    UNI vs. Evansville TONIGHT 7PM McLeod Center

    This game scares me a little bit. There are one of two ways to look at it.

    1. UNI matches up with them well, b/c they play a 3 guard/2 post system. They aren't as athletic as previous teams, and so Stout/Coleman should see more single coverage instead of double coverage.

    or

    2. UNI and Evansville are so similar that UNI will have a hard time at taking advantage of the inside game, and will have less opportunities to score on a similarly disciplined team.

    Evansville has potentially the biggest matchup problems in the post as anyone in the league. 6'8" Matt Webster will no doubtedly be matched up on Grant Stout. Webster is a magician at getting to the foul line, so keeping Stout out of foul problems will be difficult. 6'9" Bradley Strickland has always had some of his best games against UNI. His long arms aren't as strong as Coleman, but similar, if not more so, in length. He's a shot blocker with a great baby jump hook. On the outside they have guards that can stroke it. UNI will not be able to double down, hedge as stringent, and help off b/c of the gun-'slingers' in Anslinger and Holsinger. Also, PJ Cousinard's brother is an intrical part of the Evansville rotation.

    Last year, Evansville, behind their hot shooting, got UNI down by double digits in the first half, before UNI made a phenomenal run to win the game. Evansville is a year older and wiser, and you can bet they won't fold as easily as they did last year. Also, the guy who got the threes to fall for UNI last year is no longer with the team (Michael Williams). Thank goodness for Michael that game! Well worth the scholarship, if just for that game, b/c with a home loss to Evansville, UNI wouldn't have been dancing!

    Evansville is 2nd in the league in FT% (UNI is 9th)
    Evansville is 3rd in the league in FG% Defense (UNI is 1st)
    Evansville is 3rd in the league in 3 point FG% (UNI is 5th)
    Evansville has been outrebounded by 2.7 per game, while UNI outrebounds opponents by 6.6
    Evansville is averaging 3 blocks/game, while UNI is at 3.5
    Evansville averages 6.6 3's per game (UNI averages 6.8)

    Matt Webster leads the league in scoring at 18.9 per game and averages 75% from the FT line.
    Bradley Strickland averages 5.9 RPG and is 2nd in the MVC with 2 blocks/game
    Bradley Strickland averages 55% from the field
    Jason Holsinger is 3rd in the MVC in assists per game
    Kyle Anslinger is 1st in the MVC in FT% at 94% and is 8th in 3FG% at 44%

    Anyway, should be another barn burner tonight. The Panthers vs. the Purple Aces. Get Loud in the McLeod!
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Evansville can play lights out or the can really show up and leave a dud. It seems they save their best nights for when they play the Panthers. All of their talent is good and now they're all seniors. They are 2-1 in the league already and probably thinking if they could steal one on the road tonight, they'd be in a good position early in the conference season. So...to echo PTTB, this game scares me.

      We need a BIG loud Crowd in the Mac tonight. I hope that there are a bunch of students that live off campus that are back in town tonight...

              Yes, you need to pay for the CSTV service now.

              Does anyone pay for this, and has the "video" service gotten any better?

                Here is the evansville site. It's not as good as listening to our guys call the game, but the price is right

                  As an out of state UNI fan, I subscribe to the video service. It's far better than nothing and I'm glad they have it, but I'm not crazy about their camera angles. If they just kept a side view, it would be fine, but they like to shoot from under the basket for most of the game. I know they do it to get good highlights of dunks and etc, but you can't see much of the game from that view.

                    Clear, crisp, fast, but the constant replay makes me want to eat my own face.

                      At this point I basically justify paying it for Gary. The video offers essentially 50-75% of the game because they show a replay after absolutely every UNI score. The replay itself wouldnt be TOO bad but before and after it you get an advertisement and the second one takes about 3 x's as long as the actual replay itself. Then, to make it even worse they often then go to an image of the player who made the play. That lasts FOREVER.

                      In the time I have written this I missed two UE threes, a bucket by UNI and the "T" on the coach due to these fricking replays.

                      I'm sure the feed we are getting is the identical thing to what's on the scoreboard in the Mac. Fine for the people at the game b/c they can look down on the floor but terrible for us.

                      Two questions --
                      1. Would it be that hard to change this for the online viewers?
                      2. Are the advertisers that pay for scoreboard ads paying for online views as well? Because, frankly, I'm guessing they are getting "free" publicity with the online payments. Sure, it may be a minimal audience, but its a VERY targetted one.

                      All in all, I'm very unimpressed with the system as it is. I wish I could pay for audio and not video as I would dump the ladder in a heartbeat.

                      Oh... a 3rd question...
                      3. Who can I email to complain about this? I might as well make this a productive rant.

                        T-Brown just hit a great shot and then the feed went away for 21 seconds. No, that is not a typo. 21 seconds. This is just f-ing preposterous. I'm sure people see these posts each game and think, "why cant these guys get over it?" But when you can only make it to 1 or 2 UNI events a year, you live and die for this crap. And to pay for something that isn't close to what they say it will be, its frustrating.

                        On one hand, I'd love to just get rid of it but A) who am I "sticking it" to? and B) I'm a Panther-a-holic... its just not an option to go without UNI athletics!!

                          CSTV is only good in a blowout game! If it's close you can lose your mind waiting on the replays...I know this has all been discussed before, but isn't there anything we can do to improve this? I did pay the money!!!

                            How do you really feel??? If you could express your concerns more clearly, I'm sure it will be fixed by the next game.

                            I watched one of the games early in the season and it was just as bad as you're saying. If people started saying they fixed it, I might pay for it, until then I'll listen to the other team's announcers.
