Up Next: Savannah State

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Well we're making them look "nice" by making it a close game.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Yikes.

I hope we get it together in the 2nd half. This would be a tough one to overcome. Especially with the strength of the next 3 opponents.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Boyle defies all basketball experts or anyone who has ever watched basketball and says Savannah State has a nice team.

It is easier to say this than to admit we suck.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

This is the worst FT and 3pt shooting team I've seen us have. Granted that's only about 5-6 years for me but still, it's like we need someone in our face in order to make a shot. Ridiculous. What the hell guys

Edit: even if you make ~33% of 3's and 75% of your FT's, something that isn't that hard to imagine with our teams, we have an extra 15-16 pts tonight. That's a huge difference. That gives us a blowout win tonight as well as an upset over ISU

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Here's a tip Panthers. It's called a shot fake. Defensively you are actually better off if you don't jump out of your shoes and fall out of bounds when they deploy this new tactic.

Scarier stat...If they would have hit 50% of their 3's, UNI loses to the worst ranked DI team in the country.

50% if a pretty good margin though. If we hit 50% we'd have won by 20-30+

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

I'm not putting a bunch of stock into this game.

Coming off an emotional loss at ISU and playing a team dead last in RPI, our guys didn't exactly have adrenaline flowing through their veins.

The good news is even though the shots weren't falling, it didn't affect our defensive effort.

Except that for them that would have meant making 2 more shots, for us it would have been making 7 more from behind the arc.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

We were flat. Totally understandable with where this game fell.

We'll see a totally different team on Saturday. Full building, good opponent that we'll prep for.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

3-for-20 on 3s. That doesn't bother me so much. We had a lot of open looks and kept shooting them, they just weren't falling. You have nights like that, I'm just glad it came tonight against Savannah State instead of Saturday (knock on wood).

I'm more concerned about the poor free throw shooting the last two games...
