UNI vs Drake

[Wxcpanther]

Defense looked good. Heise did a phenomenal job in Penn, who is as tough of a player to guard in the conference. Just need to get shots to fall in the second half and we are going to have a chance.

[UNI Ka-Bullseye]

3s were open just missed them all. Every time Drake looks at the hoop when in the lane they get a foul call, while we apparently are rebounding with one arm because we like to show off, not because our other arm is being held. Cant secure a rebound without Phyfe in in the game.

[CyCarp]

We're getting killed on the boards and Drake got hot from 3. We have to hit shots and rebound to have any chance in the 2nd half.

[sevelev711]

Not the ideal defensive start.

[sevelev711]

There we go. Regardless of the outcome of this game, I'm more hopeful of a MVC Tourney run after these last few games. Don't get me wrong, my hope has gone from 0% to about 3%, but they're actually looking like a real team that's gelling together, which they seldom looked like this year.

[MNpanthers]

Anddd we blow a promising run on bad turnovers

[sevelev711]

Man, just these little lapses are killing us today, more so than any game this year.

[UNI Ka-Bullseye]

Wow, Henry fouled clear as day while trying to lay it in then Berhow takes a forearm to the chest while completely stationary and no call on that either.

Man, just these little lapses are killing us today, more so than any game this year.

As do the little lapses becoming long lapses. Stringing together 40 good minutes has been impossible this year, stringing together even 30 minutes has been a challenge.

This crew is horrendous, if Drake makes the NCAA tournament, which they’ll have to win in St. Louis they’ll have a quick exit

[sevelev711]

Wow, Henry fouled clear as day while trying to lay it in then Berhow takes a forearm to the chest while completely stationary and no call on that either.

I mean we can't complain about the refs, The Valley has a decent chance at getting multiple bids this year, and they're going to ref accordingly. If Drake wasn't getting preferential treatment, I'd be incredibly mad. I'd be furious at the conference, wondering what the hell they're even doing.

[sevelev711]

Man, Born is just too good a shooter to not take more shots.

[MNpanthers]

How in hell is that not a shooting foul for Born?

[UNI Ka-Bullseye]

Yesufu backup PG has to have a career high. Can get a layup whenever he wants.

[sevelev711]

Yeah, if you think refs cost us this game, ya gotta take off the purple-tinted glasses. Multiple 5 minute stretches of shoddy defense were what did it, not to mention killing our own momentum by having three turnovers in a row in the midst of an 11-2 run.
