UNI is absolutely a Thursday night team.

Dear god, this is borderline embarrassing to watch right now.

UNI may be a Thursday night team, but they'll win the conference tournament anyway, and like get to the sweet 16.

I'll challenge you for that spot on Thursday. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow. LU has got the talent (minus the size) but look completely lost the last 4 games. Hopefully both our squads can turn it around.

Their whole team minus Morgan seems to have forgotten how to play offense or shoot the ball.

In the last few games they have had halves with scores of 20, 22, 26, 16, 16. Not going to win many games when that happens without an elite defense. They have done decent on defense but are really lacking on athletes this year.

When you have an offense that consists of jacking up missed three point shots you are not going to look very good, or win, many games. They will have games when they hit those three's, and you hope they are not playing your team.

Very true, they will win a few based on that.

They are already pulling out all stops for Sunday's game vs WSU. The game is at 3 pm and the only shoot around time offered to WSU was 730 am.

The issue is lack on consistency from anyone not named Jeremy. UNI has started 3 freshman this year and it looks like it.

Another issue that won't be noticed by most is Wyatt Lohaus has been out with an ankle injury. He's a JR that would start and bring a ton of confidence, experience and "calmness" to the floor. He's already missed 8 games and would qualify for a medical. Jake confirmed yesterday that the idea of taking a medical scholarship is being heavily discussed for Wyatt. That means he would be on the roster through 18/19.

The defense hasn't been bad but not good enough to overcome the shooting issues

Yeah...let's ignore the women's game that tips at 11:00 AM that morning.

Let's ignore that UNI women and Evansville women will be in the building starting about 9 or so to prep for their game.....


Kudos on the conspiracy theory that probably has complete traction on ShockerNet and has people up in arms. :Cheers:

Poor scheduling on UNIs part. Unless UNI is giving up their shoot around to provide WSU with time it's a bad move by UNI. Poor administration shouldn't punish the road team

Games over by 1 and 30 min to clear. Not sure where that hour between games went... Oh that's right, probably to UNI
