Tied career high 24 points last night. Great game, and thanks for stepping up in a big way Brooks. It's going to take someone every night to step up big to run the table in the Valley the rest of the way, take the conference and head into March. Great game Panthers.

Brooks
Here's my take on the best thing about Brooks' performance last night ... as he was taken out and walked to the bench, he couldn't styop smiling. I swear his face was going to break into pieces from the wide grin. And, it didn't appear to be a cocky grin (like ... "hey, I deserved this.") I think he genuingly just plain felt good."Try being more of the solution, and less of the problem." -
i saw the smile after his 4th 3-pointer. at that moment "wow, am i back at wapsie...." might've went through his head....

I think he was thinking:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

Over the past few games it looked like Brooks might be heading for a breakout game. It seemed to me like he was a little more aggressive going to the basket recently. The guy deserves it.
If he can just get 8 - 10 points a game, think what it does for the offense. Try to shut down Coleman and Stout, you have three shooters on the outside.Comment

not speaking to anyone specifically, but I am predicting that a lot of people jump on the "Brooks Bandwagon." haha...

You're probably right. But so what? The kid has been struggling to figure out his role with this team and has been having a rough season. It was great to see him hit his shots, well every shot! It was good to see him smile and have a great game. If he can shoot like that I say move Jacobsen to the point more often. He's not hitting much!Originally posted by pantherfan4ever

I really enjoyed watching the game last night.....
"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Benny is still second in the conference in scoring (tied with Mathies). If Brooks can keep scoring like this, it sure won't hurt. Something that I think has been overlooked is his six assists to only one turnover. That's what you need from a point gaurd.Originally posted by Front Row PantherIf he can shoot like that I say move Jacobsen to the point more often.

I honestly don't think that Brooks has been struggling to figure out his role with this team this season. He has been a solid PG, and that is what Coach Mac has asked of him. Like it has been said in the papers, Brooksie couldn't care less if he scores 0 points or 24 points...if the team is winning, he couldn't be happier. Not to be negative, but I don't think it's a fair statement to say that Brooks has been struggling to figure out his role. One of the things that has impressed me with Coach Mac is his definition of what each player's role is on the team. Not only does he do this, but he gets the guys to buy into it. That is why this team has been successful.Originally posted by Front Row PantherThe Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Everyone on the team is playing his role. Brooks got hot lastnight and everyone else got him the ball. Thats why this is such a great team, because they know who is hot each game. They played a great game, Brooks had a hot hand. However Front Row Panther I think that if you had watched UNI for more than the home games this season you would know that this team is full of great shooters, Ben, John, Brooks, Grant, and Travis are all fantastic shooters.
And Ben is not having trouble hitting anything, genuis. He rarely gets an open shot, and usually gets the shot as the at the end of the shot clock or half/game. Those are tough shots, and he is known for making them, but still even Jordan failed more times than he succeeded in the last second shot.
Great game for Brooks I hope he keeps knocking down the big shots, it will make this team even more dangerous and help them make a real run for the MVC championship.
GO PANTHERS!!!

I was one that voiced frustration with his lack of offense early on. He needed and deserved a night like last night. I loved seeing him pull the trigger with confidence. Thank God, I think he's back! Keep it up!!Comment

I'm quite familiar with the team. You need to pull out of the "brotherly love" pattern once in a while and take a look. I don't blame you for being fully behind your brother. I would do the same. But...We should be allowed to voice an opinion about "basketball player Ben Jacobsen" without you taking it personally. What I said wasn't personal. It was my version of what I have seen the past couple of games.**Go ** Panthers** and Buckeyes**!!Comment

I agree with these comments whole heartedly. If you listened to Mac on the radio after the game, part of the game plan was for Brooks to get the shots he got. He stepped up and knocked them down. Other nights his role has very little to do with offensive output. Brooks has played many good if not great games this year where very little of what he has brought to the team has shown up in the box score. I agree with PTTB that a huge chunk of Coach Mac's success has to be attributed to getting the team to buy into his philosophy and the subtle changes in it from game to game. Because of this UNI has a chance against anyone in the country.Originally posted by Panthers to the Bone
It was nice to see Brooks "go off" again. It has been awhile and can only help boost his confidence when shots present themselves as part of the game plan. If he continues to provide everything he does for this team and score 8-10 points a game the rest of the year I'd say we can put conference champs behind the Panthers name at the end of the year....by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther. So you know it's good."
