NSIC week 6 chat

I was looking forward to Fox vs Janssen tonight but it was a pretty one sided matchup. Parker was dominant on defense and Janssen struggled to do much. 24-15-10 blks, triple double for Parker was impressive. I wish NSU could play more than 7 guys as that lack of depth is an issue. But it was a good weekend for the Wolves.

Only 8 total turnovers in the Winona (2) -Bemidji (6) game. Was it well-played? Limited pressure? Or just good decision-making on both teams, especially Winona? Anyone insight on that?

What's most indescribable to me is the in season regression - notably Schaefer, Dykman, and Bryan. The team that rolled to 10-2 with an egalitarian offensive attack centered around 3s and offensive rebounds now struggles to score every single game.

I hate to psycho-analyze, but Bryan is playing with no confidence. He looks as if he is afraid to shoot. I'd rather see Todd play 40 minutes and put up with his defensive (cough) lapses.

USF gets taken down by the Red Beavers. Final score 69 (R.I.P. Guest69) to 66.

I have been betting on Minot to break out and win a game, especially against the sub .500 NSIC opponents. But they can't beat the #1 team in the south can they? I can't vote for that. Well... they did. Man!

I'm beginning to wonder if Augie is going to win again this season. I'm also beginning to wonder if we were oversold on how talented this group is. The talent level of our conference opponents so far has been every bit our equal. We're definitely not as deep as we once thought. If Riemersma and Todd have an off game offensively, we're in a world of hurt.

While it certainly wouldn't guarantee wins in place of all four of these recent losses, I have found myself wondering during this stretch what this team would look like it Plitzuweit hadn't been poached. Not only his scoring, but his overall vision on the floor and his noticeably-better-than-Matt-Todd defense.

That being said, it would be great if we weren't dangerously close to a 5 game losing streak regardless of who we have out on the floor this season.

Wolves running out of gas a little in Wayne. Lead down to 10 with 5 to play.

Moorhead up 4 on Augie at the half. Everything looks mediocre, this is brutal

[Augieholic]

Augie up 9-7 on Moorhead 5 minutes in, the only interesting thing so far is that Jeff Coombe and Levi Pearson are at the Pentagon for the 2nd night in a row, due to weather.

[Thunder]

Wolves with a good start up 27-14 with 9 left in the first. The NSU players need name tags for the Wayne announcer.

Easy dub over Crookston, never seen a team (Crookston) rely on one person so much. The Crookston kids do not know what to do out there and it is obvious. But end of the day, great win - gotta go get Bemidji

The Warriors continue to flash periods of really, really good play. Then they seem to back off the pedal and kind of coast. If they can keep up the defensive effort they flash, they will be a tough out. Especially since they seem to have 3 legit scorers now.

[Thunder]

The Mavs seem to be playing better, but Duluth losing Myer early in the game was a huge factor in their upset last night. Hopefully he is not seriously injured as he is one of the most entertaining players in the league.
