Game 8: Jackson State @ UNI

[BobCat]

Been a long time between games, looking forward to have some Panther hoops again. Article here from a few days ago, I will be curious to see who is fully healthy and if they've worked anything out in practices - https://www.thegazette.com/panther-b...re-up-defense/

They're 2-7, due to a tough schedule. Held the clowns to 47, Sunday.

They haven’t played a single home game yet. First is 12/29, then they play a D3, then into league play. We need to win this game.

They're at least crazy efficient at picking up their checks.

Ames on Sunday, Cedar Falls Tuesday, Des Moines Thursday.

College basketball would be greatly improved by dropping about 200 teams from DI.

I see they won at Illinois State a little less than 2 weeks ago. With our record we shouldn't be looking past anyone, but I hope the guys are taking this game seriously and not just looking at JSU's overall record.
I'm a big Coach Jake supporter and am always overly optimistic about men's basketball. I think (mostly just hoping at this point) the long layoff will be good for the team. Hopefully they come out with a renewed focus, especially defensively, and can get some shots to fall. If this team could get some confidence and play better on the defensive end we could hopefully put together a little run before resuming conference play in January.
I haven't made a predication all year, but I'll take UNI tomorrow night, 74-61.

Yeah according to Kenpom, they're not that much worse than Nichols. Hoping for a big win, won't be surprised if we only win by a bucket or two, and would only be mildly surprised if we lose.

They threw a lot of different looks at Iowa State. I have to say it was pretty amazing to see Iowa State held to 47 points and still win by double digits.

Do any of you know if I can watch this game on my TV if I have ESPN+?

It says the game is on ESPN3 which I don't think is under the ESPN+ package. I think you need a cable log-in to get this game. I could be wrong, I haven't had to deal with that for sometime, so I could be wrong.

AJ is at 1301 career points and is 4 points behind the other AJ for 11th all time and 28 points behind Kwadzo for 10th all time.

Will easily pass Sieverding (1402), Lemons (1478) and Coleman (1522) this year as well.

If he were to average 20 the rest of the way, he'd be 3rd all time passing McCoy (1713), Daisy (1721), Tuttle (1747) and Jacobson (1787).

Not enough games left this year to get to Kraayenbrink (2004) and Reese (2033).

I believe it's finals week. Playing now, is unconscionable. What if someone has an 8AM exam tomorrow. I'm sure JSU finished all of their's.

Finals were done really wonky this year. They started mid-week last week and I believe end today.

Yup. Last finals at UNI are today:

And it's not like SWAC/MEACs are real worried as they send their basketball teams on the road for two months at a time.

Students also don't return to campus for classes until Thursday January 20th. It's... very different now.
