At 4-0 and averaging 90ppg on this young season (25th in the nation), they've got 5 guys who average double figures in scoring.
Head coach Rob Jeter has a lot of familiarity coaching against us in our former life as members of the Horizon League, previously as the head coach of UW-Milwaukee from 2005-2016.
Can't overlook this one! Hungry team that will come in confident and looking for a headline-grabbing upset. We are coming off a very emotional big win. Need full focus and energy.
Yeah. A little nervous about this one. A team we don’t know anything about. Hope we don’t look past them ….and towards Tulsa ….who we know and we owe. Make 40% of our threes and we will be fine. But 15 points on the line seems a little crazy.
Honestly not too displeased, obviously a loss would have been a different story. But SUU was fighting like hell, that Simpson guy couldn’t miss, and the short bald ref had a chip on his shoulder. And a ridiculous fg drought to start the game. All the ingredients were there for a bad loss but they kept it together. Rebounding down the stretch was pretty disappointing though.
The second T was because Drew was outside the coaches box. Apparently a “type b” technical thus no ejection and only one free throw. I’ve seen it called on teams celebrating but it certainly didn’t look like Drew was doing anything egregious, looked like something every other coach does every game. Whatever.

Can somebody more knowledgeable explain the two technicals that we got? Maybe they explained in the broadcast but live at the game we were puzzled.
Yeah all the refs had chips on their shoulders, and we got the brunt of punishment.
The second technical on Drew was ruled a Class B felony, sorry I mean Class B technical which meant he could stay on the court and coach. Apparently it was for being out of the coaching "box". Ok whatever, we know he chirps a lot and the refs, as stated, were a little sensitive.
Thanks. I thought it was related to that cuz Drew gets animated and steps way outside coaches box at times but this didn't seem egregious at all
From my perspective, the first technical by the refs seemed very petty. Bler fans were getting pretty riled up on the bad call on the previous play and the refs took it out on the team, even though nobody on the floor did anything out of line.
