Year after year, we can't seem to find guys who can shoot. It is so damn depressing watching these guys work so hard to shoot and miss. Well, speaking like a Cubs fan (which I am not), let's wait till next year (or the year after that).

P.S. Looks like I won't have to give up parking close to the Convo anytime soon.

Last year, NIU was 7-11 at this point and this year they are 8-10. Injuries have been a huge factor for this years team. The biggest problem has been point guard play mainly shooting. Baker and Orris are a combined 281fg%. Every other player besides Keith Gray, who doesn't count is shooting over 400%. That is your problem with the offense and the difference between being 8-10 and 13-5. Orris has stopped shooting the open 3 and only tries a couple lay ups. Baker has taken the most 3's on the team and must stop. Baker has to shoot some but needs to limit it to about 6 a game. They will get on a winning streak starting Sat or the next game. Aaric Armstead is going to need a game to get back in rhythm and Bowie's stamina should be about 100%.

Bowie will be the big factor come saturday. He is going to prove his worth with a monster game infront of a good crowd.

Bowie, Johnson and the Armstead's are a combined 350% from 3pt. which is good. Baker, Orris and Chuks who doesn't take many are a combined 196% from 3pt. which means stop shooting them even if it's open!
