Will be there for both, hopefully they can fumigate the place from Wednesday night. The ladies are on a roll, though.

Some of Harry Potter's 'forgetting gas' might be required for that. :o

When opposing team is at the free throw line and we are yelling for them to miss, I am yelling UNO football as loud as I can. Maybe we’ll be heard on TV.

Anyone know what Diontae Champion’s injury is and when he is expected back?

This is the third straight subpar effort in conference for UNO. If it continues in the 2nd half it's time to worry.

I didn't even know he was injured. And while on this subject......what's the latest on Rosa?

Yea, somethings not right lately. I noticed he started a different lineup tonite, likely a little punishment for Pou's technical and sending a msg to the guys that wed nights play just can't happen again, esp not at home.

I like that Berzat and Charles keep shooting to try to open up the outside but even our defense the last 2 games seems way off. Too many VERY quick and easy layups. I don't doubt that UIW watched the film from wed night and saw that tall guys just own us. 2 straight games that these lanky guys just swat shots, adjust shots, get layups etc. That Kulikov kid owned us tonite. We also don't seem to have the rebounding drive lately.

This was an 0-6 conf team that has been killed in many of their games and we struggled to beat them at home. Not sure what it is......likely we're just not that good. But Travin busted ass tonite and his left handed dunk was a thing of beauty.

Good things: I think we only had 9 turnovers, that's likely a season (or maybe decade) low.

Refs: tonite's officials sucked. Wed nights guys did a better job.

I miss the old days of the radio shows and the Coach's Committee meetings. We learned a lot during those events and didn't spill the beans to the opponents about injuries, schemes, etc. We seem to have lost a bit of that communication between the fans and the coaching staff.

Champion got whacked on the back of his head late in the SFA game. I would safely assume he's been dealing with concussion issues. He was back in uniform tonight, which was a good sign, but Rosa has also been in uniform for the last three or so games and we still haven't seen him back on the floor so who knows?

Thanks for the update. I was suspecting that he may be redshirted, since he's only played in two or three games this season, and one was an exhibition game.

Thanks. Not sure how much of a loss that is but it seems he was another decent long shooter. But we seem to have a fairly deep bench so maybe it was a good move.

Glad to get the win but we must do better. Seemed like almost every UIW shot was within 2 feet of the basket. Our better than usual 3 point shooting and low turnovers were the difference.

Yes, the most alarming thing I took from the game. Just bad defense. Constant layup's and dunks. Are guys blowing their assignments? It seems the strength of our team has disappeared.

I wonder if its the 1)lack of experience with so many fr 2) the constant change in lineups and 3) the fact that we wait so long to get into our offense every play? (tho thats more an offense thing than defense)

Coach used to do a pretty good job of adjusting at half time (sometimes still does) but this year seems off. Teams are really adjusting to our weaknesses.

Also, the bigs are hurting us big time. I noticed that the russian dude hasn't played much and UIW decided to go with him...maybe after seeing how bad UCA kicked our ass?

So did the Fr at UCA. We seem to have lost our inside D. Not sure why.

I watched the replay on ESPN 3 tonite between football games (really didn't want to watch much of them anyway but happy that Minny is getting ass whipped)......and I noticed we just don't seem to be as quick on D as earlier in the year. Can't yet pinpoint why. But some bad teams are making us look bad at home and thats not a good sign as the year goes on. But I guess they're really studying the tapes and finding our weaknesses and with a young team, we may not be able to adjust as quickly.

I'd like to see Berzat, Robinson and Charles shoot a bit more from outside to open up the inside and take the big guys out a bit.

NWST is a prime candidate for a road W so we'll see how this shapes up. I'm not looking forward to playing SLU and NSU all that much right now
