Thought it was interesting they were hiding him on defense by having him guard Brown, also.


They've done that a lot since the ankle injury. We depend on him so much offensively that they're trying to save a few bullets. If it had been closer at the end, he'd have certainly had McDuffie. Plus, Ashton has been a pretty consistent defender all year, as has Carlson...

Eh... WSU creates match-up problems. How else could they line-up? Morgan on McDuffie and Carlson on Brown I suppose.

After the enormous hype the McCloud kid was receiving in the preseason, I was preparing myself for quite a show.

He did not look good. I mean he's a freshman and everything so I get it, but paring that with all of the drool UNI fans were gushing around I expected a lot more than that.

McCloud isn't even the best Freshman on UNI, let alone anywhere near the top of the league.

POY is from ISU or WSU, period. By far and away the best players. Probably 8 of the best 10 in the league.


Morgan was done for the POY conversation 12 games ago.

Juwan got bounced around by some top flight PGs early in the year and was seriously rattled as a shooter confidence wise. He's been pretty steady with ball-handling all year and should have a ton more assists if we could shoot at all but it is what it is. He's been slowly coming around but you can tell he's not confident even at the free throw line. He has been a disappointment in the results though he has shown flashes of what we had expected.

Alize with another 20/20 game. It isn't like Evansville either where every play is designed to get their designated scorer the ball. Everything he gets is on his own with no design help.

Paul Lusk almost certainly avoids Thursday night. Marty Simmons almost certainly locks a spot in. Both will get extensions.

I would be very tempted to do things that get you the death penalty if that happens.
