Thought I’d start a new thread for tonight’s game. 

We’re playing with house money tonight. The pressure will be on UNI to not choke against the #11 seed. 

Cooper and All are playing their best basketball of the season right now so I think we’ve got a chance.

We beat them in January when we were hot and they were shorthanded. If losing that one might have helped tonight (Panther overconfidence?) then I'm sorry we held on to eke out that win. Eek  

Who will guard Hutson and Anderson? I'm not sure either of the Schwieger brothers are up to the task. How many minutes before Cooper is in serious foul trouble?

Tough to beat a team twice in one season. Really tough to beat a better team twice in one season.

hoping for a win but if not I’ll take a doubled winning total for the year

The UNI coach is going to force everyone else to score other than Cooper or Wright.  No way we get the open looks we had last night. I think it's close until Panthers pull away in the last 10 minutes. I hope I am wrong

So far we're getting beatdown's delivered by the bye teams. Drake and Belmont delivering said beatings. Hope it's a trend which does not continue.

I watched the UIC game again focusing on the Carson Schwieger defensive effort. It looked much better than some of his earlier games. Maybe Roger and staff can make a player out of him yet. Cooper can be a bit slow but I am no longer convinced that Carson is even slower. thumbsup  

Another way of looking at the Schwieger situation is to realize that if Cooper and Carson were swifter then everybody would have been offering them scholarships instead of just Valpo.

Looked like Powell was spotting Carson last night. Didn't leave him out there too long at any one point. Good way to build a player.

If All isn’t the best point guard as a freshman, of all time, I’d like to hear different candidates.

GO BEACONS!!
