Why WON'T your team win Arch Madness?

[BradleyFan71]

We have Geno.

[DUBulldog]

Because we'd have to win 4 in a row, and haven't done that all season.

[PantherSigEp]

It's March.

Then they give the next game to Evansville to get an extra day or 2 of rest, give Evansville a chance to go to the NCAA's for the first time since 1894, and save Marty Simmons' job.

Haha I'm dying over here!

A couple of reasons UE won't win:

6. Marty Simmons

5. Mozzarella Sticks sets so many screens outside the three he gets tired.

4. Concrete Feet (Blake) plays more than 20 minutes.

3. Marty Simmons

2. Our all-bench MVC player Mislav ... stays on the bench.

annnnd our #1 reason why the ACES won't win Arch Madness is!....

/drumroll

“We didn’t execute well on the last two plays of the game,” UE coach Marty Simmons said. “I feel … we had some opportunities there had we executed, but there’s 100 plays in that game that we could look to and if we’d have done differently, we’d have gotten a different result. Everyone will focus on the last two because they’re the last two of the game.”

“We didn’t have an answer for Payne,” Simmons said. “He’s a really good individual player and we didn’t execute well against him. That combination’s not good.”

“We’ve had some success in the last few games, but our execution hasn’t been up to what we’d like it to be,” Simmons said. “It caught up with us today.”

“Their bench and our turnovers and our lack of execution defensively in the second half just nailed us.”

“It just sounds like a broken record,” he said. “We just made too many mistakes, and until we commit to doing what’s set up — whether it’s game plan, whether it’s timeouts, whether it’s first half, second half, end of the game — your ability to listen and execute, it’s hurt us numerous times this year.”

1. We don't execute Marty's System!

[hot nuts]

Can't think of any.

Wichita State outplays UNI.

I can take my purple glasses off all I want...WSU and UNI are heads and shoulders above the rest of the conference.

Dandruff problem?

For ISUr...


Low basketball IQ and composure late in games will cost us. In addition, our inconsistency on the offensive end for periods throughout the game will also put us in a hole against WSU on Saturday (if get past UE).

Too many WSU players get ejected for getting punched in the nuts.

Zelton Steed shows up

This is all you really need to say for why any Valley team could lose to anyone on any day.
