UNI game observations

[Zardoz]

The Valley TV announcers didn't help the situation. They kept calling Hall a starter but never mentioned that the other two were starters. They implied that they were reserves.

It was obvious from the start that they felt that UNI was going to win the game. They were gushing on and on about the teams UNI had played and the great moral victories they had despite losing. One of them kept saying the the UNI comeback starts now, never happened. Late in the game they started to give WSU some credit. As bad as the Cox22 guys are these people are even worse and I didn't think that was possible.

Anybody else notice that the officials screwed us on the jump balls? During the game, there was a jump ball at 19:20 left in the second half. The officials gave the ball to UNI.

The next jump ball call was made with 3:32 left in the game and the officials incorrectly gave the ball to UNI again.

This mistake didn't affect anything in a 25 point game, but if it had been a close game this mistake could have been crucial.

I saw a jump ball called where Malcolm had a NIU players arm firmly held.

I thought we were supposed to get the ball at the 3:32 mark but I was at the game and wasn't able to rewind my DVR and confirm. Like you said thankfully it wasn't a close game.

I noticed this at the game as well and looked for it when I watched the rebroadcast on the TV. I figured they either missed it or changed the jump ball call to a foul on us. Glad my mind wasn't playing tricks on me.

Cleanthony is much better when he mixes up his outside game with drives to the basket. Tough match up for the rest of the Valley.
Malcolm was very much in control. He needs to stay that way.
Jake White is a good servicable Valley player. The style suits him.
DW is the fastest player, end to end, in the league. Scared me for a second holding his ribs after getting dumped on a 1st half drive.
Nick's defense reminds me of JT's freshman year. Problem is he doesn't have three more.
I want to figure out how to transfuse some of Tekele's toughness into CJ. With that size and athleticism he should do whatever he wants around the basket.
Good to see EO close to 100%.
Fred still making progress, showed the ankle breaking crossover we were hearing about.
