    we are good

    This game gave me new hope. We only attemped 16 three point shots. We also had 20 free throw attempts. Those are the kind of numbers that win you games in the long run. Sure we lost this one. We did have defensive lapses and some bad offensive plays. But overall this is the kind of game plan that can win. agressive go to the hoop basketball. We knock down a few more shots and we win.

    I feel go about the rest of the way.

    That was definately a winnable game. Moreso than the Drake game.

    We were pushing the ball up the floor and getting some guard penetration (thanks Brooks McKowen) and some great effort by Josten. That guy has really become a contributor. Plus, he seems to have some stones on the court. We'll need that in the tourney and all next year.

    We did have some stretches where the offense was stagnant and ineffective, but over the full 40 minutes it was much better.

    Ahern hit a couple of long bomb threes that probably won them the game.

    I know our guys want to win very bad. I still really like this team and our guys. They're a team that I as a fan can be proud of.

    And I'd pay the price of admission every night just to watch Coleman work his arse off.
    Winning is more fun than losing.

      Tale of the Tape:

      Ahearn 4-6 from Downtown.
      Technicals: 4 (2 doubles)
      UNI FT Shooting 12-20
      Officials: Gene Grimshaw, Mark Mayhood, Randy Mccall
      and ONE HORRIBLE CALL.

      The bright side to our FT shooting is we were making the first! Instead of clunking on the 1st. Which would scare me in 1 and 1 situations.

        Look at the boxscore of the UNI vs. Evansville game last week.....the same game that saw 3 technicals, 4 intentional fouls and 1 coach ejected had two of the above officials who worked the game last night...including the bald headed ref who made the horrible call on Brooks...a call that was clearly out of his area and in front of the trail official.

            My point is that they suck as officials. Sorry you couldn't understand it.

              I am telling you the Valley needs to quit playing on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The league, even with increased pay, can not attract upper level officials, officials egos will not allow them to think of the Valley as equal to the Big 10, Big XII, etc...

              Go to the Pac-10 Method- develop traveling partners (CU and DU, WSU and MSU, UNI and BU, IlSU and SIU, and UE and InSU) and Play Thursday/Friday and Sunday. That way the upper level refs can do Big 10/XII on Wednesday/Saturday and The Valley on Friday/Sunday...

                The MVC, back in the day, used to do the traveling weekend thing. Thurs/Sat or Fri/Sun...it hurts the quality of the league, IMO (and I think that was one of the reasons why it was done away with). You have only one day of prep time for the last opponent. If you play on Friday, you run into HS games. I don't think we want to interfere with that, especially when lots of UNI alums are teachers who support their local HS. Also, from a recruiting standpoint...how do the players see your games? On Sundays, you are interfering with a couple things...local church (if we have people traveling from outside the Cedar Valley and the NFL. Why compete against that on a regular basis? Now, if you were talking about a Sunday or two every once in a while, then that would be fine, but I don't think UNI or the MVC wants to do that on a regular basis.

                Yes, you get better officials, but I would rather play Tuesday/Saturday and occassionally on Sunday late afternoon (after football season is over).
                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.

                  And if you want on TV, you will play them when the TV people want you to play them.
