Why was Bowen not even in the game at the end of regulation?? I just do not understand. This one was just incredibly frustrating.

"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

One more thing regarding the offensive strategy the last part of the 2nd half...This is the kind of stuff that loses a team.
I'm not saying Jake has lost the team, but this strategy definitely shows a lack of trust in your own players. Not allowing your guys to go win the game is a huge problem. Don't be surprised if guys like Noah put their names back in the portal after this year. Players want to be believed in to go win a game. It's just bizarre that this team plays really well when we are behind later in games and so poorly when we are ahead.
These are and will be my most outrageous takes, but I do think it's a problem.

This is false, it’s far more on us, but they were allowed to far more physical then we were, and that’s what allowed them to get back in the game.

I don't know. The only real problem I had with the officiating was their quick whistle when Drake was backing to the basket against us. It didn't seem to matter who it was; they were eventually going to call a hand check, block, etc. on us. I just didn't agree with that. But otherwise, we didn't even give the officials a chance to even it out later in the game. They aren't going to call anything when we just dribble it around 5 feet outside of the 3 point line. They had a good strategy of doubling our ball handler out top and we didn't find the open guy.

Wins don't feel victorious anymore, they're just a relief. And losses are expected, but still just as painful. I don't look forward to UNI Athletics, I dread it. When football and basketball were getting me down, I could at least rely on volleyball or wrestling, but those suck too, now. Being a Panther fan is like being a crack addict, but with only the lows. Haven't had a high in years.

Need a new AD and a house cleaning of coaches. Likely save some money because several UNI coaches are way overpaid vs results.
Jake went from an up and coming coach to a stubborn fool quicker than anybody in the history of coaching.
coach Green got off the sinking shipLast edited by run&blade; 01-22-2022, 08:53 PM.

For as big as the crowd was tonight, the place was far from electric.
Random thought, but in years past, the fight song was played several times throughout a game. There were multiple times tonight coming off of timeouts that would have given the crowd a chance to get back on their feet and into the game.
What a promising majority of the game for it to end the way it did.

We'd owe Farley north of $2M and Jake $8.5M.#MACtion

football and basketball will need to win and win a lot to get anybody to care going forward.

Both Jacobson and Farley had their contracts extended in ‘21, Harris’ was extended in ‘19. Harris’ ends in ‘25, Farley after the ‘26 season and Jacobson after the ‘28-‘29 season.
harris might be able to market himself as a guy that can turn a D1 program into DII.
attendance is going to be awful going forward for the next half decade. It’s almost a given.
