No. 19 Memphis Edges UNI in Bahamas
By Colin McDonough:
"PARADISE ISLAND - The University of Northern Iowa men's basketball
team could not hang on to a 14-point first half lead and dropped a 52-47
decision to the No. 19-ranked Memphis Tigers in the seventh-place game
of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.
UNI (3-3 overall) blistered the net early with six 3-pointers and took a 26-12 lead with 4:34 left in the first half. Senior forward Jake Koch put the Panthers on the board with his 3-pointer at 19:09 of the first half. Senior guard Marc Sonnen hit another triple with 17:06 to give UNI a 6-2 lead.
Memphis's Chris Crawford hit a triple of his own to tie the game at 12-12 with 12:25 left in the first half.
UNI then went on a 14-0 run that included four 3-pointers, the last of which came from junior forward Chip Rank. Rank's 3-pointer gave UNI a 26-14 lead with 4:34 remaining before half.
Memphis (3-2 overall) did not score from the 12:25 mark of the first half until Crawford hit his third 3-pointer of the half with 4:02 remaining.
"I thought we played our best 20 minutes of basketball in the first half in our time here," UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said. "We needed more because that was a key stretch to end the half. If we had kept it at 12 to 14 points we would have had a great chance to win the game."
The Tigers closed the half on a 10-0 run to trim UNI's advantage to 26-22 at the break.
UNI increased the lead to six at 30-24 following a Seth Tuttle layup with 17:05 left in the game. Memphis then went on a 13-2 run to take a 37-32 lead with 9:53 remaining.
UNI regained the lead at 41-40 after a 6-0 run that included four points from sophomore guard Deon
Mitchell and an offensive put back from Rank with 5:30 left in the game.
Unfortunately, the Panthers did not score again until Mitchell hit a free throw with 32.7 seconds left.
Memphis used a 8-0 run in that stretch to open up a 48-41 lead. UNI cut the lead back to five on two free throws from Mitchell, but a Sonnen missed a 3-pointer that would have cut the lead to two with 24 seconds left.
UNI was led by Mitchell's game-high tying 18 points and five assists. Anthony James led the Panthers with five rebounds. Sonnen led the squad with three steals.
"We were excited to get the call to play in this tournament," Jacobson said. "We couldn't be more excited knowing the field. It's good to take on challenges early in the season. This isn't something we'll shy away from."
UNI will return home and play again Saturday (Dec. 1) against Milwaukee at 7 p.m. in the McLeod Center.
NOTES: UNI hit 6-of-15 3-pointers in the first half, but only 1-of-12 in the second half ... Memphis won the rebounding battle, 40-30 ... UNI committed only 10 turnovers in the contest and forced Memphis into 15 miscues ... Jake Koch tallied three blocks and has recorded 89 blocks in his career (one short of tying Jason Sims for No. 5 on the Panthers' all-time blocked shots list)."

No. 2 Louisville Holds Off UNI, 51-46
By Colin McDonough:
"The University of Northern Iowa came up short in
its bid to knock off No. 2-ranked Louisville in the quarterfinals of the
Battle 4 Atlantis, 51-46.
UNI (3-1 overall) trailed 40-22 with
11:56 left in the second half, but whittled the lead to a single point
with just over a two minutes to play. UNI senior forward Jake Koch hit a
pair of free throws with 2:06 left to trim the Louisville lead to
45-44.
Koch again cut the lead to 48-46 with two free throws with
42.7 seconds left in regulation. The Panther defense then forced a stop
and appeared to get the rebound with seven seconds left. But a jump ball
call gave the alternate possession to Louisville. The Cardinals
inbounded the ball to Russ Smith who scored a bucket and was fouled.
Smith made the free throw with 5.1 ticks left to give the Cardinals the
five-point victory margin, 51-46.
UNI will play Stanford at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in the consolation semifinals."

