Game 11: Wyoming

[1994grad]

I know I have mentioned this several times, but Born (other than the last minute today) does not seem to have the green light to shoot. He gives up so many open looks that he would have drained in high school. I am mystified. It looks like he has been told not to shoot when the guy knows how to win. Let him shoot more please.

Psst...high percenterage shots work so much better.

I've said this about the program in the past that it seems like offensive aggression is coached out of players and a lot of guys regress offensively while at UNI.

Very disappointing and the inconsistency is frustrating. I did like the effort and fight to come back at the end - still love the energy of Carter, Ty and Henry. Heise has been solid (like last year) and good to see Phyfe back. It feels like something intangible is just missing, - yes, AJ's shooting is off and we do miss Brown's D, but at times they're just not getting to the spots where they need to be on the floor. I'm still hoping it comes together by the time conference play starts and will be looking forward to Saturday's game. (Thanks also for the 'ignore' instructions)

Cancel culture.

I love Ty and Cole, too, but their complete inability to be any sort of threat offensively is devastating. You can't even hope they draw a foul because at best they are getting 1 of 2. If a defense is playing similar to us, Henry becomes a non-factor at the top of the key. I love their energy defensively and on the boards (especially Tytan) but the offense struggles enough when the shooters are on the floor.

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

We beat number 1 and number 4 that year lol. We went 8-5 that year, not 5-7/4-8. Our ranked win this year isn't going to finish the year ranked, more than likely. That team is far better than what we got this year.

Right on cue, Hawaii lost...

You're right, but that team has an absolutely pitiful start to the conference season. If I remember right, Bohannon had a talk with Jake and they did some new things in offense, then everything seemed to click again.

Correct. Bohannon played a big part in righting that ship.

That team came back from Hawaii sick too. Like IVs at halftime sick.

Thank goodness they got that league game out of the middle of next week.

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.

It is so disgusting to hear play-by-play and analysts discussing NBA issues during the college game they are working. Instead of doing some homework on the teams they are actually watching, they go on and on about NBA players and teams. No one tunes in to these games to listen to them opine about the NBA!

Why was Coach Jake so mad at end of game? It looked like he was yelling at Wyoming coach???

[sevelev711]

Eh, something kinda fun. Watching Scott Van Pelt, Bad Beats, they're showing our game vs Wyoming, and both him and his sidekick say that we're the best 4-7 team in the country. It means nothing, of course, but it's nice to see that we still have our rep. They also mention "Sometimes the island reffing can be sketchy, luckily they're not playing Hawaii," so it's nice that other people acknowledge that.

Perhaps the UW coach told Jacobsen that he’s coming for his job since he assembled a better team than UNI in just a year and makes 3/4 million less per year?
