Wichita State at UNI - 7pm Wednesday

[iSASO]

I'll enjoy this win before talking about the next game, let alone next year. There's a lot of year left in this year so I feel sad for UNI fans that have surrendered it all. Maybe with a big resurgence next year, UNI will average 4,800 per game.

what are the odds Dougie Fresh enters the NBA draft? He could legitimately be a 1st round pick this year, especially if CU makes a little noise in the dance.

I feel like not very good but I don't follow the NBA much. It seems that he is a man without a position in the NBA..not quick enough to be a guard but too small to be a forward.

I don't know about his speed, but he is roughly the same size has Gordon Hayward. He seems to be fitting in pretty well with the Jazz.

Seems like I saw mention of a similar discussion somewhere else. I really, really doubt Doug is a first round draft pick. He has many things to work on - not the least of which is defense. I really haven't seen him hit anything from three point range, either. So I don't know that he has NBA range. He may be a first round pick in a couple of years, but I think he would be remiss to leave after this year since a second round pick means no guarantied contract.

I agree. It is kind of nice to do what UNI has did to wsu during the turgeon years where they would pull shots out of their butt like Murray did (though I thought he was fouled) last night to win on the road. It is unfortunate that it looks like UNI is not going to be able to capitalize on their good non-conference results this year.

UNI is somewhat of an enigma. They looked like world beaters in the non-con, but totally human in conference. I am just opining this and there may be nothing to it, but it bears to ask, have coaches in the Valley learned to gameplan against UNI's system? If that is the case, it is time for Jacobson to adapt.

Good coaches learn to successfully gameplan against every conference team. Thats why winning conference games is so hard. If you have enough talent, winning games is just a matter of execution, and right now UNI is not getting it done.

There is no "secret system" that people have suddenly figured out.

I agree. UNIs inconsistency this year stems from being a little young.

Yes, coaches in the Valley are more familiar with UNI's players and style and that probably does have some things to say about the difference in conference/non-conference. But I agree with the previous posters that UNI has just been too darn inconsistent this year to say that they have been solved. They have led in the second half of all of their conference losses this year.

UNI has shown to not be a great team against a zone, going all the way back to the first few years with McDermott and Jake here. So why don't Valley teams go all-zone, all the time against them? Well, first, most Valley coaches don't coach that system. And second, UNI does have enough outside shooters that have been able to torch teams enough times to make coaches decide to stick with what they do best.
