I said that because I felt like crap after the game and didn't want to see any more of it. I can handle the negative but had enough of it tonight. That's all.

Understandable. I feel terrible for the seniors. That's no way to go out. Hopefully this can be channeled in a positive way for the guys coming back.

Bump for good luck?

Probably too late in the conference season, but at this point it can't hurt anything.

When UNI has a PG, that is when we flourish. Like too many uni pg’s under jake, he can’t finish and can’t shoot ft’s. Look at his shooting % across the board. The three bigs lead in shooting %, but never see the ball or play (koch, phyfe, mcdonnell). Pick should never shoot a 3 and rhodes should never shoot anything. Koch turns the ball over way too much. Should quit dribbling and look to pass more. I would play rhodes with lohaus more and commit to the inside game. Haldeman, lohaus and carlson only playees allowed to launch. Play mcdonnell or phyfe more with koch at same time and play in-out game with pickford getting the garbage

The problem with that is you have nobody in that lineup that has the quickness to penetrate. Carlson would be the guy with the best ability to drive, ironically enough.

Your point about good PGs is well taken. BUT, they were PGs who were athletic, not guys who take set shots. UNI needs more people with the ability to take guys off the dribble. McCloud has shown flashes of that, so hopefully it develops in his last two years.

I'm pretty sure this is the first post I've seen from Mudrafan this basketball season. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in his opinion.

I have followed UNI athletics for over 50 years. If I’m not qualified to give my opinion about UNI then I don’t know who in the hell is

Sure, you're qualified, but it's still an opinion. You make some good points, but you're dead wrong on Carlson. He's the one who should never be allowed to shoot, in fact he should never see the floor. 80% of possessions that he touches the ball we have a turnover, and I'm including when he shoots as turnovers. I hate to say something like this, but I think he poisons the team. I only remember him sitting out for an extended period twice this year, the first time we went on a 16-2 run and the second time we went 25-0. Just my observation.
