Re: Back In the Prime Time

Nothing wrong with that. I can think of two very good pro athletes who partially made careers out of being that guy: Bill Laimbeer and AJ Perczynski. Both helped their teams win championships.

Piersynski made a career out of above average defense and being a solid bat for many years. His attitude and "chippiness" has been and will continue to be his biggest hindrance. It's exactly the reason (in addition to no longer having even average skills) he hasn't been able to secure steady work these past few seasons and is now in the minors. Being a dick doesn't work when you have to have a close and healthy working relationship with half of the roster, aka the pitching staff. AJ was able to get around that for years until Father Time caught up with him. Yasiel Puig is a better baseball analogy

I didn't think any UNI players played especially well during the late game.

Lohaus had 10 assists and Carlson almost through down one of the sickest dunks I've ever seen live.

Rima said on his show tonight tuttle has a sore back. He didn't play too aggressive because he didn't want it to get worse...

Re: Back In the Prime Time

Lohaus leads the league in assists I believe. No idea what his turnovers are but I'm excited to see this kid ball

This makes me very nervous.

Also just in case anyone forgot - there is not necessarily a strong correlation between being PTL success and regular season success, but there is a high correlation of sucking in PTL and sucking during the season.

With the exception of these threads, I don't follow the PTL. What you said does make a lot of sense. The PTL seems to be a little more freelance, less structure. Guys who excel in that translate far better to national level competition, and that's what counts. Basketball at that level is about making plays, not running plays (at both ends of the floor too).

Team defense takes a team whose every member knows and can execute the plan. So I would expect that the greatest loss of playing level due to the jumbled up teams would be for UNIs players on defense.

Re: Back In the Prime Time

Are Woodbury and/or Uthoff's scoring averages closely related to their rebounding averages? I could see Woodbury scoring mostly because there isn't anyone to box him out.

Re: Back In the Prime Time

Uthoff doesn't spend much time inside. He's a 3 or occasional stretch 4.

Or because he is playing most of his games against high school and D3 big men, I would be proud.

Maybe you don't realize this, but national caliber DI basketball is FULL of 6'8+ players who play outside most of the time because they have the athletic skillset to do so. See: Nate Buss. If you want to win at national/MVC level, you give your left n@tt to recruit them. Those players are worth far more than a roster full of 6'1 slow guards.
