Wow. What a difference a coach makes.

Hoiberg is going to be a great one! You can just tell, already.

 

[gocubs2118]

I'm officially impressed

Me too. We still may not win a lot of games but we'll be competitive in most of them with this kind of defense.

If we keep playing like this, we will win plenty of games.

I assumed this would be a much closer game, but the tenacious defense and some great motion (and fantastic shooting by Scotty) are pounding Drake

I like what I see now. Conference play will still be rough IMO.

Our guys play really hard and with tons of confidence. You can tell they don't have to look over their shoulder anymore. I'm impressed that given this freedom to create and shoot, they really aren't making bad decisions either. Only two turnovers. You have to be encouraged with their play, but I refuse to raise my expectations until we play someone worth a crap.

We're passing each checkpoint right now.

Teams with good big men will give us all sorts of problems.

My expectations for this year are still tempered. But next year, I expect NCAA Tournament. Anything less is a failure.

 

[CloneIce]

Look at how we move on offense! So much motion, compare that to Mcdermott's offense, we have a much better system, IMO.

Don't get me wrong guys, I like Fred as a coach and think we are going in the right direction. But I would calm down a little bit, just go back and look at our point totals from our first 5 games last year and then you will find out that they are meaningless.

That being said I think I am going to pre-order my ncaa tourney tickets now.

This team is looking better than I thought we would. Can't wait until we add the Best Damn Scout Team in America to the nucleus next year.

And the new recruits.:smile:

McD couldn't beat Drake or UNI while here.......Fred is making a strong point tonight. Sunday hopefully will be a better explanation point!

STATS:

- Christopherson is 8-of-8 from the floor with 19 points. Can I get a "holy crap" out of that one?

- Diante has 10 points with 7 assists.

- ISU went on a 23-1 run in the first half. Drake went 10 and a half minutes without a field goal.

[Clones21]

I love how everyone thought this was going to be a close game.

 

[Mr Janny]

2nd half starting out very hot

Considering the amount of time its been since we haven't "failed" under your grading system, I will be a little more patient than that - NCAA Tournament next year = Beyond Expectations for me
