I mean, we just have to have someone man up and say "I can guard Austin Pehl from UNI without help guys, I got it." That really isn't asking much, yet we got guys that let him go to that right hook and just let him post his fat *** up wherever he wants. It's just not acceptable, that isn't Wayman Tisdale out there, it's Austin freaking Pehl from Cedar Falls and he sucks and I am tired of this ****. I don't care if we lose, but Austin Pehl walking down the floor and onto the block without one of our lazy *** guys getting ****** about it is absolutely horse f***ing s**t. Have some pride for god sake.
Austin Pehl is a lazy P.O.S. I can't BELIEVE he is playing college ball at ANY level, seriously. He lived on being tall in high school but had no tenacity whatsoever.

We are getting SCHOOLED! This is ridiculous.

I know our defense is about the worst I've ever seen, but seriously people, our offense isn't much better. Watch UNI, they know how to run an offense.

We have Royce dribble it up, and go one on one and never once looked to pass it. Then one of the next trips down, Royce pulls up and takes the 15 foot jump shot and misses, without any passing of course. And then the next time down Chris Allen takes it coast to coast and doesn't pass it to anyone either.

UNI has guys flying all over the place on offense, cutting to the basket, setting screens, etc. Their bigs down low actually have post moves with their backs to the basket too. Royce is getting schooled on both ends really. As are most of our guys.

If Fred can't get these guys motivated, then the season will be lost folks. He sure can't be responsible for us not knowing how to play defense or run and offensive play. Fred knows how to do that I'm sure. It's just that nobody on this team is disciplined enough to listen to him obviously... or even care whether we win or not. If we played with half the intensity and heart that UNI does, we'd dominate.

I wonder what this team does in practice...scrimmage and launch 3s...hit all the 3s...think they're amazing offensively...not realize it's because the D is sooooo ******* lazy.

Seems like it, but I doubt it. Well HOPEFULLY that doesn't happen.

Someone has to put a body on that fat boy of UNI's. What's his name? Someone has to cover that thing/glob. Don't care who it is. Just some one.

Actually, Railey is much worse. He's taller, yes, and contests shots, yes, but he fouls all the freaking time. Plus, not really an offensive force. White is the better option.

We could, hang with me here, play White AND Railey. I don't care if Railey fouls, it is at least some form of resistance.

UNI adjusted...went to the post, started cutting, took over the half. Babb disappeared because UNI extended their D...we need coach to adjust like Jacobsen did...

WHAT DID JAMIE SAY?!

while talking about what fans should do for the holidays for the bowl game, he says something very similar like "and prove that we belong in the Big 10".

I'm curious if that's just me hearing things or if he actually said that...seems pretty odd coming from him

He said TIME. Not ten. Sounded close though.

Well, let's hope that we can at least pull off one or two wins in the Big 12... Hard to believe that things fell apart to this point with what appeared to be so much talent. Having said that I haven't actually watched the team play yet...

I feel like I post the same thing every game. I didn't get to see the Rice game, maybe that was different. Our guys have no urgency, we just walk it up the floor, throw a lazy pass, that guy catches and looks around, throws another lazy pass that gets contested, and finally we take a bad shot. I am sure Royce is rusty, but if you didn't know the players you would say UNI has about 3 guys that are much better than Royce. They hit their jump hooks, and show some moves. All Royce does is muscle to the hoop, then miss a contested shot. If he gets fouled he can't make the free throws, so he always going to get hammered.

Defense is a joke. How many times can they just throw to the post, make a cut, get a wide open layup. I'd at least like to see Railey in there, and make them think before they come in the lane.

I hope I'm wrong, I have bled Cardinal and Gold for 40 years. But UNI is just a better team. Unless we start hitting threes we will lose.
