I watched probably one of the worst half court offenses in the history of college basketball yesterday. I'm hopeful today is better.

Have been coming to games the last 3 seasons

Reeves goes off for 40 setting up a date with the 4 seed.

In my opinion, the worst offense is when we just stand on the perimeter and jack 3's. Even though the execution was not there, at least we tried to run something. It looked we also had a few shot clock violations in attempt to slow down the tempo. Maybe we can get it right against Northern Iowa because I don't think we can run with them.

Four turnovers in first 5 minutes doesn’t bode well. Reeves drawing from the bank as the shot clock runs out does bode well. Up 8-7 at 1st media timeout.

I’m offended by a Badley commercial during the Birds game!

Agreed. It has to be a layup or jack a three or they don’t shoot and the threes outnumber the layups.

 

[Bird Friend]

Lack of interior presence is killing us. Falling in love with jump shots will keep us in it only if we hit our shots. Lack of any consistent defense isn’t helping. Guys looking for blocks are missing guys cutting to the bucket.

 

[Bird Friend]

Oh . . . and turnovers . . .

 

[ISU86]

Dan auditioning for Dick’s replacement?

I would be okay him stepping in for Mike?

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

I’m so disappointed that we have no inside scoring capability from Schmidt, McChesney, N’diaje, or Andrews. Lewis is a decent player, but when you look at the relative weakness of our front court players, is it any wonder that we dribble and Jack 3s? And once upon a time we had Ron DeVries, Joe Galvin, Billy Lewis, Tony Holifield, Jarrod Coleman, Rico Hill, etc. Scorers and Rebounders as inside players,

 

[RedbirdFanatic32]

UNI is giving us chances. Problem is, we are not capitalizing and we're giving the chances right back

 

[bombay]

40-30 at the half.

I wonder when that Madison, WI area code number texts Antonio "welcome!"

Billy Lewis was not an inside player.

 

[Birdfriend72]

Northern Iowa passes more under the basketball between their two bigs than we do in our whole offense. That’s the difference. Our offense consist of dribbling!

 

[RedbirdFanatic32]

So many turnovers...

 

[Birdfriend72]

So many turnovers...

Yeah, when you dribble dribble dribble and get double teamed at the half court line or corners- that’s bad!
