Up Next: Loyola

[CyCarp]

We can't hit a wide open 3 late to save our lives... Haldeman and Pickford both miss 3s with nobody within 5 feet of em. Loyola hits a couple contested ones late. Sigh...

Collapse is right, Loyola closes on an 11-2 run. No senior leadership aside from Lohaus it seems.

This is the third consecutive January I was sure we'd be a Thursday team in March. Maybe I'll be right this year.

Wow ! Such a great start to the year but as said before MVC teams know how to play UNI, this season is going down the toilet and fast !

[MNpanthers]

Gag me, I don't care if Loyola is decent. We are playing teams that very clearly want it down the stretch way more than us.

[kochrab]

Wow. Bunch of garbage. So many winnable thrown down the crapper. Embarrassing.

[run&blade]

Brown’s box score line is an embarrassment for a starter. Carlson’s isn’t much better.

Sad thing is, the opposite looked to be true in the non conference.

How I feel watching us try to close out games:

Exactly. Good teams dont miss these open threes. They make you pay.

Our 3 point shooting has been poor almost every game in this 6 game skid.

Credit Koch for his play today.

He fought hard on both ends of the floor.

Aggressive going for blocks. And had a few assists.

[UNIGrainer]

We are really, really, really, really, really bad.

Please try something. Anything different. You don't have to worry about ruining anything. It cannot get any worse than this. The worst cased scenario is that nothing changes and we continue to be really bad.

Carlson is worse. Much worse. You know how players do "the things that don't show up in the stat sheet"? Carlson does that, but in a bad way. Early in the game, we were starting to establish an offense, get into a rhythm, what does he do? He jacks up an NBA three with 20 seconds in the shot clock left. Next possession? Same thing. Towards the end of the half, we established a decent six point lead with about two minutes to go, with him on the bench for a chunk of time. He comes back in, and next thing you know, it's down to a one point lead, thanks to a lapse in defense to give up the open three, then a sick bounce pass right into the gut of a Rambler, who then drives on him to the bucket.

We do well when Klint is off the court, I'd be curious to see his plus/minus over the losing streak. It's not good, I know that. I'm fine with Brown's 0/0/0/0/0/0/0. Because when I hear Brown check in, I don't instantly blurt out expletives like I do when Klint does. To borrow from another sport, I'll take Brown's WAR of 0.0 over Klint's WAR of -2.5.

3 players showed up for us today, Bennett, Tywhon, and Wyatt.


I really don’t know why Klint was in the game, we played so much better with him on the bench, I really don’t get it.

[LA_Panther]

I wonder why Phyfe didn't play. I'd like to see him and Friedman on the court a lot more (not necessarily at the same time).

Tywhon was amazing today (as usual). Without him, we would've lost by 15+ points.
