Wouldn’t be a UNI sporting event without a massive scoring drought in the biggest stretch of the biggest game of the year -
Probably so. But besides belmont. We've played drake the toughest both times.Leave a comment:

Illinois State lost a squeaker to Belmont, giving us the 4 seed for Moline. Still going to be some tough battles at the tournament. Have to say I can't see anyone but Drake (NET 70) or Belmont(NET 73) winning it.

I just looked at the standings, as of now we're tied for 4th with the Redbirds. Once we get past Drake, we finish with 4 winnable games while the Birds have to play Missouri State and Belmont. Really good shot for missing Thursday at the tournament.Leave a comment:

Got a chance to watch yesterday's game this morning. What a great comeback. Congratulations to Coach Warren who got her 202nd MVC win and is now all time leader among coaches in the MVC.Leave a comment:

Ironically, just as we lose Green, Megan Meyer has rejoined Drake, after having initially retired due to an ACL injury suffered last season, She played 6 minutes and scored 3 points. IIRC she had been starting at the time of the injury.Leave a comment:

I was hoping for a miracle and Green be back yet this season but realistically expect it will be season ending.Originally posted by in_the_stands View Post
Never realized Riley Wright is no longer on the team. Just saw her not listed on yesterday's program.
Our slow start versus Drake in the first quarter really killed us. Plus giving up at least 10 points by not being back on defense quick enough.

I'm going to guess she'll be examined on Monday, and that the team won't be sharing much for specifics. AFAIK, it was the TV media that announced Boffeli's injury as a fractured collar bone 6-7 weeks after it occurred. Given how knee injuries go for basketball and that it's February, I'm assuming it's a season-ender for Emerson, unfortunately. If it's the dreaded torn ACL, she'd be unlikely to be ready for next fall, then the question becomes does she take an injury redshirt next season. Goring forward, I'd guess more minutes for Laube & Wharton. I was about to type that it might be an opportunity for Riley Wright, but I see she's no longer on the roster.Originally posted by panthergirl123 View Post
OTOH, even with Green, we were going to have trouble keeping out of Thursday at the tournament, given our tendency to slow starts and general inconsistency. A shame, because when we're on we're very good.Leave a comment:

THAT was the Valley preseason favorite on display. Green & Laube on fire!!Originally posted by panthergirl123 View Post
I watched the end of Drake-Belmont. They are a different-looking team from last year, but pushing Drake that hard in Des Moines is impressive.Last edited by in_the_stands; 01-20-2024, 04:12 PM.Leave a comment:
