That was quite a battle....

One thing I am thinking is that Bowen probably should keep the ball at the end yesterday. 11 seconds on the clock, down 2, he needs to keep it and either drive for the tie or take the 3 for the win.
Not that I don’t believe in Trey. But Bowen...

Staying with them after the first five-minute debacle.

ok….

Agree. This team is so young. They hit the first half with a game plan and executed it really well. The other team made adjustments at halftime that they didn’t know how to handle. Partly I’m thinking, why was Trey handling the ball instead of Bowen...

Thanks for the update.

PSA: when you’re posting here at PN, don’t type #number....

I was surprised by how much Trey was at PG with Bowen on the floor. He unfortunately got rattled by pressure in the second half. He’s capable of driving and making them pay for pressing him. That was a good defensive adjustment on their part.
...

Definitely. A couple plays ago he tried to drive and hit a double team. A lot of guys grab the ball and then figure out what to do - but he kept his dribble, reset, made the pass and got an assist....

Defense great. Forced their bigs to the bench.

Offense taking what’s available and making good shots....

He also handled the ball well, and got a few assists, steals, and rebounds. And defended pretty well....

So in the last three games for the Herd, AJ was 14-30 from 3pt (47%). Not bad % on a lot of shots, many contested....

Pretty good first 20 minutes of football. 35-0 Edit: 42-0

Day looking so comfortable....

The last few posts about Creighton and the friend hat and neither coach wanting a Creighton-UNI series are reminding me of the intensity that was in the McLeod 10 years ago. Doug McD played, I believe, 3 games in the McLeod and won zero. All, I expect,...

Not sure about the “Jake isn’t good at it” part. I’m not saying you’re wrong. Just not sure you’re right.
Our coaches and players have formed a family and a culture. And they did a great job selling that to the incoming guys (2023)....

Born playing great. A lot of loose balls went their way. Both teams shooting terrible from 3 (UNI=18%, Rch=14%).
Defense is working, even with a size difference inside.

My concern is that our made shots have mostly been one-on-one...

Like the d so far

Henry still injured?

Nice comeback. And win on defense.

Great to see a team play small ball and win !

I think the same for Tytan. That play where he went to block a layup and the Wartburg player just hunched with the ball and Tytan was forced to use th backboard to stop the momentum he was intending to exert on the ball.
