Starting Seniors on Senior Night

[Cyclone07]

Wouldn't surprise me if we see all the seniors start tonight and the lineup looks a little different.

Something like:
1. Morris
2. BDJ
3. Hogue
4. Niang
5. Edozie

Would be a cool send-off to the seniors by CFH.

In don't believe Hoiberg has ever done this, so I don't expect it tonight.

 

[CTTB78]

I hope that David's 'mom' will be able to be there.

I hope that David's 'mom' will be able to be there.

Who is David?

Not after a 2 game losing streak. Maybe if circumstances were different.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Yup. Oklahoma gets out to a 10 point lead and everyones going to bag Hoiberg for it.

Hate high schools that do that too.

Smart choice is to play like it's just another game. It's going to be emotional as is for some of these guys. And if you're winning in the final minutes, take all key seniors off and put in those who haven't seen much playing time.

Colorado did it perfectly last night. Had a close game until the final seconds. Up 3 with 10 seconds left, their best player (senior) knocked down two free throws to put them up 5. Other team pushes up court quickly, lose control of the ball, goes out of bounds. With .5 seconds left on the clock, Colorado coach took out the top senior and put in his non-contributing senior.

I'm with you on this one. Would be a perfect send-off along with a way to keep the team loose. Nothing is worse than being uptight and tense when trying to bust a slump.

Who is David?

My uncle is named David. His mom is my grandmother. I don't think she's left the Linn and Benton County area in about five years so I doubt she'll come to the game. She might watch it on tv though, if she remembers.

 

[CoKane]

We aren't starting Edozie today. He won't play unless the game is well decided at the end

 

[CYdTracked]

Fred has never done this and I think we've even had at least 1 senior day he didn't even get one of the end of the bench seniors in the game. This game is too important to be changing it up for the sake of senior night. BDJ will get into that game and Edozie won't hurt us if he gets in so I bet he at least plays some tonight but they do not need to start.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Dumb. We aren't in the 4th grade where everyone gets a medal and gets to start a game because it's their last game.

 

[Cyientist]

Does this ever happen in D1 P5 conference basketball? I hope to see Edozie at some point, but I doubt the token start will be there.

 

[CyFan61]

Hope the team can get this one with a comfortable lead so that Fred can get Edozie some minutes. Would love to see him play and then a late sub-out of Hogue, BDJ, and Edozie with the Hilton crowd to send them off.

 

[isulive2train]

Who is David?

Pssh! You know...David.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Absolutely no chance of this happening. This isn't Rudy time, it's time to regain some mojo at Hilton and carry it on from there. We aren't in the Big 12 race anymore but NCAA seeding is up for grabs and it's serious **** time.

 

[CloneZone13]

The seniors will get their recognition before the game, and I bet Daniel get's one of the loudest applauds for his hard work. Like others have said, Fred has not put in seniors just for the sake of senior night, and he shouldn't, especially against a great team like OU, and when we are desperately fighting for seeding. The best gift the regular players can give, is put ISU in a position at the end of the game where Fred can play all seniors.

Nebraska used to do it, but Nebraska.

 

[Fitzy]

Here's a better idea... How about we get out to a thirty point lead, then do some kind of in-game tribute?

 

[heitclone]

Bringing them off the bench is a cooler deal IMO, I'd guess BDJ will get a nice ovation when subs in, hopefully Edozie gets some run as well. OU is on the teams he actually matches up with.
