  • Game 24 - Drake

    Should be a great home game this Saturday! When's the last time we had a sellout crowd? 2015 season? Hopefully students show up as well and fill in all the other seats too. Can't take Drake lightly as they've shown flashes of being decent. Go Panthers!

    The building is going to be jumping. Drake's been awful on the road. Bad combo for the 'Dogs...

    UNI 87
    Drake 66

      Currently there are only 3 sections that have single tickets available (what would essentially be behind the benches on the east and west side) then the 2 mid court sections still have some seats together available. UNI announced less than 40 tickets left this afternoon. 22 are available on StubHub, students need to show up.

        I watched Liam Robbins put 29 on Bradley and I was amazed at his progression from last year. He was even hitting threes. I have to believe Phyfe/Dahl can neutralize him.

          They just tweeted out that there's only 15 tickets left. Pack the student section and make it a fun one.

            I wonder how many students they assume show up? Lately it has fairly full of adults.

            looking forward to it. I will get there early for for general admission location of choice.

            my guess is the outer rim will be packed with people standing and enjoying a beer.

            I hope they have ramped up staffing to collect as much concession revenue as possible.

              Great point. The lines can be obnoxious when there are 4K people there. I hope they are ready.
              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

                They have 800 tickets reserved for students. If we don't get at least 600 I will be really disappointed!

                    If we don't overlook Drake, can somewhat contain Robbins, and play our game this is one UNI should win by 15+. Drake is bad on the road, just 2-6 in true road games (won @ Air Force and @ Evansville).

                    If we're missing from 3, if Robbins has a career game or Phyfe and/or Dahl gets in foul trouble, or if Drake gets hot from 3 we might have a tight game on our hands.

                    I think the former over the latter is more likely to happen. I'll take UNI to win 83-68.

                      It feels so wrong to predict games in the 80's for this year. Can't remember a time where this was reality.

                        I will be attending my first game since moving back to Iowa. So anxious to run into Panther fans at a sold out McLeod. If you see me, and know who I am, come up and say hi. It's been WAY too long.

                          Drake is a good team but typically aren't very good on the road. Will be interesting to see how both teams react to a sold-out building. Go Cats.

                            I haven’t watched Drake much this year. What I remember from our games last year was a lot of motion from quick guards. (Especially after losing their big to injury). This will be a good opportunity to work on staying in front of your man on defense and rotating when necessary.

                            We did that well v Valpo and if we hadn’t had an off shooting night, that would have been a blow out.

                            Also need to work on dealing with the double team/trap on AJ.

                            go Panthers!

                              Hey all! Got a friend looking for two for today. I've reached out to '73 but if you know of any others out there, let me know!

                              Thanks!