MINNESOTA NATIVE BEN LEWIS JOHNSON NAMED TO THE NEBRASKA MENS' BASKETBALL STAFF
According to a press release sent out by the University of Nebraska men's basketball team has announced the hiring of Minnesota native Ben Lewis Johnson.
The following is from a press release that was sent out by the University of Nebraska. “University of Nebraska men’s basketball coach Tim Miles announced the hiring of Ben Johnson to the Husker basketball staff on Thursday. Johnson comes to NU after spending the last four seasons at Northern Iowa, where he served as the Panthers’ recruiting coordinator in 2011-12.
"I think Ben is a rising star in this business,” Miles said. “He's well-organized, hard-working and great with the players. He can do it all, whether it is game planning or working guys out. I thought it was important to have a guy who's been in the Big Ten and understands the environments and understands how to win. I think that's a huge relationship builder with the players, and Ben will provide that and then some for our program."
During his tenure at Northern Iowa, the Panthers went a combined 93-77, winning at least 20 games in all four years. The four straight 20-win seasons is the longest stretch in program history, and the Panthers reached postseason play in all four years, including the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2009-10. That year, the Panthers won a school-record 30 games and upset top-seeded Kansas in the second round of the NCAAs.
During his tenure at UNI, the Panthers had three first-team All-MVC selections, including 2010 Missouri Valley Conference MVP Adam Koch in 2010. Four players were named to the MVC All-Freshmen or All-Newcomer teams, including a pair in 2011-12.
Johnson had previously served two seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Texas-Pan American. He was heavily involved in recruiting, worked with the Broncs perimeter players and coordinated UTPA's summer camps. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Dayton during the 2005-06 season.
During his collegiate career, Johnson was a four-year starting guard in college at a pair of Big Ten schools. He played his first two years at Northwestern University, and his junior and senior seasons at the University of Minnesota. He scored 1,202 points during his college career and helped lead Minnesota to the National Invitation Tournament semifinals in 2003. He was also named team captain three of his years in school.
He enjoyed a standout prep career, helping lead DeLaSalle (Minn.) High School to a pair of state championships. He was a two-time first-team all-state selection in both football and basketball, and his senior year was named a Street & Smith All-American, as well as an honorable mention Nike All-American. He was listed as the 60th-best basketball player in the country by Bob Gibbons in Johnson’s senior season, as he totaled more than 2,200 points during his high school career. Johnson also was listed on Tom Lemming's High School Football All-American list as a top-20 national recruit and was a two-time all-state performer on the gridiron.
A native of Minneapolis, Minn., the 31-year old Johnson received his bachelor's degree in sociology from Minnesota in 2005.”
Here are Ben Johnson’s coaching stints 2008-2012 UNI, assistant coach, 2006-08 Texas-Pan American, assistant coach, 2005-06 Dayton, graduate assistant.
Also two other coaches have also been added to the Nebraska men's basketball coaching staff.
Ronald Coleman Named to Nebraska Basketball Staff
“University of Nebraska men’s basketball coach Tim Miles announced the hiring of Ronald Coleman to the Husker basketball staff on Thursday. Coleman spent the 2011-12 season at Colorado State, helping the Rams to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Coleman brings experience at the college level and at the high school ranks, serving as a top AAU basketball coach in his native Chicago.”
Jayden Olson Named to Nebraska Basketball Staff
“University of Nebraska men’s basketball coach Tim Miles announced the hiring of Jayden Olson to his basketball staff at Nebraska on Thursday. Olson has been with Miles the last two seasons at Colorado State, serving as the Rams’ director of operations during the 2011-12 campaign.
In his role at Colorado State, Olson served as the primary day-to-day administrator for the Rams, coordinating budgeting, scheduling, team travel and overseeing academics. In 2011-12, he played a major role in the Rams winning 20 games for the first time since 1997-98 and reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nine seasons.
He began his association with Colorado State as the program’s video coordinator in 2010-11, where he handled tape exchanges, breaking down video, recording practices and games and coordinating the team’s video library.”

