Haldeman I can see. Brown has the role of being the team’s best perimeter defender, and I think this is at least year two of that. That’s harder to replace, but not impossible. His length and quickness go into that, and those are things this team...

Not sure about that, but if he can keep shooting it like this, it will force defenses to guard him closely at the arc, opening up things for other shooters and Phyfe down low. Most of the 3’s he took tonight were wide open looks. I’d guess at...

Still need to drive to the hoop more, even if they’re quick enough to stop it.

Haldeman has missed some good looks, at least in this game. We’re not getting much penetration or good ball movement against that 3-2 zone they’re playing....

And Dahl draws a foul on Stith. Nice work.

In comes Dahl. He and Stith are two big men going at it.

And most of the time, out athleting someone works. Evansville has to have a least a decent talent level to win a game against a Kentucky type team. EU probably isn’t win the MVC talented, but at least talented enough to hang in and win a game like...

Evansville must be a really good rebounding team. They beat Kentucky overall on the boards, and also had more offensive rebounds. Nice win!

Almost all of those guys have enough ego to think they can play high level ball. It comes with the territory....

CLENZ, that’s good stuff. Weiskamp was a big time recruit, and great get for Fran at the time. His strong/early commit to Iowa probably discouraged other offers, but he was highly regarded. But, your point is very legit when looking at the roster...

Foster made a smart choice. Prohm has proven he can bring talent to Ames, meaning he’ll be surrounded by good players. Of the two, Ames was the best choice for him personally as a player, and also his best shot at team level success....

I saw some lines on those games prior. Dayton and SLU were both reasonable favorites. Sucks that “we” lost, but so be it....

Interesting, kind of. Everyone knows that Ryan Boyle from Iowa, and WDM Dowling, transferred there to play QB. Their leading rusher tonight was Dominique Dafney, another Iowa transfer, who played at WDM Valley. Makes me wonder if we’ll start seeing...

I’m eyeing Illinois getting 14.5 at Michigan St.

Mudra, not sure where you live, but KXNO in DSM has a good afternoon sports talk show from 4 - 6. On Friday afternoons they talk a lot of betting during football season, especially during...

Like someone said earlier, NIU is picked to finish 2nd in the MAC West, but it sounds like the better teams in that league are mostly in the East. I read where Eugene German is good enough that’s he’s getting looks from NBA scouts. They sound like...

To be fair, CU has had some good teams and been nationally relevant since leaving the MVC. I remember them being mediocre for a season or two, but that’s it. The last few years have seen them be good enough to be ranked in season. National relevance...

It would be OK if you had other things to mix in to your offense. I admittedly only heard the second half on the radio, no visual. But, I didn’t hear many drives to the hoop. Only one , in fact, from Green. Phyfe sounds like he gives a really nice...

I’m not as negative on this as you (yet), but from the sounds of the radio broadcast Haldeman in particular has the green light to launch from wherever, and often. They just said all of his attempts were beyond the arc. It sounds like we’re back...

Good point. Graham actually would have more upside. Weymiller was a gritty, workhorse type, but wasn’t going to bust out many long gains. If you want to make a run, against good teams, roll the dice with a guy who has a chance to make plays....

If I remember correctly, that blows McCabe’s potential redshirt this year. It is what it is. If Allen and Housman have to miss any time, who would back up McCabe? With Soko already out, UNI is getting well down the depth chart.
