*Schweiger drive alert*....stuffed at the rim. And a TO on the next possession.

2 points through 4 minutes against one of the worst teams in the country.

I could be wrong but even if UNI loses tonight we'd still need to win Saturday. Drake is 1 game behind us and owns the tiebreaker. So if we win tonight, but lose Saturday, and Drake wins tonight and Saturday, they'd get the 1 seed.

I forgot about the Drake. I hate the Drake.

I heard Coach Drew yell at the team in a huddle, "goramblers2011 is NOT happy with our performance thus far. Wake up or another thread of angry posts is coming!" Seem the team has responded well to that message.

When he yells "Now it's time to drink" let me know. Until then I will be very happy with our start.

I find it strange to think that we need confidence, because we are the Ramblers, but this could be valuable.

I know Evansville is really bad, but why are we able to actually run sets/plays against them and not against anybody else recently?

Wish we could've held them to single digits, but 12 points has to be close to the record for best half if not the best half in a shot clock era right? Does anyone know where that half stands in the record book?

Looks like Drake will hold on. They're up 7 with 27 seconds to go.

UNI is still tight with Indiana State. UNI up 5 with 2:12 left.

Also, MO State up 10 at half versus Bradley.

UNI and Drake both win. Assuming MO State wins tonight and we don't self-destruct, I think we could finish anywhere between 1 and 4.

At what point do we start to rest some guys? Starters are all 15+ minutes with Uguak, Williamson, and Norris already approaching 20.
