Redbirds vs Northern Iowa 3/4 8:08pm MVC Tournament

[ILLST25]

LETS GO BIRDS! Throw out the record books, I want to see us get a shot at Drake

Just got into the arena. Very different. Including a massive blow up Arch Madness Championship trophy. Let’s see how this goes.

For you guys in attendance, rush the court if we win.

I guess it depends on whether or not the players’ parents are in the stands...

Lots of parents = total confusion and a loss.
No parents = complete transcendental-like focus and a victory.

What about the fact Jacobsen drew up a play where he got essentially a layup to tie the game and send it to OT? Dan clearly didn’t have the smarts to think ahead and plan a defense to win the game.

Remember it was Horne who missed the free throw that opened the door for that to happen. Best Player on the Team misses biggest shot of game. So didn't Dan draw up the play to put the ball in his best players hands?

 

[gobirds85]

Love the team’s energy so far.

 

[Redbird222]

Offense looks decent ... too much penetration allowed on defense.

 

[Redbird222]

Reeves off to good start

 

[Birdfriend72]

Yeah hopefully Andrews can develop. He has a nice frame to build on. I would love to see a couple of bigs added for next season. I really like our young guards though.

I’m like you...I want to win. Our guards are sweet.

 

[Redbird222]

Need to Phyfe is killing us.

 

[gobirds85]

It would be great to see the refs call a few fouls of uni. We are getting banged around.

 

[bawhale88]

are unforced turnovers tracked? We gotta be leading the nation in the Dan muller era

 

[Bird Friend]

It would be great to see the refs call a few fouls of uni. We are getting banged around.

Mahorcic has 4 TOs. One was from a bad entry pass and he was hammered. One we had two players push their defenders into Dusan's path as he was taking Phyfe 1-on-1.

And the refs are allowing a lot of pushing.

Make that 5 TOs on DM.

 

[gobirds85]

Duson should not be dribbling. It’s not a good look.

 

[Redbird222]

If Dusan stops turning the ball over we may have a chance

 

[Redbird222]

Duson should not be dribbling. It’s not a good look.

Exactly, he's in there for his stellar defense against Phyfe

 

[topiarydan]

We have no set plays - that Duson even feels he should dribble is a sign of complete chaos in our offiense. Plus we're undisciplined. The inbound violation shows poor fundamentals (that's the shit that should be ingrained in a kids head). I hope I am wrong but watching Ben Jacobson clapping at the end of the half shows me they are going to pound it inside, score at will or put us in foul trouble.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Amazing first half for our three Redbirdfan.net anointed freshman all stars - that have been crowned as the chosen ones - with a whopping 5pts (combined)...
Like Gordon Lightfoot said, “Fellas, it’s been good to know ya.”

 

[Redbird222]

We need to get Horne involved. I know we don't want to give up a three but we might have to help our front court with Phyfe.

I see that inbounds violation occur every game, rarely gets called. Figures it was Heimerman that blew his whistle, a Pollard in the making.
