Up Next: Oklahoma

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

UNI is 68th on KenPom right now, Oklahoma is 27th.

A win tonight would be great for our resume in a variety of ways.

If Morgan, Koch, and Carlson keep delivering, I like our odds.

Still lots of last year in the KenPom numbers, I believe. I really don't know what to think of OU this year. I would probably predict both teams closer to 40 right now.

Whoa...Darrion Strong ended up at OU?!
He's got to be like 25?! And still a junior!
He's a Tartan kid originally. Nice ball player. Crazy blast from the past.

Don't know age, but looks like he spent the last two years at Coffeyville CC in Kansas and the two prior at Quakerdale in Iowa. Left Tartan before junior year.

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 always enjoy reading other teams forums over the last few years. We went from not being mentioned or being a shock if we beat them to getting national respect.

I could get used to fans of a team that went to the Final Four last year saying that a win against us would be good for their resume!

So I was a little sarcastic with the 25 year old comment, but he was on the UNI radar for a very long time. That's why it seems like he should be so old!

I mean.....we're pretty young ourselves.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Xavier beats Clemson. I think that is good. If we win we get to play Xavier twice. If we lose we don't have to play Xavier twice.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

I gather the ASU-Tulane game went long and the UNI-OU game is delayed. Anybody know how long before UNI starts?

I gather that too. Was just about to ask the same thing.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

The scheduling wa kind of messed up. ASU/Tulane started at 4, no way UNI was going to start at 6. I'm not sure what time we're looking at for a tip off though.

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

We'll need to stop the penetration drive a little better tonight than we did last. And, of course, we need not get smoked on the boards.
That said I think we have a really good shot tonight. The crowd is pro panthers. Still probably less than 500 people here though, lol!

Re: Up Next: Oklahoma

Tip is at 6:28 Iowa time. There is 15 min on the warmup clock right now.
