Nate Wolters: Lockdown Defender? Today he most certainly was.

Not just the athletics, it's the academics. Of course I'm still pissed because because they wouldn't let me into their library in 1968. Asked me if I was saved and sent me to the prayer tower.

Re: Western Illinois

Just another shout out for Nate making it to 2000+ points as a Jackrabbit! 8-13 shooting, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, & 3 steals. By the way, he helped the Jacks get another road win in front of a partisan crowd. Maybe the players think a regular season conference title is possible too. Go Jacks!! Also, there were 3 other starters in double figures scoring as they finished with 51.2% FG shooting.

I'm somewhat impressed that KSFY got video of the away games at Macomb and at Ft. Wayne.

Must have been available on a feed - KELO had both also.

Re: Western Illinois @ Macomb

I love this outcome for many obvious reasons. Not lost in the mix is the fact that Walters had a "normal" productive night against a team that has defended him better than any in his career. This 22 point, 6 assist game is impressive to me against this team.

Last year against Western Nate was held to 17 points, 6 assists in Macomb, then 10 points, 6 assists in the Frost Arena game, and of course the ugly 14 points, 4 assists that Nate struggled for as the Jacks won in Sioux Falls to qualify for the NCAA tournament.

On to Indianapolis, and then an opportunity to bring the Bison one step back to the pack in Brookings next weekend.

I'm hoping that WIU will take care of business on Saturday night - NDSU will be without Braun and WIU will be keen to avenge their loss to the Jacks and prove that they are the real deal. I'd really like to see us have the chance to pull even with the Bison next Saturday when we make it win #26 at Frost.

There are some possibilities for IUPUI game for those who might have the links to this network.

Re: Western Illinois @ Macomb

It's time to make a run. The next four games include IUPUI then three at home. The WIU announcers mentioned our home winning streak (only behind Kansas and Syracuse in length) multiple times last night.

After another excellent all-around game, Wolters is currently leading the league in both scoring and assists. He is fourth in steals and even tenth in rebounds! He averages more rebounds per game than Bjorklund. Amazing.

The local Macomb paper. The Leathernecks could rebound for the bison.

Thanks for the link OH but ugh the spelling and grammar errors drove me nuts! Otherwise it was exactly what I hoped to hear - that WIU will be angry and ready to take it out on the Bison.

The Jacks just have to be prepared to put the beatdown on the Jags on Saturday night and not think that they can call it in. Hopefully the bench will get to play although I believe that there must be lingering injury concerns for Prince. Getting Horstman some minutes and confidence would be really good. Bittle and Heemstra played well for us last night but I would really like to see more than a 7 man rotation - as much for next year as for this year. Losing Tony and Nate will leave a huge hole and although Jake and Marcus are looking nice, we need more experience on the bench than Horstman who so far has seen the floor in less than half of the 20 games played so far. Prince, once healthy should be able to step into the rotation with relative ease.
