    Waye State (Neb.) Vs. UNI

    It will be fun to watch the Panthers open up the regular season play on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how Coach Mac rotates the big people. It should be a game to get the Panthers off to a good start of another great season to gain some confidence to go to Cincinnati.

    Prediction: UNI: 84
    Wayne State: 56
    Attandance: 4,000 I'm not holding my breath

    This will be a tough one for attendance being late Sunday afternoon. This is not a typical college basketball time. I predict attendance around 2K.

    I agree that it will be interesting to see how the big men are rotated. With Godfread out, the young players will get a lot of minutes.

        With 1,500 season tickets sold, and that not counting students, and with it being Panther Pals night...I would also cry if there aren't more than 3000.
        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.

          I'll have you know that somehow I got out of Pep Band rehearsal at 6 to come to this game... why our director would schedule a rehearsal during a game is beyond me... WAY TO GO, MARC!

          Anyways, I think this one is basically in the bag.

                Benny's ready to go, huh? Good deal. What about Godfread? I heard he's out tonight. Is that true? Anyone else out or playing hurt?

                  A win is a win, but the guys obviously have some things to work on before Wednesday night. I thought Santos looked very good for his first "official" game. We may struggle a bit down low early in the season, but those guys are only going to get better.
                  Attendance was OK with just over 3000. Not bad for a Sunday night opener against a D-II team. I'm really excited for the season though. No matter the win/loss record, UNI plays a style of ball that is fun to watch, and keeps me driving up from Iowa City for every home game.

                    3,016 was the announced attendance. I'm not COMPLETELY dissapointed, but it could have been better, as always...

                    After tonight, I'm a bit worried. While we did some things well, others need MUCH improvement. We can't expect to have a great year with that style of play... although my colleague in attendance suggested it might have to do with having little to no practice in the Dome. Anyone agree/disagree?

                    I hope we get rolling against Cincy. How do you all think we'll do?

                      Cincy Game

                      Is there any way one can get this game on TV?
                      Sounds like the game was ok. What was some of the problems and where do we need to improve. Why did Eric Coleman only play 8 minutes.

                          Over 3000 for a Sunday night game on November 21st against a DII team is not bad attendance. That's a pretty good number, and a sign that McDermott is increasing the excitement level around the program.

                          I hope their season goes well.

                          What was the final score tonight?

                            84-66... I agree, we've got a lot to work on. I'm not worried yet though -- for some reason, our top guys just didn't look completely with it tonight.

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."

                              Erik Crawford looked like he is going to be an absoulte stud for us this year. He can do a little of everything. I don't think there is anyone in the MVC that is as good as he is in all of the phases. IMO he is the all around player in the MVC.

                              The biggest surprise in my mind was John Little offensive performance. The more offensive he can produce, the better it's going to make this team. We all know he is the best defender but the last couple years that is all he has been known for. Now, teams will have to make a extra effort to keep a guy on him.

                              Overall, I thought the team played about average. They did some good things but were bad in others.

                              Here is what I think we did well

                              1) Offensive Rebounds
                              2) Fast Break looked pretty solid
                              3) Nice job working the ball inside. Don't rely on the 3pt shoot like last year.

                              The BAD

                              1) Shooting especially the first half. We missed alot of easy shots. Could be due to the fact it was the first game in the dome

                              2) Perimeter Defense...Archer their sharpshooter was open alot and we can't have teams doing that to us

                              3) Turnovers...I thought we had some pretty silly turnovers and at times stuggled with ball handling.

                              I think we will need a drastic improvement to beat Cincy but I believe this team is capable. Can't wait for Wednesday!!!
