*Game 5, ODU*

[MNpanthers]

This team is allergic to building a lead. So many opportunities to open this game up already

Sounds like everyone wants to shoot threes, much to Coach's shagrin.

14-12 UNI at the under 8. Yes, 6 points scored in total in those last four minutes. Yes, it's as ugly as it sounds.

Phyfe has popped a 3 ball this game and last game. Please no more.

Biggie!!!!!!

[sevelev711]

Biggie playing his best ball all year so far, 5 points, one layup and one three. AJ picked ups a second foul and will probably sit for the half. Phyfe also with a second.

[sevelev711]

Panthers have a smidgen of a lead now, 21-16 at the under 4. Panthers were holding a steady 7 point lead for quite a bit but got sloppy the last few possessions.

[BCPanther]

Just don't give up a big run here and go in with a little lead or tied. Just have to get through until you get Austin and AJ back

[sevelev711]

Poor shooting from ODU helping us out, refs are not. The refs for this whole tournament have been overall pretty terrible, honestly. Not just to us, but for all.

[sevelev711]

Jacobson with the timeout, UNI leads 24-21, lots of poor offense from UNI over the last few minutes.

[sevelev711]

Halftime, UNI leads 26-21 at the half. Pretty nice considering AJ and Phyfe combined for 14 minutes. 6/13 on threes from 6 different players: Brown, Green, Haldenman, Pickford, McDonell, and Biggie. Don't stop now, boys.

[kochrab]

That was as pretty sequence at the end. 26-21 UNI at half.

Odd rotations IMO in the first half of this game. Not sure if he is trying to do something different because we play them again soon or if he just felt a couple guys were playing better. The O looked kinda poor in the first half but we played good D.

[sevelev711]

Also, the defense holding a team to only 21? It's like the good old days. Still gave up 6 offensive boards, which is a lot, but luckily ODU hasn't been able to capitalize.

Foul trouble from AJ and Phyfe. Plus, it is the 3rd game in 4 days. Was nice to see Miles get a couple minutes in there. I like the energy he brings in short stretches.