MORAN’S THREE-POINTER GIVES UNI 61-58 WIN AT BRADLEY
The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team picked up its school-record 11th straight win tonight at Bradley, and the Panthers did it in amazing fashion.
Freshman guard Johnny Moran drained a three-pointer from the left wing with five seconds left to lift UNI to a thrilling 61-58 come-from-behind victory. The Panthers trailed by eight points with less than four minutes to go, and six with a minute and a half left, but a flurry of treys from Moran and Ali Farokhmanesh brought the Panthers back to stun the 9,556 in attendance at Carver Arena.
Jordan Eglseder and Adam Koch led the Panthers in scoring with 12 points apiece, while Farokhmanesh had 11. Moran had nine points, six assists and three steals, while Kwadzo Ahelegbe had six points and a game-high seven assists. In all, the Panthers had 18 assists on 21 made baskets in the game.
Koch and Eglseder each had four early points and Moran drained a three-pointer from the top of the key to give UNI a 11-4 lead to start the game. Forward Adam Rodenberg later made consecutive layups to build the Panthers lead to 15-8 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.
UNI got a three-pointer from Travis Brown to build its largest lead of the game, 18-10, with 6:39 remaining before halftime. Bradley then went on a 7-0 run to get within 18-17, but the Panthers didn’t give up the lead. UNI scored 10 of the next 13 points, getting three more inside baskets from Eglseder, to move back in front 28-20. UNI went into the locker room with a 30-25 advantage, with Eglseder scoring all 12 of his points and grabbing six boards in the opening half.
Bradley scored the first two baskets of the second half to tie the score at 30-all. UNI got four free throws from Koch, a jumper from Farokhmanesh, and a layup from Ahelegbe, to move back in front, 38-34, with 13:59 left in the game.
The Braves then went n a 10-0 run, capped by a three-pointer from guard Eddren McCain, to regain the lead, 44-38, with 9:12 on the clock. UNI got within two, 46-44, after a pair of Ahelegbe free throws, but Bradley then scored six straight to extend its lead to 52-44 with 4:20 left.
Bradley still held an eight-point lead, 54-46, with 3:30 left, when the Panthers heated up from downtown. Farokhmanesh got things started with a three-pointer from the right corner, and after UNI forced a Bradley miss, Farokhmanesh buried another three to get UNI within 54-52, with 2:40 left.
Bradley regained momentum by getting a layup from Dodie Dunson on the next trip down. Farokhamnesh missed a three-pointer, and BU’s Sam Maniscalco was then fouled and made both free throws to build the Braves’ lead back to six, 58-52, with 1:36 remaining.
On the next trip down, Moran drained a three-pointer from the left corner to get UNI within three, 58-55. The Braves then turned the ball over, and Farokhmanesh got free to hit another from downtown, getting UNI even at 58-all with 47 seconds left.
The next time down the floor, and with the shot clock running down, Maniscalco drove the lane for Bradley. But his layup with 17 seconds left missed, and Koch secured the rebound for the Panthers. UNI head coach Ben Jacobson elected not to take a timeout, calling a play from the sideline. Farokhmanesh drove off a ball screen at the top of the key with eight seconds left, Moran curled back behind him, and Farokhmanesh found Moran behind the arc. The 6-2 freshman then buried his three-pointer with five seconds left to put UNI in front, 61-58. Bradley’s McCain got off a three-pointer with one second left, but it misfired, and the Panthers earned the win.
UNI shot 53 percent from the field for the game, including 7-for-15 on three-pointers, while holding Bradley to 39 percent shooting, and 2-for-13 from behind the arc. The Panthers came into the game tied with the school’s 1963-64 team for the longest winning streak in school history at 10, but now stands alone in Panther annals with its 11-game winning streak.
