There's no way Jeter is kept on after this year, right?

Alec had a look at a three to tie it there with about a minute left in the half. Couldn't get it to go.

Admittedly, when you spend minutes on the bench, you shouldn't be _too_ surprised if the other team outscores you.

(Is it too much to ask for live stats to have game minutes in the box score?)

vu72 · January 26, 2015, 07:48:55 PM

What heck is going on with our defense?

Why can't seem to stop them? Oh wait, I got the scores reversed...

mj · January 26, 2015, 07:49:17 PM

We took Milwaukee behind the woodshed that half.

oklahomamick · January 26, 2015, 07:50:14 PM

I have to complain about something.... Tiby kills us every time we play them.

agibson · January 26, 2015, 07:52:22 PM

He was on a 6-0 run there for a couple of minutes... (Tiby vs. Valpo)

Whomever is in charge of the TV/streaming production needs to be told to STOP SWITCHING TO THE UNDER THE BASKET CAMERA. Would have loved to see the Vashil alley-oop there, but instead we got a lob and then Vashil's midsection. Every time the ball goes down low the camera switches and misses significant action.

Valpofan00 · January 26, 2015, 08:29:37 PM

Agreed Ive always hated the under basket camera. It needs to be taken out.

a3uge · January 26, 2015, 08:40:02 PM

I don't know if anyone is watching, but that sequence where they called a traveling on Walker with 3:30 left is a microcosm of reffing the Horizon.

I saw it, thought he was mugged.

Actually Todd and Dave thought the game was well officiated.

For one, the guy on oakland stepped out of bounds, then Walker was clearly fouled... but traveling?

Oh well. Great game.

What happened to UWM? I can't believe they won the conference tourney last year. You can't really even blame it on the APR suspension. I know Ariens redshirted, but man, recruiting has been terrible. They'll lose McWhorter next year (leading scoring, assists, rebounds) too. Maybe tonight was just a really, really off night for everyone, but absolutely everyone looked dreadful.

Did Tiby even play the second half? I completely forgot about him.

15 points, 5 rebounds. 6 and 3 in the second half.

FWalum · January 26, 2015, 09:33:19 PM

Really surprised at this one. Other than the top four teams the HL seems to have a bunch of weak sisters who lack energy and intensity for the game. After the first five minutes it seemed like Milwaukee just folded their tent and went home. Thought Jeter would get more out of his guys.

vusupporter · January 26, 2015, 09:34:31 PM

Tiby had decent numbers, but I thought Darien Walker played some very good defense on him. Interesting move matching up Peters with one of the UWM guards and Walker on Tiby, but a very good move by our coaching staff.

SanityLost17 · January 26, 2015, 09:45:30 PM

Anybody have any guesses on how playing time will pan out if/when Carter gets fully healthy again? I am guessing he will start back slowly. Will Nickerson remain as the backup PG or has Max done enough to earn 10 minutes in order for Nickerson to play more minutes at the 2 and 3 positions?

Or does Bryce prefer the 8 man rotation over the 9 man?

HC · January 26, 2015, 09:56:46 PM

What I liked best about this game, besides the fact that PantherU probably ate more hotdogs in the first half then his team had buckets, was that Valpo didn't let up nor did they play down an inferior opponent.

78crusader · January 26, 2015, 10:09:54 PM

Been out of town on business. Missed the game. Disappointed and surprised at the sparse crowd. When will KC be back? Will 13-3 win this league? If so, can VU get there? It would mean a 7-1 finish. Can we beat Oakland? Can we beat CSU twice? Can we repay GB?

That's all the questions I have. Thanks!

Paul

I was lurking their boards before the game and found a post that claimed that they texted "someone in the know" about the new Milwaukee Bucks arena and that they were going to build it on the current US Cellular land, despite the new owners already completely ruling out that site. Guess there's something in the water there.

HC · January 26, 2015, 10:44:55 PM

I thought the crowd was pretty decent considering it was a Monday night. I hope they are getting a decent kickback from ESPN, these week night games are tough on families.

Can we beat Oakland? Sure, everyone beats Oakland when they don't play at Oakland.
Can we beat CSU twice? Probably.
Can we repay GB? Sure.

Valpo's defense is this good. They force teams to beat them with contested three pointers. Not a lot of teams want to win games that way.

CSU, Green Bay, us and Oakland. With 2 losses at CSU and at Detroit (who always gets up for that rivalry) and wins vs the top 3, Oakland might be legit.
