Game 29-Valpo (Purple out!)

[UNIGrainer]

I hope they're doing more to advertise the scooter, which will be given away at the Loyola game. A couple tweets may not be enough to get word around. Posters in dorms, signs on campus, email, etc

Its an award that has the potential to fill the student section up, college kids love scooters. I'll be pretty dissapointed if the student turnout isn't great cause it'll be an indication they did a poor job getting the word out

Its a cool thing, no doubt, but I think you may be overestimating how much a 1/1000ish chance to win a scooter ultimately moves the needle.

Is it enough to convince a ton of students who wouldn't have otherwise gone to the game to go? A 0.1% chance at winning a scooter?

Let's just win the next 8 games and then see who our opponent is after that.

Indeed. Just go on a run!

Dang. UNI social media peeps (I'm just on FB) are killing it this week. They've posted about winning free tickets to the last home game, a free UNI branded scooter for students at this weeks game, a video of Coach Jake asking people to show up and more all within the last 24 hours it feels like. Well done media people!

Nice to hear good things these days about the social media efforts.

Based on recent attendance, it would be more like 1/100 or 1/150 chance to win, and that’s if pep band counts. If enough showed up to make it 1/1000 that would be a huge success.

A thousand would be fantastic.

Gonna be hard to wait til 7 for this game.

Plain and simple, if we play how we did the last 3 games, we win this game no question. We are different team than when we met Valpo a month ago. I think we bring it:

UNI 65
Valpo 53

Light crowd. Terrible weather.

[CyCarp]

Good to see Pickford back

[MNpanthers]

Not in the area so I was pretty stunned at the crowd. If it's weather related that makes sense, otherwise a huge letdown

Alright, UNI with a couple of nice back door cuts, AJ looking pretty crisp with his outside shot. Dahl looks like he's giving some good minutes against their big man. So far, not too bad.

[MNpanthers]

Tremendous passing sequence there ending with a Haldeman 3

[CyCarp]

AJs step back is just so, so good.

[skydog0784]

Man is AJ good

[skydog0784]

I thought UNI played pretty well, especially on the defensive end. As another poster noted, impressed with the some really slick passing and back door cuts.

Green looked great; the dude can shoot, no doubt about that.

[MNpanthers]

Gotta slow down and execute or we are kissing this lead goodbye
