Game 15 - at Evansville - Jan 4

[kochrab]

I missed the first couple of minutes

did smith get hurt or is it just a matchup/successful lineup ordeal?

I don't know exactly what happened but he went out early and was being worked on in what looked like on his leg area. Haven't heard anything much in the broadcast about it.

Bit of a shaky start but UNI is starting to take control. I'm sorry but Evansville is bad. Almost like playing a D3 team.

smith limped off not sure what's up there. We could use Indiana Kyle to be a thing. Defending at a high level as always. 4 fouls on the center equals Courbat in the first half.

Chase! Lol. Awesome!

[kochrab]

What the heck, why not Chase? Bet that's exactly how they drew it up lol

[kochrab]

Held Evansville to the lowest point total in a half this season. Their lowest score before was in the last game against the Redbirds, with 19 points in the 2nd half. Counts for something I suppose.

Much better second 4 minute stretch for us. Nice to see the 3 ball dropping. California Polk becoming Indiana Polk?

He'll always be Kalifornia Kyle to me, it has such a nice ring to it.

We shouldn't be committing this many turnovers against these guys.
(Had to complain about something.)

[kochrab]

Kind of nice to have a low drama game on a Sunday. Gonna need to save all of it for Wednesday against Belmont.

How did they beat Oregon State?

[GarretW1797]

How did they beat Oregon State?

Oregon State is just as bad, they just got smoked by 30 against Pacific recently

[orangetennis]

Gave up zero offensive rebounds today. Well done!

[GarretW1797]

Evansville is obviously not great, but this still felt like a big confidence win in a state that weird things tend to happen in. If we shoot the three this well all the time we are really really hard to beat. Huge game coming up, keep the hot streak going.

[UNIChippewa]

Any updates on Smith?

['70 Grad]

Still missing some bunnies down the lane & trying some passes down there that are NOT going to get through.

16 turnovers! Against these guys! Obviously, you are not going to win on the road unless you shoot like we did. Even then, it seems like we missed plenty of wide-open ones in the second half. (Greedy?)

Well, we have now gone 4 - 0 against the lower teams in the conference. (SIU coming up shortly.) Time to start going up against a few of the better teams.
