I mean, they've already done that for most of the "prestigious" MTEs. I'm shocked UNI is in B4A.

Maybe they thought they were getting a Chaminade for the field.
UNI shot 60% in the 1st half but are only up 6 b/c they're really not a 3 point shooting team. They won't do that again in the 2nd. UNC will win. ALTHOUGH it sure would be a good win for the Valley.....
 
Man, UNI on fire this half.

Is Duax injured? He was the best UNI player IMO last year and I've not seen him once since I turned the game on.

That has become the first thing I look for to tell me if a coach has kept current with today's game and/or analytics.

Just can't do it anymore unless a team can't throw it in the ocean. Look forward to Robbie and Jabo combining for 22 assists per game against them this season.
 
UNI hung tough and the final score doesn’t really reflect most of the game, but surprised UNI gave up 91 even if it was North Carolina.

UNC really ratcheted up the defensive pressure and UNI couldn’t respond. Also helps that UNC shot unconsciously in the second half.

I’m not sure the details of Jake’s contract, but surely his seat has to be warming with the departure of the AD? I have a ton of respect for what he’s accomplished at UNI, but his failure to adapt to the changing game is going to keep UNI middle of the pack at best…(I’ll be ready to eat my words in March, but I just can’t see how they compete offensively with us, Drake, Bradley or even MOST at this point)

It’s an interesting conundrum. He’s the best coach they’ll ever have, but he went from having consistent success to very hot and cold years. And the cold years have been really cold.

How long of a leash do you give a coach like Jacobsen?

UNI hung tough for exactly 20 minutes, and got the brakes beat off them in the 2nd half. Took UNC 2 2nd half minutes to go from down 6 to up 2. Took UNI 6 minutes to make a 2nd half basket, then another 4 minutes to make a 2nd. That 2nd basket cut the UNC lead to 20. Gonna have to disagree, the final score reflects the game pretty well. Good on Dana and the boys for coming out and executing the game plan brilliantly in the 1st half tho.

Several years longer than the leash you give a coach like Curt Mallory. Sorry, just needed to vent I guess lol.
 
Shooting 9/10 from three point range at one point in the second half does help you look better from one half to the other.😀

Kind of reminds me of the game ISU had against Drake years ago where they made nothing in the first half and then score 60 or something in the second.
