Game 23 - Feb 2 - Bradley

[Username]

This is fun. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this much passion, effort, and emotion. Maybe since 21-22

That was a fun one! Go Panthers!

Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon in early February! I haven't been able to see the Panthers too much this season, being out in Colorado. Was that our most complete game of the season?

Regardless of score easily our best win of the season.

Though there may be a bit of a damper knowing Bradley is struggling pretty heavily the past couple games.

Defensive effort was great and offense was very efficient. decent crowd that was into the game. Fun to see Pock look better today. Cael and Max had great games today. Tytan was Tytan. This team can be so fun to watch and then some nights looks so bad.

our defensive effort reminded me more of some of our prior teams. lets hope that attitude and effort continues for the rest of the season.

[English77]

Mmmm, yes. Yes it was. Very enjoyable on all fronts. We were the aggressor. Do we have more games in us like this? That’s the question.

Easily the best game of the season. The guys we really need to step up did so today, Max, Pock, Cael. Defense was very good too, great energy and focus.

I think someone said he himself didn’t want to play beyond this year, but damn I would like to find a way to get Cael another year.

[CyCarp]

Cael really makes RJs injury not hurt nearly as bad. Good game, I don't want to be negative, but we NEED to find consistency.

Wow. I did not expect to win like we did. That was a full-on beat down. Tytan is just such a beast. He took the game over in the first half.

Bring the pink! (Where did this team come from? Down two starters?)

We were awake from the start. Missed some two-foot shots & made some outlandish ones at the rim too. Our two portal guards looked like the seasoned players that they are - and shot better than Trey. Born still looks like a freshman on defense & offense (you should know that they are going to block your layup from behind. Run the clock out when the coach tells you to. They picked on his defense too.)

We can play with a team that doesn't shoot too many threes (until the end - when they cut our 30-point lead in half).

When I saw that Eldon Miller was in the house, I hoped that his grandson would be able to get in the game - and that it would be because we were way AHEAD, not behind.

What is wrong with Bradley? They did not have a good game.

[CletusCat]

Probably the best game of the year from us! Great effort defensively!

Underrated thing that I happened to catch was the flagrant foul on Max. He got hit and it took him 3 full seconds to react. He even turned to the kids court side and gave them a wink. As soon as he went to the line I turned to my wife and said he's missing this free throw and right on cue he clanks it LOL. Ball don't lie.

[BCPanther]

From an effort perspective, that's our best league game. Keep it going.

[PantherAlum09]

That defensive effort is what we need every game. When we have that effort and the shots are going in, I'm pretty sure we could just win the whole thing in St. Louis. Even if the shots aren't going down, that defensive effort will keep us right there every time. Cael and Max were huge today and Pock was aggressive. I'm ok with him shot faking every once in awhile, but let it rip man.

I really missed seeing this kind of defensive effort. Let's hope they and the coaches have seen what it can really look like when we are doing what we are supposed to.

Early in the game I was concerned as Bradley was able to manipulate match-ups due to switching. At some point UNI coaches made an adjustment and the defensive switching was not a problem.
