Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

If you can't beat UK by double digits you have issues. That's essentially a D - I I I school right now. They are awful. Also i noticed Milwaukee lost to Loyola in the season opener. I'm suddenly feeling more confident about this game. Not saying this is a gimme but we should win this game given what I'm seeing on paper. Obviously a game isn't won on paper but you get what I'm saying

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Milwaukee has knocked off Davidson, and played tough with DePaul for most part. This is their 2nd real D1 home game and they have played 9 games already (almost 1/3 way through their season!). They should be clicking better due to the experience.

For UNI it's a road game, and it's been a struggle to win in Milwaukee. Would love to see Chip Rank's homecoming be a memorable one for him!

I'm glad we have some time to prepare for this game. Jake is always better with ample scouting time.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

•The Milwaukee Panthers hail from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They compete in the Horizon League, and play their home games at The J. Martin Klotsche Center

This threw me off as well, but the game will be at U.S. Cellular Arena. Milwaukee decided before last season to play at the 3,500-seat Klotsche Center, which appears more like a practice/rec center gym. Before this season, it decided to go back to 10,000+ U.S. Cellular.

Thanks, Carson! Ill edit that when I can.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

A summary of this thread so far:

1. Buss is a pure post player and needs to score on the block and rebound as well as Egleseder.
2. Chip and Buss are equal, so if Chip starts to "slip," Buss can be immediately plugged into Chip's roster spot with the expectation of better results.
3. Buss only scored against LaSalle because he was being guarded by a 6'3" player 100% of the time. The defensive mismatch is apparently not a result of the opponent switching screens or Coach Jake's scheme creating the mismatch. Furthermore, Buss cannot use his outside shooting, jump shot, or quickness to be a mismatch against a "physical" player who is as tall as Buss is.
4. Buss is worthless until he shows that he can dominate in conference physical pure post players.
5. Buss can't/couldn't get minutes, because Jake is just ignoring him. It obviously has nothing to do with his ability to perform the role Jake is asking him to perform and especially has nothing to do with rebounding and/or defense.

<rant>Why does this board continually ask players to do things that are incongruent with their skill set? Remember the folks who wanted Kwadzo to be "an athletic slasher?"

Buss is not a Power Forward, he's not Adam Koch. I don't care if Nate is the tallest guy on the roster, he's not a traditional post player. Stop expecting him to turn into one.

Chip starts because he's a better defender and rebounder, he makes few mental mistakes and still threatens on offense. You watch UNI, you listen to Coach Jake talk, you should know which traits are valued by the staff. Rank and Buss have different skill sets; they are not the same player.

No player plays 40 minutes of the exact same role on every offensive possession. Different packages, different lineups, different sets, different defenses. The team needs to do many things throughout a game to win. This isn't NBA Live 96 where I can just bring the ball up the court with red arm-pitted Dan Majerle and make it rain with three balls all the way to the title.

We are talking about real people who have strengths and weaknesses and good days and bad days. This is not a video game where each player has a position letter and numerical ratings in a handful of categories that feed into a formula that decides their FG%. I'm not saying we should forgo posting about situations and possibilities, but please stop pigeon holing these guys based on the heights and weights listed in the program.</rant>

NBA Live, not Jam. Still classic though!

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Maybe it is just the absence of suits, but some of the Milwaukee players look like they are still in high school.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Looks like they'll be able to roll out a little more height than us tonight. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds tonight. Did I read free stream somewhere?
