for sure... drake and iowa dont have anyone who can really match up athletically with the same size... idk what OSU has for bigs, but i know CB had a good game vs them last year so unless they got some new guys who are better i expect more of the same
Zone was decent, but they were slow moving their feet, let too many drives get past them. But a win is a win.
Petey is so clutch.
... smarter than anyone on the court.
... makes very little mistakes.
... and is in the right spot all the time.
Most underrated kid out there. Period.
Petey and Diante compliment each other really well.

Good:
-excellent play by Brackins...and almost all of it was banging down low. MUCH MUCH better rebounding by him too.
-DG in OT was amazing.
-Loved JVB's hustle and D...he makes mistakes but he will learn.
-Good gameplan with the zone and man-to-man mix up
-Didn't have to rely on the 3-ball
Bad:
-Free throws. Enough said.
-WAY too many defensive breakdowns.
UNI didn't shoot well but they only had 2 TOs all game. And we still won.

Why did we have to wait until OT to see the dribble drive? We need all three factors:
1) Inside presence: Check CB!
2) Dribble penetration with finish (especially when the refs called every minor contact on dribble penetration)
3) Kick-out shooting
We weren't hitting #3, weren't driving #2, so were kept in the game by superman in the middle. We won the game by adding a second factor.
You are right, next season it will be the football teams turn. Anybody else to amped to go to bed?
True. Craig, DG, and Wes need to keep hitting the iron. DG could be great if he was stronger.
Overcoming the emotion of seeing UNI hit that 3-pointer to tie the game (which didn't look like a 3 to me, I'm sure his foot was on the line) is a good sign that this team is getting mentally tougher. Hopefully they can build on that. Nice win, Clones!
If someone would've told me before the game that we were only going to hit two 3's all game, and that UNI would only turn the ball over twice all game...first I would've laughed in their face, then I would've assumed that we were gonna get killed...good win fellas, way to man up!!
Yeah, but from reading the boards before this game, there is no way Petey should be playing on a D1 team because he is a walk on. (sarcasm)
I couldn't watch the game... so wanted to know thoughts on Lucca. Is he out of "game shape" or is he just struggling right now getting into his grove? Or do we think all the attention paid to him last year is either adding too much pressure or was he over hyped? I really want him to be a big time player.
Great point.....that was a horrible angle on it, and I think that is the only reason they didn't call it, but his foot looked solidly on the black line.
