Wichita game a sell out?

Re: Wichita game a sell out?

Being at the wsu game the player comparison was shocking. Physically it looked like boys playing men. No comparison at all between the teams in terms of size and physicality. Baker is a monster of a guard and they shuffled in monsters at the post in waves. I think some fbs football teams would be happy to have the guns (arms) that wsu has. Good lord they must lift weights 8 days a week.

I heard Boyle say on the radio their talent comes in waves and Tuttle had similar comments in the paper.

Uni worked damn hard for every shot against wsu. Effort only takes you so far. Uni gave max effort and it wasnt good enough. If wsu is going to keep having teams like their current one the rest of the valley is going to need to rethink how they do things.

For uni to beat wsu the panthers would have to shoot lights out from the arc and frankly wsu would have to take the game for granted and mail in an effort.

I found a pic of R&B.

We played with them in spurts both games and lost by 9 this last one. I agree, they are clearly better, but I don't think it would take the sky to fall to beat them. To say it was boys against men is a little bit of a stretch.

Physically, R&B is correct. WSU's strength program is either light years ahead if us, or they're taking a drastically different approach. Oh, and before I read someone say "they juice , we don't"...wise up.

Or DNA has something to do with size and strength.

It's more like they are recruiting jucos who went to prep school after high school. So yes, in a way it is boys (18, 19, 20 yr olds) against men (21, 22, and 23 year olds).

Re: Wichita game a sell out?

Exactly. Marshall gets guys that are 23 year old juniors. Nothing wrong with that. Just a different philosophy. Being right in the middle of JUCO hotbed will lead to it

Could be, but that doesn't explain why some of our juniors and seniors are still at an obvious strength and bulk deficit. Their comparable players are also quicker and faster than ours, or at very least equal. Granted, Deon may have/has leg injury issues, but Cotton was still quick enough to take away Deon's first step, and is taller and outweighs him considerably. I point this out not as a negative against Deon (who's quick enough to get around just about anyone), but to make the point that WSU is ahead of us athletically. Their S&C program is probably a big part of that.

Iowa has three JUCO teams ranked in the top 20 of DIV 1 JUCO including the top ranked team. Iowa also has a team ranked in the top 20 of DIV 2 JUCO.

Lack of nearby options is not an excuse.

Re: Wichita game a sell out?

Let's also consider the fact that a good amount of our players are Iowa kids. Typically not the most athletically gifted crop. Deon and Wes are about as quick as anyone, but we usually only have 1 or 2 guys like that, where other teams recruit 5 or 6 guys like that. A typical slow defensive style of basketball is not going to interest quick, explosive athletes.

Does uni allow electronic tickets transfers like Iowa? That system is awesome. I don't know of who buys the empty seats...I assume it's Deere, Deery, cbe, principal, some University folks, but we need to make it easy to give them away to friends so they get filled.

Beer is absolutely an answer. I've been saying this for years. The thing is, UNI is actually in a position to be a leader here because the regents will see it as less of a risk than Iowa or isu.

You may want to go to a Waterloo Black Hawks game for two reasons:
1) To watch how they produce the game with an MC, video, ect..
2) To witness the beer drinking crowd.