With the win, UNI improved to 17-6 overall, 11-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference, while Bradley fell to 13-10 overall, 7-5 in the Valley. The Panthers’ next game is this Sunday (Feb. 8), when they play host to Creighton. Tip off from the McLeod Center is set for 1:05 pm.

The Sycamores moved back in front by three, 53-50, after Printy drained two free throws with five minutes remaining.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA TO TAKE ON INDIANA STATE
The University of Northern Iowa (15-6, 9-1 Missouri Valley Conference) puts its nine-game winning streak on the line this Saturday, when it travels to face Indiana State (4-17, 2-8 MVC). Tipoff time is set for 12:05 pm (central), and the game will be televised live on Fox Sports Midwest and Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
JUMP BALLS..
UNI has won its first five Missouri Valley Conference road games of the year, the first time in its 18-year membership in the league that it has claimed wins in its first five league road tilts. It also ties the most road wins UNI has ever had in one Missouri Valley Conference season, as the Panthers also won five road games in the 2005-06 campaign.
Sophomore point guard Kwadzo Ahelegbe came up big down the stretch against Illinois State on Wednesday. The 6-2 Ahelegbe scored nine of UNI’s last 10 points, including making three free throws in the last 15 seconds to seal the victory. Ahelegbe, who had 13 total points versus the Redbirds, has scored in double-figures in eight straight games.
UNI’s current nine-game winning streak is the school’s longest since becoming a Division I program in 1980 and is tied for the second-longest streak in school history. UNI’s nine-game winning streak is also tied for the fifth-longest active streak in the NCAA.
The last time UNI won nine straight games was in the 1963-64 season, when the Panthers had separate nine and 10-game winning streaks. That UNI team, which then was a Division II school known as the State College of Iowa, posted a record of 23-4 under the direction of coach Norm Stewart, and advanced to the College Division Final Four. The 10-game winning streak to start the 1963-64 season is the longest in UNI history.
Indiana State handed UNI its lone Missouri Valley Conference loss of the season, an 85-84 double-overtime win at the McLeod Center in the league openers for both teams on Dec. 28. Panthers guard Kwadzo Ahelegbe led all players with a career-high 28 points, while Ali Farokhmanesh added 20.
UNI trailed by as many as 21 points in the first half against Indiana State in the team’s Dec. 28th game in Cedar Falls, and 17 points at halftime (41-24). The Panthers rallyied to force overtime on a Travis Brown three-pointer at the buzzer, but the Sycamores were able to pull out the double-overtime victory.

INDIANA STATE OUTLASTS UNI, 85-84, IN DOUBLE-OVERTIME
Despite a career-high 28 points from sophomore guard Kwadzo Ahelegbe, the University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team fell, 85-84, to Indiana State in double-overtime this afternoon in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both schools. It was the first double-overtime game in the three-year history of the McLeod Center.
Ahelegbe was joined in double-figure scoring by junior guard Ali Farokhmanesh, who tied his career-best with 20 points, all of which came after halftime. Junior forward Adam Koch had 11 points and senior guard Travis Brown chipped in with 10 points and five rebounds off the bench. Indiana State also had four players in double-figures, led by guard Harry Marshall’s 23 points.
UNI got out of the gates quickly to start the game, as Koch drained a three-pointer and also made a pair of free throws as the Panthers jumped to a 7-2 lead four minutes in. Indiana State scored five straight to pull even at seven, and took a 12-9 lead after Carl Richard hit a three.
Ahelegbe hit a pull-up 15 foot jumper to get UNI within 14-13, before Indiana State went on a 9-0 run to extend its lead to 23-13 with 8:44 left in the first half. Following a UNI timeout, Lucas O’Rear converted a conventional three-point play, and Koch had a layup to pull the Panthers within 23-18 with 7:31 on the clock.
