Tough foul on Carlson there

Yo Pantherlope, can you start **** talking the point guards now? As soon as you started **** talking our bigs, Koch/Luke go off for like 40 combined.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

I would like to see some better in-bounds plays after a made basket against the press. It seems like we are always looking to pass right into the coffin corner.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Nice to see us hold off the second half run by Evansville. And glad to see a game with our big men holding strong and staying on the court when we needed them.

And now I can switch from ESPN3 with their same 3 commercials all night.

You're not going to see lope or mudra on here, we won.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

So firstly, yay, we won. Morgan didn't even have to carry the team offensively, but he did put up 5 steals. Koch has been playing possessed these last few games, 17 points in 23 minutes, and McDonnell came in and replaced him and put up 14 in 17. So I think platooning those two is going to be super nice. I'll be honest, I liked what I saw out of McCloud tonight. Yes, he didn't score, but the offense just ran so much smoother with him out there. Two assists in 13 minutes isn't that bad, and when Haldeman was shooting lights out from three I wasn't minding it, but he hasn't been nearly as consistent recently.

The offense flows much better when we've got a slasher on the floor, and Haldeman is a shooter. I'm not saying that McCloud should be out there all of the time, but I'd like to see a split similar to Koch/Luke had tonight, around sixty-forty with a little more Haldeman than McCloud.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

For the first time all season, we can say that if the season ended today we would not be playing on Drake Night!

This is vintage UNI defense-first, everybody-else-calls-it-boring-but-we-love-it basketball.

Drake is 4-0 at home and is in 3rd place. Would be a huge W if we could get it.

Luke is going to be real good

Re: Up Next: Evansville

I was with you. Really interesting you don't have to be the tallest guy to rebound and apparently you can be built like a high school Sophomore and compete.

McDonnel has played well. He'll be that much better once he puts on some beef. He definitely seems to have a feel for how to get open for dishes and lay ups.

Reminds me of a certain ninja tuttle dude. Anyone else see it?

I know this is factual, but it feels like I'm in bizarro world reading it.

They lost to Jackson State and were tied with Simpson with 3 minutes left. They were 350 of 351 in the RPI entering league play.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Koch getting mobbed with double-teams and triple-teams in the 2nd half, leading to couple misses. Crazy how aggressive they're allowing Aces on D but any contact Koch makes is immediately whistled. Lots of pushing and shoving by the Aces on their screens and set plays...whats up with that?

Agreed. Bennett's 2nd foul that sat him down for the rest of the half was bogus. (HUGE lift from McDonnell so I guess it worked out OK). His 3rd foul early in the 2nd half was phantom. One particular possession he was getting pinballed around underneath by 3 guys and got nothing. He's got to lead the MVC in getting hit in the face. It's nice when he gets some calls because he's been shooting FT so well lately.

Nice to see a wire to wire (mostly) dominant performance tonight.

Lunch pail style!
