@ Western Illinois

Friday/Saturday next week at 7 PM

Just starting the thread.

Western is 0-4 as expected, but have played a tough conference schedule, and played the Jacks close recently.

Predictions:

W 76-69 Massey
W 80-68 WarrenNolan R-1
W 80-68 WarrenNolan ELO

[Coyote Fan]

I would certainly give the Coyotes a good chance to at least split. I think we should be disappointed if they don't take at least 1. Taking 2 would be an unbelievable start to the Summit League. I guess without looking into things much I would probably put them at about the same level at Kansas City.

Well, I'd post the twitter gameday tweet, .... but the men's account doesn't do that consistently (maybe later today?).

Here's the preview article with all the audio/video links:

Consensus Vegas odds right now are -7 O/U 147.5.

That means a score of: 77.25-70.25, or 77-70, Yotes win.

At the under-12 timeout, and I'm beginning to think the camera is not being run by an ESPN professional.
Plus the score is tied.

Not the prettiest W, but nothing is pretty about Macomb. Hate to complain but the officiating was just god awful. Also umude only played 19 mins- not sure if he got banged up or wasn’t feeling his best but he was coaching hard on the sideline - love to see that from him even though he clearly had a rough go of it.

[elcoyote]

This team just keeps up grinding and gritting out wins. Probably wouldn't have liked the chances  would I have known beforehand that Umude and Plitzuweit would go a combined 5 of 23 from the the floor, but that's certainly a testament to the others stepping up when they need to. On to tomorrow. Hoping Mr. Umude can come back with a vengence.

[kiyoat]

I really like Tasos’s hook shot. Such a simple thing, but an old-fashioned hook is hard to defend, if you do it right.

[gopheryote]

This was the type of game that would typically be an L in the recent past, but these guys are figuring out how to get a win. It was a strange game (flow/officiating, Umude not playing, WIU's reckless style, that flippin' giant inflatable), but they seemed to adapt and adjust as a team.

[Coyote Fan]

This is unbelievable. Umude goes down and the Yotes still win. I am an equal opportunity person and Todd Lee deserves credit. Can the Coyotes keep this up. Dare i said this team just might be worth traveling to watch. maybe it is just the Plitzuweit magic. Everything they touch turns to gold.

I don’t post here at all but I read pretty much every post. I understand that you guys are on a heck of a run since you beat us in sf and you deserve every right to be excited with how far this team has come and should be excited that you are sitting atop the standing by yourself at 5-0 but let’s be real you should be. If you guys think you are more than a middle of the pack team all of these first 8 games are must wins if we are being serious. You have not played a top half team yet and won’t until you play us the first weekend of February. The teams you have beat are a combined 8-29 and 6 of those wins are against non division 1 teams so you have played 3 teams in conference who have won 2 games against D1 teams in 31 tries. If you can’t beat those teams without your best player maybe you are aren’t a top half team. If you drop one of these next 3 games you might struggle to stay in the top half let alone top 2 or 3.

I guess what I’m trying to say is maybe pump the brakes on this team turning the corner until you beat someone who has beat someone with more than a pulse. I’m sure this might not be taken too kindly coming from a jacks fan but if you honestly sit back and think about it it’s the truth.

Lol...is anyone here getting that over the top with outlook/predictions. Honesty after our non conference I just wanted us to make the summit tournament. With that being said, we have done all we can do- beat who’s in front us. Yeah the schedule gets tougher and the big bad jacks are looming and looking for payback from nutgate2020.

The yotes are playing better and winning games they would have lost in November or December so yeah we will talk about it and be excited about it. As you know, anyone can beat anyone in sf and I’m as curious as anyone to see how it pans out without the blue plague in town this year.

This is a very odd post. It comes from a fan whose team hasn't played a conference road game (Yotes have won 3 so far), and 2 of their 3 wins are against a 2-10 team (again, at home). That doesn't even start to consider head-to-head on a neutral floor. Very odd.

Does anyone know if Heiman will be back from his injury? Could use the depth and ability to go with a big line up at times.

What is this? Lol Could you imagine if a Yote fan went on to the Jacks page and made some sort of post like this? They would’ve ripped us a new one. It’s nice to know tho that coyote fans enjoying their teams midseason turn around really keeps some people up at night. But anyway we’re now 6-0, however let’s not make a deal about it as we wouldn’t wanna upset the gods up north.

Lol nice post jaggoff. We wooped states ass in SF and you're still salty about it. Nobody is claiming this is a top 25 team, but they are undefeated in conference play and we are excited about it.

Don't let the Freidel hit you in the nuts on the way out..
