Up Next: Loyola

And then Carlson comes back in and ruins everything. Gosh dang. A six point lead became a 1 point lead after about 20 ticks

It's unreal how much of a non factor (that's being nice) he's been.

End of the first, 26-23 UNI leads. Really hope we see more of the 4 guard + Koch lineup, it was working strong for us. Wyatt and Spencer both had open threes which they drained. And then they had to back off Koch more and so he was able to get some easy lay ups.

At this point, I can only stand and watch in awe. A la Doc Rivers (https://media.giphy.com/media/HwmB7t7krGnao/giphy.gif).

I don't remember who said that Jacobson's biggest coaching weakness is loyalty to his seniors, but boy is that spot on, and shining through today. I'd honestly prefer to see literally anyone with a scholarship have more time than Klint. Luke, Tanner, whoever. It seems like Klint being out there actively harms the team.

Glad to see the 4 guard lineup today. Koch has been much more decisive with the ball and it has helped. Pickford has brought some much-needed energy today (8 pts, 7 boards). McCloud has yet to score but has 4 assists already. This all gives me some hope for the rest of the season.

Anyone know why Phyfe is not playing?

That's just it. Koch kicks out on the double team and Lohaus and Halderman are wide open and drain the 3. Now the defense has got to play Koch straight up and he's now in a position to be more effective. It's in Koch's best interest to kick the ball out on the double team because eventually it will benefit him - assuming UNI is hitting out open shots. Not sure why it's taken Koch this long to see it.

Here's to hoping the team gels and works the kinks out such as this example to run the table at Arch Madness. That's the good news, there is no clear favorite and UNI stands a reasonable chance of getting hot and doing some damage in the tourney.

ILL. St. Beat MO. St. This afternoon.

Loyola helping us out with several missed easy shots.

[CyCarp]

Wow, that last Loyola offensive board, wtf?

[sevelev711]

Klint Carlson is the WatchESPN of UNI.

[sevelev711]

Under 16 timeout, I have no idea what the score is, because WatchESPN doesn't like to stream for longer than 6 seconds at a time. I just assume it's a fairly close game in the low 30's/high 20's.

So Drake sits alone in first place. Seems legit.

[sevelev711]

So apparently, Bennett learn to pass out of the double team over the last two days. I appreciate it.

[CyCarp]

Tywhon getting murdered looking for a board, wow.

[sevelev711]

Under 8, tied at 41. I really hope Klint is benched for the rest of the half, and then also the rest of the season.

8 minutes to play and 4 Panthers have scored in the game.

Koch, Pick, Lohaus have 38 of 41 points.