The Panthers had two chances to get closer right after that, but missed two straight front ends of one-and-one free throw opportunities. ISU’s Jay Tunnell then hit back-to-back three-pointers, starting ISU on a 16-0 run over the next four minutes, which saw the Sycamores push their lead to its largest point, 39-18, with just over a minute remaining before halftime. Jordan Eglseder scored on a put-back, and Ahelegbe made two foul shots and a jumper just before the buzzer to pull UNI within 41-24 at the break. Indiana State shot a sizzling 65 percent from the field (16-for-25) in the first 20 minutes, including 7-of-12 on three-pointers. UNI made just 33 percent of its shots (7-for-21) and was 1-for-6 from behind the arc in the opening half.
UNI got three-pointers from Ahelegbe and Farokhmanesh early in the second half, while forcing ISU to miss its first six shots from the floor, to get within nine, 43-34, with less than six minutes off the clock.
The Sycamores responded by extending their lead back to 13 points, 51-38, after a pair of free throws, but Ahelegbe and Farokhmanesh made consecutive layups to get UNI back within nine, 51-42.

UNI got within 70-68 after Brown hit one of two free throws with just over two minutes left, and ISU’s Rashad Reed hit both of his foul shots to give the Sycamores a 72-68 edge with 1:19 left.

UNI forced a Marshall miss as the horn expired and the game went to its second overtime. Ahelegbe scored on two straight layups to open the second extra period and push UNI to 77-73 lead. Marshall then made one of two free throws, but ISU grabbed the offensive rebound on his miss, and Carter was able to drain a three to tie the game at 77.

HOT SHOOTING PROPELS UNI TO 72-55 WIN OVER SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
This round up I got from the SID at UNI. The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team shot a season-best 57 percent from the field as the Panthers rolled to a 72-55 win over South Dakota State Sunday afternoon at the McLeod Center.
UNI sophomore guard Kwadzo Ahelegbe scored 16 points to lead the way for the Panthers, while junior guard Ali Farokhmanesh added 14 and junior center Jordan Eglseder had 11 points and a game-high seven rebounds. Those three players combined to connect on 16-of-24 field goal attempts and were 7-for-9 at the free throw line.
Ahelegbe, Eglseder and Adam Rodenberg each had baskets in the opening moments for the Panthers. After SDSU’s Anthony Cordova scored to get his team within 6-4, UNI broke the game open. Eglseder had a layup, Farokhmanesh nailed a three, and Ahelegbe drained a pull-up jumper in the lane, starting the Panthers on a 17-1 run.
UNI’s defense was stifling during that decisive stretch, as it held the Jackrabbits without a basket for nearly eight minutes – SDSU missed all seven of its field goal attempts and had four turnovers as the Panthers built their lead to 23-5 with 5:47 left in the first half. UNI held at least a 15-point lead the rest of the way to the locker room, with Ahelegbe scoring the final four points of the half as the Panthers extended to a 40-19 advantage at intermission. UNI was 15-for-24 (63 percent) from the field in the opening 20 minutes, including making 3-of-4 from three-point range, while South Dakota State made just 7-of-25 shots (28 percent) and was 2-for-11 from downtown.
Freshman guard Johnny Moran had a layup and a three-pointer early in the second half as UNI extended its advantage to 24 points, 47-23. South Dakota State went on a 12-4 run to get within 51-35, but Farokhmanesh and Moran each buried treys to push the Panthers back up by 22 with 10 minutes left in the game. The Panthers had at least a 20-point cushion most of the rest of the way, cruising to the 72-55 victory.
The 72 points was UNI’s highest total since recording a season-high 81 against Chicago State in an 81-70 victory Nov. 25. The 55 points allowed was the second-fewest scored by a Panthers’ opponent this year, second only to the 49 tallied by North Dakota in a 69-49 UNI victory Dec. 3.
With the win, UNI improved to 6-5 on the season, while South Dakota State fell to 5-8. The Panthers are next in action a week from today (Dec. 28), when they open Missouri Valley Conference play by playing host to Indiana State. Tipoff from the McLeod Center is set for 1:05 pm.
