Game 16 - Salukidogs

So it was a nice easy win, I see, just like the last few ones.

Those 2 were...hard to listen to, to say the least

They were bad. Thank goodness we won that one.

As for the clock thing - the TV clock is literally never official in any capacity. Seeing a clip on twitter from an ESPN+ broadcast is the smallest amount of evidence you can have.

That SIU broadcast last night was less than stellar

By far? Recency bias. Objectively, @MSU and @StBonnies were far better from a computer standpoint. And the latter was vs a then-ranked team on the road in a crowded gym making lots of noise. Subjectively I get what you’re saying. It felt big. But those wins contribute to making this one feel even bigger.

St Bonaventure does nothing as far as MVC standings go.
ISUb being a loss might have ended any momentum we had but ISUb isn't a top 4 team fighting for seeding positions with us.
MSU come close

SIU was tied for second with us, had just lost to MSU - who already had 2 conference losses to SIU's 1. Beating SIU put both SIU and MSU a game back with the early tie break on them because of the H2H. Losing to SIU would have put UNI a game back of SIU and behind them in the early tie break scenarios. UNI also hasn't won in Carbondale in about 7 years, so going in there and getting the W is big, put on top it gave UNI second place and kept the team just 1 game back of Loyola with both games against them yet to come was massive.

Steady recovery from the disastrous start.

I really liked our effort from the start. At times, the foul calling was confusing but we rolled with it. Our defense played well and has continued to improve. Our switching worked well I thought. I love seeing the ball in Bowen’s hands. He is very unselfish and is always looking for the open man.

Anyone know what is up with Betz? He hasn’t seen the floor for a while.

Nothing up just buried. Carter's growth has eaten up all his minutes and all of Henry's as well as long as Austin can play 8-12.

I just watched a clip on Twitter and the clock definitely started before he touched it. He did it within the .8 IMO.

I rewatched it too and the buzzer was clearly after the shot was in the air. I will always trust the arena over the broadcast

For me the ISUB game was the biggest win of the season. I understand ppl saying St. B or MSU but in the moment ISUB just felt different. We played a really poor game and somehow found a way to pull it out. Games like that just mean so much from a momentum perspective. Of course if we’re looking at it from an at large perspective ISUB isn’t it. But, as we all know, the at large isn’t happening. Last night was a game where if we ended up losing I could wrap my head around it. Of course I wouldn’t be happy but both teams played a good hard game.

Best win of the season, BY FAR.

That was an old fashioned grind it out road W. Keep it rolling.

We got healthy and, boom, we are the team we thought we we're going to be.

Just keep stacking Ws starting in the middle school gym on Wednesday.

It’s great that we shot 6-22(27%) from 3 and still found a way to win.

[not a drake fan]

This team is 4-2 on the road. That's a really good accomplishment. Especially considering that those road opponents were: Arkansas, Bonaventure, Marshall, Bradley, Missouri State, Southern Illinois. Past UNI teams struggled so much on the road. Past UNI teams would have been lucky to pick to 2 wins in that stretch.

Yea, that clock was messed up all night. Rewatching it, that clock was at 0 before he even touched the ball.
