    UNI Will Lose When....

    "The Panthers rely too heavily on Jacobson. Coleman and Stout are solid options, but in key situations UNI tends to put the ball in their top scorer's hands and do little more than set a few screens."

    This was posted on the UNI homepage on espn.com. have they not watched UNI play this year? Jacobson 14pts, Stout 12pts, Coleman 11pts, and Crawford 10pts..... We do not rely only on Jacobson. We did last year a lot more than we do this year. he is still our best player, but we get scoring from many more places this season.... and all we do is set a few screens? UNI is one of the best teams in the country at executing plays.... Yet another example of the "experts" not doing their research.

    Give me 10 points by Brooks, and the entire game changes. Panthers win!

      IN MY OPINION we do rely too much on Ben, when the game is on the line, they know who is going to get the ball, if Ben is hitting buzzer beaters with two hands in his face off balance then keep letting them triple team him and keep letting him get the ball, if he is not making the buzzer beaters (he is about 0-5 this year) then we need to get the ball to someone else, someone that does not have two hands in his face and can set to take a shot. I think that is were they are coming from.

        it is a masterful job of conditioning.
        if we end up in a tight game in the Big Dance, all the defenders will flock to Benny at the end, since we've gone to him in those situations all the time this year. That sets up an open Crawford for the game winning 3. KABOOM!
        They didn't do that in the MVC tourney against SIU 'cuz they wanted to save it for the NCAA.

        (or after Benny draws the defenders, he can lob it into Stout or Coleman for the dunk/easy layup)

        strategy...

          I agree, IN MY OPINION. I heard JJ Redick say this weekend that he wants the ball in a situation when the game is on the line. I believe, IN MY OPINION, that Redick has the balls to make that statement. I have never heard Mr Jacobson make that comment, although he may feel that way. Ben needs to accept the decoy roll and PASS the ball. This is all, JUST MY OPINION. NOT PERSONAL.

            I guess I don't take it so harshly, it is their scouting report after all.

            First, I don't expect espn to have a much more in depth analysis. We DO play in a small market and have limited National TV coverage, so if that's the depth of their 1-sentence analysis, so be it.

            Second, I tend to agree. Their full Scouting Report provides... UNI will lose when, Secret Strength, Achilles' Heel, etc. They are right, when the Panthers are not playing well (UNI will lose when) they are usually relying too much on Ben and only going through the motions on screens, etc. The scouting report is saying, if Panthers do NOT play like this, we'll have opportunity to win.

            It's not a criticism, just pointing out the game scenario that could cause UNI to lose.

            Here's their Hoya take:
            Will Lose When ... Jeff Green gets bottled up. Take his sterling passing skills out of the offense, and the Hoyas suddenly get out of synch.

              Did we go to Ben all the time this year to win the game? I seem to remember Grant Stout hitting a pretty HUGE 3 at the end of the SIU game in the Dome.

                Not offeneded, just wanted point out your continued lack of correctness, i.e. Ben has never made such a statement, and yes he has. It was in the WCF Courier earlier this year, and Coach Mac has said repeatedly that Ben is the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line. Ben always wants the ball, thats why he gets it.

                  I can backup ejac's statement. It was in the Courier earlier this year.
                  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.

                    I've been away from the board for about a week and a half but if I recall correctly didn't you and your wife quit on this team after the Bradley game? It's doubtful that many around here care too much for your OPINIONS at the moment.

                    If you haven't heard Benny make comments like that then you simply haven't been listening.

                        But I'm back now

                        You'll get no war of words with me, but I was shocked to see you still had interest following your previous comments.

                            But....he started it.

                            I'll just second that I take issue with the posters "lack of correctness" as ejac so eloquently put it and leave it at that.


                            ......................unless he starts talking about Brooks
