    The encouraging thing was, the guys didn't play that great, but they still won by 18!

    A couple factors into why UNI may not have come out as strong.
    1. The court got put up in the Dome last night
    2. It was Benny's first game back
    3. Our bigs are inexperienced
    4. Wayne State's coach was an assistant under Mac, so he probably knows all the plays and various ways to defend against them.
    5. It wasn't a huge game for the Panthers, but was for Wayne St. (they obviously came out with alot more intensity than UNI)

    So, I don't think we can be too upset with the performance. You can tell that the team will be balanced this year. Plenty of bodies coming in and out of the game. This should be a fun year, and it will be interesting to see if they up their game (which I know will happen) against Cincy.

    Decent crowd for opening night. It was over 3,000, so I don't have to cry!
    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.

      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.
      Agreed. I'd like to remind everyone that last year we brought in 2,000 for our DII game, and only 1,800 for a game against Furman. I'm hoping that this trend continues. Although my overly-optimistic prediction of 4100 was WAY off, I'm pleased with the support.

      Speaking of support, I liked the size of the Maniac's section last night! Only a DII game, and the section was just about full (it would have been if ALL the Maniacs would have been sitting in the Maniacs section... what was that all about? )! I'm really optimistic for the outpouring of support when the Suck-clones come to Cedar Falls!

        I stand corrected with about 3K in attendance. Not bad for a Sunday night. I was happy to see a nice turn out from the international students. We sat behind them and they seemed to be very into the game. Hopefully they will continue to come out and support the Panthers.

        Coleman had a rough night. Hopefully he didn't work himself too deep in Mac's doghouse and will get some more minutes. Based on the play last night though, I am not sure he has earned the starting job...

          Coleman had a blister which caused him some struggles. I think he will be fine, and I don't think he is in Mac's doghouse.

            Thanks!!!!

            To the MANIACS!!! There were a good group of you there last night and you got after it! Thanks! You students truly "get it" and are a great part of the gameday atmosphere in the Dome! Keep trying to recruit more and more students to join you in your quest to be the best student section in the Valley!!!

            I hope everyone in the Cedar Valley is going to try and get to the Iowa State game. There is NO REASON there shouldn't be more than 10,000 in there for the game vs. the Cyclones!

            I can't be there, I have to work But I gave my season tickets to my parents and they will be in the house!

            Go Panthers!!! Get out the word to ALL of your friends about the game!!! If they are a student, have them go and get their tickets NOW and if they are just a Waterloo/Cedar Falls Metro area resident, have them call 273-DOME and get some tickets!!!!

            Go Panthers!!!!

              I'm just basing that on the fact that I was sitting behind the bench. Coach Mac didn't seem pleased with his play on the floor and Coleman seemed to be pretty down on the bench. The fact that he didn't play at all in the second half kind of led me to believe that was the case.

              I am probably reading too much into it, and I am sure he will mature into a very good player for us.

                There will be 10K in the house for the ISU game. I can't wait. We got robbed in Ames last year when they brought back the pot-head just in time for the game. We have a great shot to run the table in state this year. I am so looking forward to the IA game as well. Crawford/Little shutting down Pierce. Jake making Horner look flat footed. Do you suppose Bruner will be matched up with Stout?
