Game 26 - Feb 11 - Indiana St.

Game is really foul happy right now for us. Gotta find a way to get stops without fouling.

That was a nice win. The Trees cut it to 5 but we put our foot back on the gas. Now comes the Murray/Belmont trip. Win those and the Drake game will be really fun! Go Cats!

Great effort tonight. When Pock and Max are on it really changes how dynamic we can be on offense. Tytan was a monster and it's a great security blanket to know you can send it to him when you really need to stop a run or slow another team down. Ben was so clutch from outside today and I think Trey is one of the more under appreciated guys we've had. He's a great three point shooter and an excellent on ball defender. He was the only guy that could really slow down Teel tonight and that was huge for us in the second half. Big road trip coming up!

I've been a critic of Campbell in the past, especially when his game was not flowing well early in the season, but he has turned it on lately. He's definitely an important piece of this team. Like 09 said, when our other guys contribute, this team is just so much better. It's killer to have 5 guys on the floor but only 2 are actively participating offensively. This team would be nowhere near where it is without Tytan too. Onward and upward!

when this team knocks down threes they are so good.

it was a strange night of foul trouble, cael and ben picked up some odd fouls in bunches.

Nice to see Pock get a little extended run with the foul issues and knock down some threes. Seeing some go down in a game will hopefully help him be more confident.

Fun night... hope we get a really big crowd for that drake game. lets hope we take care of business on the road

That's just a business like win.

Withstood the run you knew they were going to make and cruised.

On to Murray.

Great ball movement tonight. Comfortable win. Weird spurts of fouls. Silky smooth Campbell treys. A wandering Chick-fil-A cow taller than Hutty. Plus, a contestant’s near- whiff on a full-court putt attempt. Pretty good night, in my book.

Really great effort tonight, this was a worrisome game with the prospect of it being a sleepy Tuesday night crowd against an (on paper) inferior opponent.

Tonight was the blueprint for us to beat good teams and make a run. Dominate the paint with Ty and Hutty, and kick out to open shooters that are actually making shots. Pock hitting some big shots (!!!), & Benny and Max hitting their open looks. This is huge. This team can beat anybody if they are hitting 10+ 3's and winning in the paint.

Lastly, Tytan is awesome. Truly and all-timer here.

Despite Tytan technically being able to take advantage of the 5-year window, he really put up the vast bulk of his 1250/750/200 numbers up in 3 seasons so it's not like there's a covid asterisk around that career achievement either.

Really embodies a team leader, and for the first time in a while I know if we go down, we go down with him swinging.

Of the next 5, it's looking like Murray State and UIC are ones we close to need to have and then hopefully we can get one of @Belmont or Drake at home.

Correct. He only played 9 games due to injury his first year.

Honestly, he's the last True Panther.

I mean, we do still have Trey. I'd be quite shocked if he moved on after this season. I agree that 4 year guys in Cedar Falls will be harder and harder to come by.

Totally forgot that he got injured his first year. That feels like forever ago.

I love Trey. Trey just hasn't connected with the fan base the way Tytan has. He ended up the successor to the Ben Jacobson (the player), Kwadzo, Tuttle, AJ line.

I'm honestly shocked any of the Iowa guys moved on last year so I don't think we can chalk this one as safe.

Granted there may have been some behind the scenes conversations that made a lot of those guys look for a transfer, and with most of them not having glaring success to put it mildly it may start to lead to a stabilization on these off season moves, but I do think Trey will have his opportunities elsewhere if he wants to pursue.

Given the grass isn't always greener, and he'll have an opportunity again for an expanded role here, he might not believe it's worth it. But I also don't consider anyone safe, especially when they have the proven talent to move on.
