Game 8: Jackson State @ UNI

Finally nice to see us attacking the rim, although Jackson St is basically letting us

I would really like to see Nate work on getting a quick pass from another player with a player closing and him put up a shot quick. He will do it but if the defender is at a certain distance he doesn't have a quick enough release to get it off. I think Nate is going to be a all timer when he's done. Has such a good ability to shoot and he is able to drive and dunk/layup with contact.

I’ve looked around on Twitter and here and can’t find it. What is wrong with Phyfe?

I heard that he's had scarring of the lung tissue. Likely caused by the bioweapon jab which may have graphene hydroxide nanoparticles designed to act like mini razor blades. There have been literally hundreds of athletes overseas who have collapsed and/or dropped dead from this so-called vaccine.

he has a guy on the team who does it pretty damn well in Berhow. Berhow has really struggled this year but his ability to get a shot off quick with little space is impressive.

It sucks how every team for the rest of history will never let up when we have a big lead, no matter how much time we have left. Can't even be comfy with an eight point lead with 50 seconds to go.

Alrighty, sweet. Win #2. And since we won by the same margin, I think it's perfectly fair to say that we are exactly as good as Iowa State.

Betz will Take 3's but he doesn't Make 3's. He doesn't make anything else either. Or rebound well or play defense, or ....

Betz is shooting at 50% from the field ( 4 of 8) and 100% from the line (2 of 2). While his 3 pointers are only 20% he hasn't had the time to develop on the floor. He has only played a total of 23 minutes. Hard to make a blanket statement that he can't shoot when he has only had 5 shots from distance.

I wasn't able to see the game, but I saw the final score and wondered the same thing about the margin of victory. UNI's offense is 10 points better than Iowa State and defense is 10 points worse.

Oh, for the Big 4 Classic. It's such a shame that it was nixed by Eastern Iowa. Need a new one with UNI, Iowa State, Creighton, and Nebraska.

That makes a lot of sense and should be pretty competitive. Easy to point to together though regionally. It wouldn’t be the same as the Hyvee Classic though. It’s a shame they nixed that event. It always gave us a crack at a P5 on a neutral court in Iowa, where fans would travel. It was a really fun time.

Betz is not a true freshman, so we need not evaluate him solely on current season stats (small sample size).
According to UNIsports.com James is 1 for 5 from deep this season and shooting below 30% from 3 for his career. His minutes per game have decreased each season and at a time when we sorely need big man depth he still isn't seeing the floor.
I was hoping for big things from James when he entered the program (didn't even red shirt iirc) but it just hasn't happened. When he does enter the game he seems lost and doesn't provide anything on either end of the floor. I'm not surprised he's been dropped from the rotation.

Small sample size is the point. A judgement can't be made on 23 minutes. Now, that we lack a low post presence teams are going to cheat to the perimeter. I'm not saying he should start or play big minutes, but Carter is going to need some rest. We are not winning much this season. We could be 7th place, again. Phyfe would change the story, but he might not play, again. So, we need further development and better recruiting in the post.

I will have to admit, after watching Bowen play in high school, I am shocked that he is not set up to be in a scoring position more often. It appears that the offense is set up for him not to score. I don't get it. I realize that he isn't the tallest guy in the world, but there certainly are small guards who are scoring far more than him. This post is not being critical of Bowen, but his opportunities to score. Am I the only one who feels this way?

[BCPanther]

He missed most of the fall and is probably still feeling the effects when he shoots, it sure looks different right now.

He'll be a big contributor by the time it's all said and done.

Not so fast Mr. (mostly) ISU.. As I recall, Fran and Barta were the first to suggest dropping the Big 4, but Hoiberg and Pollard jumped on that bandwagon immediately. UI and ISU killed it together.

Yeah, they were a sub-par team. Can't glean much from this easy "win."
