Game 11: Wyoming

[Mill1634]

Right, the officials were bad, but postgame seemed to be between the coaching staff.

1-Felt like the officials let Wyoming be much more physical than us.

2-That might have been the most biased ESPN broadcast I’ve ever seen. Were those Wyoming’s home announcers?

3-This is easily the most disappointing UNI basketball season of the Jacobson era. We were talking about being a top 25 team and we are 4-7. What a bummer.

[UNIGrainer]

TY. I'm late to the party, but I was just trying to figure out how to block A Fan In Lean Years.

S/he is dumbest person in the room and has absolutely no clue. The Dunning-Kruger effect poster boy. Spams every thread with complete nonsense that can easily be disproven but most have him blocked and the rest are too tired to care.

Put it on ignore and let it shout into the abyss all it wants.

This team was supposed to be deep enough to withstand some injuries but when Born and Henry were out to start the year we lost. When Phyfe was out we lost, and now with Berhow out we're losing. We just cannot get any momentum going.

I guess the hope becomes that it clicks in January and you try to replicate 15-16.

The same duo was more biased against us yesterday.

Didn’t see yesterday but thats not surprising.

[BCPanther]

They're really bad.

We've been to this tournament twice and nothing good has happened. Need to cross this one off the list.

I’m going to Tweet UNI’s game notes at them tomorrow so maybe they can familiarize themselves with our team for Saturday.

[Khan4Cats]

If we're worried about officiating, we better hope that we face USF on Saturday. No way we get any calls if the host school is fighting to avoid being swept.

Miss 9 FT's in a 2-point game, 17 TO's, reacting to the dumb-ass chirping from the opposing bench to earn a cheap T-have to fix those things which is on the players.

As a side, we have only played with our full roster available for 3.5 games: Arkansas, St. Bonnie, Bradley, Marshall.

Wyoming is not very good (lots of wins against terrible teams) and we just flat out stink. Green isn’t the same player he was before the surgery. Not even close. Jacobsen’s offense has been give it to AJ. That won’t work anymore and we haven’t recruited another solid player in years.

It’s hard to believe we pay Jacobsen a million a year to put that on the court. He needs to recruit beyond cedar falls high. Right now we’re a weak D2 team.

Jacobsen has rode that Kansas a long way. But campus is now strapped for cash and sucking that much out of it and putting out a poor quality program is not good.

What an eerily similar game to yesterday. The offense has been really bad both days. The only thing that looked mildly effective was giving it to Phyfe down low. I guess that's one positive. Phyfe played a lot tonight, so maybe he is starting to feel better. But man, other than that this offense has been painfully ineffective again. We can barely find an open look right now. And that was another poor defensive effort until the last 4-5 minutes again. They had an amazing amount of open looks from 3. Even if a team isn't relatively good at shooting the 3, you can't just give open looks consistently and not eventually get bit.

Give me Bowen Born driving to the hoop at the end rather than a 3 point heave any day, though. That was a horrible no call as Bowen's arm was completely raked going up. The ref was right there watching it, too. He just didn't want to make a call at the end of the game. Obviously no Green or Heise in OT would've been exceptionally challenging, but they should have been afforded the chance.

I love the fight of this team, but it would be nice to see it outside of the last few minutes.

I didn't watch, listen, or look at my phone, today. I was so pissed off after the Liberty game I decided to unplug. Judging by the score, box score, and discussion that was the correct decision. I would agree with the comments about the future of the program. We're going to be a 17-20 win team in a season and between 4th and 6th place in the MVC with no post season appearances for the foreseeable future. I don't believe a bid should be accepted short of the NIT. Honestly, I don't even know if the CIT or whatever exist anymore. And I don't care. We have fallen behind in recruiting, facilities, and leadership. I don't know when we'll catchup, again. We have new schools like Belmont and Murray State on the horizon. That's even more losing. It's hard to swallow, but I don't see anything better anytime, soon. It's just average hard to watch basketball for a long time.

[A Fan In Lean Years]

I blame Harris and Farley.

Because, yes, as we know, it's the ternmatent, NOT the preparation for it.
