I Hope Mcdermott Goes

[re17282]

ahead and gives these guys a couple of days off from basketball before the MVC tournament. The guys look tired and uninspired right now. They will need the extra rest to get ready for the NCAAS after winning the MVC in ST louis. On another note do any of you think that if the guys on this team ever get a job where they have a deadline they will just screw around until they have a couple of minutes left to get it done and then call Benny J and have him do it for him. It is uncanny how he gets the ball with no time on the shot clock every time

They already had last wednesday and thursday off.

You are right on the mental-------- I just think the guys are tired and that adds to the mental mistakes. The last 14 seconds against SIU were very badly played from this experienced a ballclub. If you have no TO's or are not gonna call one whoever gets the ball needs to push it up as fast as they can and take it to the rim, but then again it all looks easy from where I watch the games. Anyway the Panthers will do what they need to do in St Louis and this will all be mute when they get into the sweet sixteen.

My wife said it all tonight, "We suck, I am tired of watching us lose on TV. I hope we get smoked in the first round so that it will be over."

I would agree. These guys have lost it. It was a great run.

Now there's the 'can do' attitude I like to see!!!

J/K Front Row - My wife is also ready for the nervous pacing, short-temper, and yelling to end.

Wow...if there ever was a case for banning for reasons of desertion. You sir will be more than welcome over on the Hawkeye board. See ya.

You are right. We're 22-8. Pack it in. I can't believe we've sunk all the way back to "only" our third straight 20 win season. You must be reliving our glory days, right? All those 5 win seasons?

How can you guys be giving up on the Panthers? They are no way out of this year's race, and are still probably going to the NCAA tourney. Even though the last how many games haven't been good, we still have to stick by them. There's no reason to just give up on them, this is when they need us most. This has been one of the most successful seasons in UNI basketball history, so don't take that away from them. It's getting to be the best part of the season, and this should be the time when everyone is most proud to wear purple and gold.

"You've got to want to win, and we want it more!"

I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to the group of players and coaches who have done more for our basketball program than any group has in the past. And that is a LONG past.


Wow.

If Front Row wants to jump off the bus, let him go. "Front Row" is an accurate name, in that case. There are more like him, just not on this board. Screw em, let em go. They weren't really interested to begin with, so they shouldn't concern us now.

There are plenty of us who really do care about this team to keep supporting them.

I saw Mac gives the boys sun, mon to rest up and watch film. The non tues just hit it hard tues and wed and easy on thurs and fri. I like our draw, if we get back Mo. State in the first round, we have So. Ill and we can beat them, we are due to beat them. Then in the finals i am looking at Bradley and i hope the seniors want to Piss pound them so bad. But first its Mo. state we are better them by far and i feel we will give them pay back for what they did to us last year.

[Bojingles]

Just relax for a minute or two.....We are setting everybody up. We got them JUST where we want them. Looking past us.

Hardworking-overachieving kids wear down over a grueling 30 game schedule. Our December schedule is both a blessing and a curse at this time. Our hope is that we can continue to play excellent defense. Offensively, we need to go back to Eldon Miller's philosophy "closer is better and open is the best" and after that, "you knock the snot out of your opponent to get the rebound."

The three game MVC tourney will be a matter of attitude. If we put a "chip on our shoulder" and knock some people around at the offensive end for some rebounds we'll be ok. It's tough for us to get off an open shot at this time but rebounding is entirely attitude. Everyone is now 0-0. (Wow! How many cliches is that?)

[Ozzie Guillen]

I like that philosophy northwest we need to get the ball down to the big men, who have shown time in and time out what they can do down their. That way it free's up our guys from the outside to knock it down especially with the trouble they have had creating their own shots off the dribble.

[heartofpurple]

fan no matter what happens you support them. thats sports! in reply to front row panther.
