Thanks for pointing that out GonzoCat. I guess at least I am not the only one that miss read it.

Ptl
I went to the 6:00 games on Monday, I'll put in my two cents on what I saw.
Coleman - I agree with an earlier assesment that he slimmed down and also added some muscle definition. He even stepped out and hit a 17-18 footer, which made me laugh a little. I still don't think I would count on those dropping consistently. He looked good and even a little quicker.
Koch - He impressed me quite a bit. Heck of an athlete, needs a little more muscle, but could definitly see some time. He looked a little timid out there, but still hit some nice jumpers. His shot isn't the prettiest shot but it finds the hole.
Dunham - Looked pretty decent out there, nothing too impressive, but he didn't get the ball too much either. He reminds me a lot of Benny J. He's got a good looking shot. Needs to bulk up quite a bit, but that will come with some time. His defense was like Benny's his freshman year too, nothing too great. But by his senioryear he was one of our most realiable defenders, so I'm not too worried about that. Not sure how much he'll contribute right away, but definitly will be a play maker in the fure.
Reed - He looked pretty good out there, he just couldn't get his shots to fall on Monday. He looked pretty confident out there. I think having him sit out a year will really make him a special player for the Panthers. Good athlete with a nice looking shot. Would like to see him play a little better D, but that could be said about anybody in this league.
Eglseder - He has improved every single time that I've seen him play (which is about 4-5 times). He played extremely well. Moved a little quicker than he has in the past too. He's one of those rare kids who fills into his big frame. Good balance, good hands, and pretty decent footwork. He'll see a lot of time this year behind Stout & Coleman. This gives us some much needed depth in the post. He has the ability to dominate a game (although that might not be the case for a few years). He is going to be a fun one to watch over the years. You never know how a 7' kid will do right away, but if he plays at all like he did Monday & Wednesday then we'll be in for a treat.
Haak - Didn't do too much. He still is at least a year or two from getting some minutes. He's smart and plays hard all the time, so regardless if he makes a difference in a game, he'll be a great asset on the court in practice.
Didn't see any other UNI guys play. I did see the other guys warm up, but I hard to take off before tip off.
On a side note, Iowa has some good talent in there class as well. The different between are young guys and theirs are that their guys will have to play early, our guys might, but we also have some good talent coming back. They definitly added some athleticism to their team. But I'd still take our guys over theirs.
I also saw Adam Viet there as well (watching), any word on why he isn't playing in the PTL?Comment

I think due to injury.

The only thing I've read last night is that Jared Josten played very well battling against Iowa's Tony Freeman.Comment

My guess is that he won't be given a green light during UNI games given those numbers.
At least not yet... 
If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

I went last night, Jordan butted heads with Brunner literally, Got an elbow to the eye, They were down by 16 pts just after the half and came back to beat them by 5. Jordan missed alot of bunnies but ended with 19 pts and 14 boards. Adam Koch played well again. Only stayed for that game. Pretty cool after the game Brunner gave Jordan a lesson in elbows. Told him he needed to get tougher inside, and gave him a few pointers. He's always been our gentle giant. Now playing with the big dogs he needs to get mean...We'll see how he does Weds.Originally posted by SMK4UNIComment

Learning from Brunner is awesome. I'm glad he is willing to help out. Brunner seems like a class act and having Jordan learn a thing or two from him would be great.Comment

Brunner has always been a class guy. Something like that is par for the course for him.

Who did Big E put up the triple-double against in his second game? Those are truly impressive numbers for a big man!BMPantherComment

Brunner has always been class act, and he is a very knowledgable player at that, glad to hear hes trying to help out the bigs from all over the state.
Side Note
I felt so bad for Brunner at the dome last year, when he got the Rogain chant, funny one, but still felt bad, cause he is such a nice guy. GO PANTHERS!!!Comment

A great article from Matt Coss and the WCF Courier on the PTL. I hope these articles keep coming this summer.
