I'd like to see Ryan Haggerty get more minutes, but easier said than done. In every home game I've attended ( I did miss UIC and Omaha ) Ryan Haggerty has been the most consistent player outside of Haarsma.

Jeter continues to play Mitch over Shaq, so long as that's the case this team is headed for a first-round loss. This will fall softer on the ears of the pessimists than the eternal optimists: I don't think Milwaukee will lose its first-round game at the Klotsche Center against either UIC or Loyola. |

I will tell you what got under my skin at the Valpo game. Wonder a bit if it plays into some of our "not ready for prime time" performances in bigger games. See some of Panther Lou's previous posts. The team seemed to melt down and a lot of it came from the sideline. Rob reverted to some bad habits namely he spent the great majority of time the second half grimaching, gesturing , stomping and pouting about the referees. He spent a lot more time jawing at them than coaching up his team. Watching guys like Stevens and Drew, yes they can make their distaste known but go right to coaching up there guys rather than focusing on the referees. I thought it was a bit immature to be honest and makes me wonder... anyone else notice this ? Really seemed a bit over the top and a real contrast to the opposing coaches who keep their cool and go right to coaching up their players..,. wonder if this rubs off on the team as well...really dissapointed in the mannerisms and lack of focus. Seemed like that became the focus. Not very impressive...

Coach certainly was distracted, that's for sure. |

I looked at my schedule and this is the 11Th Game That I have been to. I normally go to 13 games a year, so I am on schedule. This is the second game I've seen them lose (Badgers). My feeling is that this is a good Basketball team that had a bad loss to Valpo. I don't have any explanation for it. But I DO NOT blame Jeter. Look at "Huggy Bear" and his jawing at the Refs. If Jawing at the Refs is a factor Huggy's teams would never win a game. Yes, WVU lost tonight. But, I do not blame Huggie, and I do not blame Jeter for the Valpo loss. In fact I don't know who to blame for the Valpo loss.

In fact I don't know who to blame for the Valpo loss. I think we can put the blame squarely on the shoulders of our offense. When faced with their zone D, which they were doing to mitigate our effectiveness on the offensive glass, our shooters failed to pull the trigger even though they were begging us to shoot. For five minutes. That is why we lost. |

Why did Jeter burn his last timeout with 55 ticks on the clock down by 1. No matter what happend on the D end we were still going to get the ball back. Wouldn't it have been nice to be able to set up an offensive play rather than relying on Kaylons street ball antics. Jeter's learning years are over so why is it he is still coaching like it is his first day?

Wouldn't it have been nice to be able to set up an offensive play rather than relying on Kaylons street ball antics. Jeter's learning years are over so why is it he is still coaching like it is his first day? In two years, Kaylon has proven several times that while he doesn't shoot a high percentage from three, he does when it's in clutch situations. Sub the name "Clay" for "Kaylon" and you're not wrong. If Jeter was "letting it fly," then he had a pretty good hand to play without a timeout. Hell, Kaylon almost tied that game with two Crusaders draped all over him. It's all about strategy. Jeter called that timeout to get the defense rest, talk defensive strategy, and make sure the Crusaders, who had a play called for offense, didn't get an easy basket. On the other end, Bryce Drew has followed his father's model of calling timeouts in the last possession, and that's what happened. So Jeter may not have had a timeout, but he was banking on Bryce to use one, and he did. Strategy. Edit: Now that I'm looking at it, Kaylon Williams hit a big three with :57.6 left. So not only has Williams proven his big shot ability for two seasons, he also did it going into that final Panther timeout. |

yup, i agree with some of what you said. But you gotta remember as well, alot of those 5000 tix numbers were the seats many little kids were sitting in. If the parents don't want to cheer, then let the little ones, hell, that's why they brought them to the game correct?

I thought that was a foul at the time and the video confirmed it for me. It doesn't matter what part of your body you use to impede another player. Kaylon would have had a better argument for a no-call or even an offensive call there if he had held his ground, but instead he turned his body and pushed Van Wijk, not with his hands but with his hip. Good call. |

Agree 100% with Fran. That should be called a foul every time.
Those officials were poor - but we got just as much benefit from their ineptitude as Valpo did. In the end - we lost that game on our own. Had we polled some cash, and paid off the officials to call the game completely in our favor, I still think the result is the same.
