Up Next: Bradley

Re: Up Next: Bradley

A lot talk about Haldeman and think he is all about 3's. As the games go by he has been going to the basket more and making them. He has added a new dimension to his game in every game and it is all about confidence and learning. That second half last night he sure didn't play like a red shirt freshman. He worked very hard to get the 14 points in the 2nd half. His defense is a work in progress and that will get better as he matures. We know this is a tough season but with guys like, Juwan, McDonnell, Brown and Dahl we need to stay positive for the future. Keep in mind most likely Lohaus hopefully will do a medical redshirt and don't forget we have Adam McDermott will add a great deal to the team next year along with Phyfe. Lets not write off this year a lot of games are left. They need to get together and finish strong for the Jeremy. He needs the guys to step up.

Agreed on McCloud, Brown, Haldeman, and McDonnell. I haven't seen enough of Dahl to have an opinion. They did mention Haldeman driving a few times last night - glad to hear. McDonnell needs another offensive threat besides shooting threes, but hopefully the coaches can develop that. These guys will get better as time goes on.

If they can figure out a way to get another 25 pounds on McDonnell, he'll be a real force.

Haldeman is very underrated. Sure he's a freshman and will have his ups and downs but will be a very good player for 4 years with us. Him and McDermott on the floor together will be nice.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Phyfe's dad wasnt a big time scorer but he had a mean streak and threw down some nasty dunks.

Some attitude is something uni desperately needs.

McDonnell needs about 50 pounds.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Even though we got out rebounded by 14, we actually took 13 more shots than Bradley last night, and had one more free throw than them too, yet still lost by double digits!

Re: Up Next: Bradley

I really hope this is just hyperbole.

If we're down 20 to Drake at home, I stand by my statement. I'm not a season ticket holder who sits on his hands and keeps his mouth shut... not in a one possession game for the conference lead, or staring 0-6 in the face and dead last in the conference. Maybe that's why my wife sits 3 seats away...haha.

I get it, we deserve the right to cheer or boo at our own wish. I would just say, please don't do it at certain players. A lot of these kids are young just trying to get used to college ball. They're as frustrated as us, and need fan support more than ever. If we're getting killed late, I'd have a hard time blaming you though.

When I was listening, Bradley was shooting lights out. Down low, from three, didn't matter. It's got got to drive Jake nuts that this team gives up so many good looks. But, it's also on he and the staff to fix it.

We're losing Morgan and adding McDermott on the wing. I can't imagine what McDermott is going to bring above and beyond what Morgan does now. Saying he will add a great deal is quite a stretch. Hopefully Jake can recruit some guards with size going forward.

If someone could just figure out how to do a weight transfer, I'd be willing to donate 25 of my pounds for him.

If you consider yourself primarily to be the consumer of a product, then I guess booing makes sense. However, if you view yourself primarily as a UNI fan, then cheer the effort and encourage the team for the future. A fan finds ways to cheer the team, even during bad times.

I consider myself an investor. I invest money to tickets, PSC etc. I invest time to be at every home game. My ROI isn't exactly what I expected. Don't worry fellas, I won't boo the freshman. I have a little more tact than that. But Im not the kinda guy who hands out participation trophy's to the last place team. Sometimes a swift kick in the backside is exactly what's needed. The coaches, who all have ample salaries, need to solve this riddle. I have faith they will.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

We haven't had to feel this bad at an overall athletic year since the 90's. At our level, we really have been spoiled.

Things will turn around. It's unfortunate this has happened, but things will turn around.

As a PSC volunteer and donor, I feel the need to stress that pulling your financial support is NOT the way to help turn things around. I'm not saying that any of you are planning on doing that... but just want to throw that out there.

Any booing at your team at a college game is not the "swift kick in the backside" that is needed. A sign that says "I have faith that you can solve this riddle" would probably be more productive. And frankly, you have gotten a pretty good return on investment, if you choose to think about it that way, particularly related to basketball.
