Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Also LOL at R&B coming out of the woodwork after our first loss.

When we are 9-0 and ranked he is nowhere to be found. Now that we pick up our first loss on the road in double OT he claims the sky is falling.

Noticed that as well. No where to be found till we lose. Then it's the same old trolling.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Good call on Lohaus getting some more floor time. I have as much trust in him as I do any of our guards. He has incredible poise and almost never makes a mistake, which is unreal for a true freshman. I would love to see him split time with Deon at the point.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

I think Wes deserves to start over Deon for the rest of the season.

With that being said, it probably makes sense to keep Wes on the bench because he is the leader and top scorer from the group coming off the bench.

I don't think it matters who starts. It DEFINITELY matters who finishes. Wes is light years ahead of Deon in every facet of the game. Deon is our 3rd best pg

BTW, with respect to our at large chances, I believe we are still very much in the drivers seat.

Take care of business in the next two games and we'll be heading into conference play 11-1 with an RPI in the 30's and either ranked in the top 25 or sitting just outside. Our first 7 MVC games are favorable with 4 being at home and almost all of them against projected bottom half teams.

Obviously I'm looking pretty far ahead, but we are still in good shape to make this season into something special.

I completely agree with you.

I don't think this harms our at large chances at all. Obviously a win would have been 100 times better and we gave it away, literally

Football is over so it is basketball time. I have posted some in basketball.

It takes guts to post on a forum? Lol. I suppose you guys think the Congressional Medal of Honor is in order for other posters.

Dare anybody say something negative. You want to play big boy basketball but not be judged as big boys.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Before anyone forgets, I'd like to point out if the refs correctly call the foul on Bo's three with about a minute left the game completely changes. Bo was hot and our best free-throw shooter. If he makes it to put us up three all we need to do is defend the three point line and VCU is forced to make a contested three or foul us on our last possession.

[ProwlingPanther]

Can't blame this on the refs although there were blatant missed calls. The "block" on Wes being one. We were 1-8 from the ft line to start the game and our go to point guard could care less about taking care of the ball. That is why we lost.

[06panther10]

Not bad loss by any means, but unfortunately as a mid major our margin for error is (unfairly) narrow and we blew a big opportunity tonight. So many chances to steal a W and we just couldn't finish. All the missed FTs and layups, Deon's awful turnovers. Ugh.

The Iowa game is way more important now than I would prefer it to be. If we lose to them, we will get virtually zero credit for a good 9-2 start because we will have lost our two toughest games. Its BS but that is how people will view us.

I also think Deon got fouled on the last possession in regulation. I'm not surprised they didn't call it, but a foul is a foul no matter the game situation.

Seth was having trouble hedging and switching on their guards. He also was tied with Deon for TO's. Deon needs to just try to cross people over and leave the spin move alone. Also he needs to take a few 12 foot fade aways instead of always driving. This may help create some opportunities to dump it down low. That is what I like about Wyatt.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

I actually think the loss will make the team better, kinda wake up call, they have tasted being unbeaten and in the top 25 I am guessing Jake will use this as a big motivator and we will see a fired up UNI squad against Iowa, rankings are nice for the school but it really comes down to making it through the MVC I would rather see UNI get beat early if their going to lose then lose to a conference team they should beat

Did I say gutless? I meant witless. Better?
