Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

I have no idea if he said anything or not but the way the Oklahoma guy whipped his head around it sure seems likely he said something.

Still giddy about this win by UNI. They have a reasonable shot at beating Xavier in Orlando. I like our chances but will be a tall order.

Carlson obviously took over in the second half and overtime, but I'm just as happy with the way Ashton played. He made a big leap yesterday.

I'll take a Sunday night ESPN2 game against a top 15 team anytime.

Great way to start this season and put the tough ending of last year in the rear view right off the bat. Start talking about big things in 16-17. That's how u come back from a tough night.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

New to the forum. Long time panther since 80's. Right or wrong with the tech foul... Who cares. He dunked over the dude and came down with emotion. Love the way we're geling as a team and playing with EMOTION!

They shoulda T'd up Klint for that behind the back finger roll bucket...cuz that thing was filthy.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

I have had an opportunity to work with David Harris on campus on a university-wide project and have been very impressed with his level of engagement and his approach/style. He is a very thoughtful!

The term thoughtful seems accurate. He certainly doesn't seem like a guy who jumps to conclusions quickly.

I'd like to hear a little more specifics from him. It's still early...but we're past chapter one. I hope he's the man with the plan.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Many pieces on this team to be excited about, but Koch looks he could dominate many Valley bigs. Laphonso Ellis kept commenting on Bennett's footwork. He made a couple bad decisons against the double team, but overall he seems like he ist going to be a weapon scoring and passing out of the post

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

It seems to me that the double team took a second to show up and if he had made his move immediately he would have had a shot.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

As the game continues to slow down for him this will improve. He's a very good passer from the post, so when he is double teamed, he's going to be able to find the open man. When he's not, he's going to be able to take his guy one on one. He's playing unselfishly, waiting for the double team to send the ball to the open man. As things continue to slow down, he will be able to 'feel' the double team come (or not come) and make his move appropriately more times than not. He's really going to be very good.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

If you're the other team... What player do you double team Koch with when Carlson, Morgan, Spencer, Wyatt, and Ashton spread the floor.

Jake on the Oklahoma come back took it one step farther and even took Koch out with the group above and really spread the court. I would think teams will start guarding Carlson with a Morgan type athlete instead of a tall post when Jake goes small. However, this will then mean a smaller guy has to go on Morgan. I love all the lineup options that Jake has.

I left McCloud out from the above group. McCloud's a freshmen and his game will come.I think he can get as hot as the others from the 3 point line, but I don't think other teams fear him yet. I'm pretty sure he had games in high school where he put up 40 points. He seems like a smart player. If he learned anything from this beginning of the year tourney it's that he doesn't have to score a point for this team to win. His ability to break down the defense will be huge. Plus the valley won't have near the quality of guards as this tourney had.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

That 4 guard line up with Klint at the 5 is an X factor for UNI.

Won us some games in St Louis last March. Love it with the shooters we have this year.

Haldeman's big 3 to tie it on Fri gets me excited. If he's confident enough to take that shot from 25 feet as a frosh...that bodes well for the season.

Welcome to the forum, Kat.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

OU is young and will get frazzled. The first half last night was street ball until OU got a 10 point lead and their cockiness just kept them pouring it on as Tulane got frazzled. I see us getting stronger as the game goes on and OU falling apart under the pressure toward the end.

I guess I nailed that prediction, even though it was driven mostly by respect for UNI and disrespect for OU, not actual analysis, but it was spot on.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

It was Don Dailey that rang him. Notorious for being pretty quick on the trigger. Good ref, as are Kissinger and Pollard, just doesn't allow as much talk.

Tomorrow night I believe we'll see two of the three from tonight plus Brian O'Connell who's an East coast guy that's done several Final Fours. Pretty impressive pool of officials for an MTE.

Where do you find your info about the refs? I would love to know who the refs are going to be in advance of a game.

I watch a ton of basketball and just have gotten to know who's who and who gets big games.

I'm really just a huge dork with nothing better to do...
