as you can tell from my avatar, im a shocker fan, and have watched UNI several times. UNI does remind me a whole bunch of the mid 2000s SIU team, they grind it out, they absolutely love to play the half court game. I think they are the 2nd best defensive team in the nation.
-Eglseder is a talented 7 footer, but he has to be the ugliest man on this planet, when UNI came to Wichita State, us in the student section, kept calling an "ogre" and "Biff" from back to the future.
-Ali Farokhmanesh can shoot the 3, do not give him space, I remember one of the games i watched against Old Dominion he drained 7 three pointer all in the 2nd half, and i believe he is the guy that hit a 28 foot 3 pointer to beat UNLV.
-Kwadzo Ahelegbe, i call him the Shocker killer, it seems like every time we played UNI, he would kill us, he is good at taking it to the basket and pulling up, he will push off with his off hand ALOT.
-Adam Koch, was the MVC player of the year, but is a dirty SOB, to be honest i cant stand the guy, he one of those who will throw elbows on one end, and then bitch to the refs that someone is pulling on his jersey on the other end. Oh nice actor too, the guy is the "King of the Flop".
-Lucas O'rear- comes off the push, a post player, was the MVC sixth man of the year. Hes another one that gets down and dirty. He seems like he gets alot rebound put backs, i was never impressed with any of his post moves.
Those are prolly their best players, they do have decent depth tho. To be honest they play a boring brand of basketball, they use alot of the shot clock, and they play dirty aggresive defense, and yes they do get away alot like SIU teams always did. If KU does get up by double digit, you should be fine then, i dont think they are very good come back team, their brand of ball just does not match a good come team. I actually am looking forward to the Eglseder/Aldrich match up in the post. I do think KU prolly wins by around 8-10 points KU in the mid 60s and UNI in the mid 50s.
