot like those guys. I have my doubts that our defense is that lax, even with new guys mixed in and AJ, Sonnen and Koch taken out. That's two straight games against the Bobcats where they just couldn't miss. We had a few lapses in coverage but overall I thought we played better than I was hoping. The way Ohio kicked us around 2 years ago I thought it might be a similar result.

I wouldn't mind playing Ohio more often. That's a good program that I imagine will continue to be successful for years to come. Well-coached, recruits good players, good fan base. I see similarities between these two programs and I hope that can turn into a strong competitive relationship.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

aside from having ZERO offense inside, we did outrebound them. I think we need a little more concerted effort to get Seth the ball. He had opportunity down there if he would've been fed more. That said, he needs to demand the ball, which he did not.

I am actually happy with the way we played as a whole. If the Bobcats don't shoot the lights out (again) we may have just won that game. Solid effort.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

My thoughts:
1) At the least, we're going to be fun to watch
2) We're not going to be so reliant jumpshots
3) We're going to win about 20 games

Re: Up Next: Ohio

We aren't going to see Tuttle go 3-10 from the floor very often. Nor are we going to see teams shoot 50%+ on us from the field and from 3. (If we do it will be a long year.) I have confidence that both of those numbers will change. We also need our own 3-pt percentage to improve. We did attempt 27 free throws to their 14.

Morgan looked very much into the flow of the game on both ends of the floor. A few bad/forced passes, but solid. Friedman never really got into the flow and didn't match up well with what Ohio had on the floor, Buss and particularly Rank matched up better. He got called for one foul early in the game for standing there and letting the Bobcat player jump into him. Hate that the charging call has been all but eliminated from the game this year.

Mitchell and Tuttle led in shots taken, Mitchell made twice as many shots and also got to the line 8 times while Tuttle never got there.
