I really don't know how we match up with UNI, but since they are not Drake or Bradley and since it's a home game for us, I've got to believe we can win this game.

But I think we're gonna need some help, ie turnovers and a below-average shooting performance from the Panthers.
 
Haven't had a chance to look it up yet, but i feel like UNI's play has been all over the map, so to speak. They have some real good wins, and some real head-scratcher losses. They have a really good front court, but their backcourt has been the weak spot. If we can keep the guards in check and not get in big foul trouble at the 5 spot, we can get this win. The 3 point shooting came back last game, lets hope that continues. We also, and i feel like a broken record, need to get better with defensive communication. The coaches keep saying it, the players keep saying it......at some point you would think it gets better.....right?

It's the day before game day, we're in the midst of our worst losing streak since the five games dating from 1/11/23-1/24/23, and I have to wonder...

Could history repeat itself and we end our 5-game losing streak vs UNI at home just like in 2023?
Is it kinda weird/interesting that our last 5-game losing streak occurred during very similar dates in January and UNI was the game that could snap us out of it?
Will I be wondering about the last time we had a 6-game losing streak before our next game on Wednesday?
Who's gonna step up and lead this team to victory tomorrow?
Will our fans continue to show up even with this funk that we're currently in?
By shooting 37.1% from three last game, are we on our way to climbing out of our 3pt shooting funk?
By shooting 66.7% from FT last game, are we still considered to be in a FT shooting funk?
Did you know that JD currently leads the MVC in FG% at 61.3%?
JD is three of his last three from three, should he keep shooting the three (when wide open)?
Will Josiah get another start?
Will Aaron Gray keep up his seemingly improved play?
How about that Turnover elephant in the room that refuses to go away?
I'd ask about UNI players but I'm afraid to look at their stats and see who could go off on us.
