Okay, so are we really thinking right now that we won't have Adrian for this crucial game? I sure hope if that's the case that the rest of the team is ready to step it up. Well, I'll be there, hell or high water, so I hope everyone else will do the same!!

I think with it being Senior Night that the place will be packed and the Seniors are going to want to finish with the win. Detroit is now where near as good as Missouri State so we SHOULD beat them at home. I expect a huge night from Boo and Ford. This is obviously a huge game but I think it is even bigger because I expect Detroit to beat Butler. GO PANTHERS!!

This game matters the most (if we want to control our destiny) for where the HL tourny is going to be, SR Night, Which I really hate to see just how many will be gone.
But this is a big time to thank them and make sure they know just how much we love them.

we simply need AT for this game. there's too much at stake and it's potentially the last game these guys will play at home. gotta have him.
i just hope the crowd is BIG. these guys deserve a raucous night of support for all they've done.

According to this morning's paper Adrian is definitely out until the HT. So the other players -- especially the seniors -- are just going to have to dig a little deeper. At least Rob has had a couple games to see what combinations work.
I'll tell you what, it would be nice to see Big D reprise the game he had at Detroit!

If we learn to make layups and hang on to the basketball we should win the ballgame. But as we've seen from the last two games, that's a big "if."

As much as Id like a huge crowd I dont think it is going to happen...no promotional offer, and when I searched on ticketmaster for four tickets together I could get them in 322...I would imagine 5,000 plus though...

Maybe it is as simple as poise. Calls didn't go our way on Saturday, and it seemed like every time we rose up and challenged the lead, either we would turn it over or the refs would call a foul.
However, neither can be used as an excuse, and I really think that if our guys can keep their heads cool, they can beat Detroit w/o Adrian.
Also, we need to have people. LOTS OF PEOPLE. Seriously, student section alone isn't enough. Old people need to be on their feet. We need to be the 6th man, and that's not just an expression.

I hope McCoy plays as well as he did against Mo. State, cause he was the only guy over 6'6 that I actually noticed for us on Saturday.
If Detroit makes this a football game and we don't have AT, then someone outside of Boo/Joah has to step up.
AT shouldn't play if his play will hurt the team.

I'm superstitious and every time I've said it the Panthers have beaten the Titans...
Sit down Bacari, nobody is paying attention to you.
Go get 'em Panthers!

like trying to win on the road? Sorry could not help it. They beat UWM last year at the Cell. Ed had 38, Joah had 0 and fouled out I believe. Seriously though...what could Detroit possibly have up their sleeve? I suppose Coach Watson is going to pull things out of his azz now that his team is 7-7 in the conference...  Has been holding this secret so that he could use it to secure the 5 seed in the HL tourney? Detroit will do what they always do...knock down open 3's, get offensive boards, try to keep the score under 65 and play solid-enough defense to make it a game. It's up to UWM(minus AT) to press up/rush toward open shooters...our transition D hasn't been strong in the recent losses. They have to do their best to box out, not be so hesitant and take open shots themselves and take care of the ball...be smart...and they'll make a game of it too. |
