Indicator of who we are. We can win a few games down south. But...will we? I'm hopeful, not confident whatsoever.We are 2-3 against the bottom 3 teams in the conference. If we lose today, we will drop to 2-4.
This time of year you can’t afford to have a bad game specially against the last place team.Valpo is such a difficult place to recruit to. I give Roger credit for coaching his kids up in the games against us. I know he really wanted the Illinois State job and my sense is that he's more hyper focused coaching against us because of that.
Another contributing factor to this loss could very well be a mental break our kids took. Having won 4 out of 5 and then going to play the worst team in the Valley, they may not have had the focus as other previous games. Not a great way to end the season but hopefully we can bounce back to the form we were in prior to this game. If we're going to have a bad game toward the end of the season, as many teams do, I'm glad it happened now.

Yeah, we were asleep in the first half. Lost this game on the boards and 50/50 balls. That should not happen this time of year. Hope they learn from it. Glad the shooting was good overall despite a subpar effort by JK. Turn the page and do better in St. Louis.Valpo is such a difficult place to recruit to.
