Re: Up Next: Virginia

Virginia also played very strong FT defense

Ha. That's good.

Honestly though, the difference between this team at home and this team on the road, is staggering.

Re: Up Next: Virginia

I think the 92 games Rima is referring to is the streak of making at least three 3's. We've gone over 450 games since our last without a 3, and that game was back in 2000.

Oh, THREE 3 pointers! That's makes it much more relevant. I hate stats like that. So some game when UNI makes only TWO and THE STREAK ends, he can start counting how many games in a row with TWO or more.

Re: Up Next: Virginia

Uni's offensive playbook is a cook book of 500 ways to jack up a three ball.

this...jack them up by the biggest & thinnest guys on the team & miss the rim entirely while you are at it.

Are you okay?

Re: Up Next: Virginia

We're all upset in that we went half way across the country and didn't shoot the ball very well (understatement of the year).

Here's my take:

1. They are an ACC team and should have better talent.
2. Virginia is playing at home.
3. We came off finals.
4. Virginia was no. 1 in the nation in scoring defense.
5. Our talent is not what we think it is/or we hope it is.
6. Our defense is going to win us some games and we should be good at home and not so good on the road.

That was special. Here is mine:

1. We have no rebounders
2. We have not even tried to score in the post since Eglseder
3. We have not tried to play interior defense since O'Rear
4. We do not develop or commit to big guys in the paint.
5. we recruit Euro-style big men from either WI/MN or Iowa & tell them to chuck 3's from a long ways out all game & don't worry about posting up, shooting intermediate shots or rebound.
6. we recruit point guards that have no interest in passing the ball. They prefer to drive wrecklessly to the hoop & throw the ball up in the off-chance it might go in occasionally.
7. the entire team chucks 3's over & over & over again & miss a lot.

Re: Up Next: Virginia

What exactly do you think Tuttle does?

One guy on the entire roster...well congrats on a complete team.


man it is difficult to recruit big guys...agreed...lets just get a bunch of chuckers.


Uni should schedule grinnell next year for their joke div iii game. Migh break every record in the book.

[williebat]

I agree with two and three. The rest not so much. But those are calculated coaching decisions that have not paid off. You can win with guards in the NCAA we just have not figured out how.

Three games out of UNI, Chris Olivier is averaging more than 10 pts./game for Eastern Illinois and is a starter. He had 14 points and 15 rebounds in a win yesterday. Chris has made no 3-point attempts.

He's a also a giant head case with a big me first attitude that this team doesn't need.

[panther-state]

Re: Up Next: Virginia

And he's played against Wright State, IPFW and Tennessee State. His big game last night was in a 1 pt victory against 1-13 TSU.

I honestly don't believe we are worse off without him. We are talking about two completely different programs playing two completely different levels of competition

you completely miss the point
