Go Flashes! I hope that Urbana can give them at least as much competition as the exhibition teams. Clear the bench and get every one some PT!

Flash, sorry to say this but Urbana will be several levels below the travleing teams that tour the Div I gyms in the fall. Team Nike would blow them out of the water in a hurry, as woul dthe Czech team.
The have no size which puts them a t such a disadvantge right off the bat agsint us that They can't possible overcome the beating they will take on the boards. Their center is not a bad player, I understand, but he's a thin 6'7". They have no one else over 6'4" I don't think. Check'em out:
<a href='http://www.urbana.edu/athletics/mbasketball/mbbroster.htm' target='_blank'>The Blue Knights of U.U.</a> Oh, please don't tell me their fans chant "U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U..."! :crying:
They are a very bad NAIA team in a league with Shawnee State, Cederville, Walsh, Ohio Dominican, Rio Grande, Tiffin etc. and they are near the bottom of it. (5-13 last year, 10-21 overall)
Why are we playing them?
They make last year's opener, Mercyhurst, look tough in comparison.
