What you are seeing here is that any team that decides to play hard D against us exposes a total lack of athleticism, shot-creation ability and offensive ability in general.
And as I said after the Bradley home game, our guards are so weak that they can’t do anything. And because the guards...
worst switching defense I’ve seen. Maybe ever. Guards guarding bigs. Bigs guarding guards. It’s so lazy. And easy. All they have to do literally is run high ball screens and they get a dunk or a wide open three
Long-time member. Been a long time since I’ve posted.
Drove down to a game for first time in a few years.
Pedon is very very far away from being the caliber coach Wardle is. In every aspect. Recruiting. Preparation. Mindset. In-game adjustments. Defensive game plan and intensity...
I am surprised.....but then also not surprised....that no one on this board has even remotely commented about how patheticly managed this conference is and how it is devoid of anything that would qualify as leadership. From the Commissioners office to the ADs and university presidents around...
Two biggest takeaways:
1) Muller isn't recruiting competitively even with other Valley programs let alone other good mid-major programs. He's getting basically nobody from Illinois.
2) The small handful of decent recruits he is able to lure to ISU leave, leaving him with huge talent gaps and...
What does it say about your program when your best player leaves because he thinks he has no shot making the NCAA Tournament? To me that means your program has no leadership at all.
The thing I keep thinking about with the transfer portal stuff is.....if everyone is just using each other for their own benefit.....and no one has any equity in anything except for themselves.....then why should I care? Why pay attention? Why go to games or even come onto this board?
The...
Hey everybody. Older I get the less important this all seems. Especially when you consider we lost to Loyola twice by 30....and Loyola would probably be a 15 pt underdog to Illinois. That’s how irrelevant ISU basketball has become.
so go outside. It’s the last 60-degree day for a while...
ISU game threads are 2 pages long and 1 of those 2 pages are about Drake and Loyola.
Still no defense
Still no toughness
Still no identity
Average talent. you have to ask yourself....is the ISU job still even a good job?
Moser and Wardle have the recruiting advantage now. Mullins getting...
I think the first thought would be:
how far has the program fallen to have ever gotten to a point where Drake.....Drake.....would ever be so heavily dominantly favored to beat Illinois State by this much. Like what are all the things that had to happen for that to be possible? That list must...
Imagine you didn’t know anything about ISU basketball 15 games into the year and the first thing you found out was that ISU was a 21-pt underdog to Drake.....
Starting to think the only kid who can really change things for ISU is Fleming. Once things slow down for him hopefully he takes over the team and has the ball in his hands the most.
Horne and Strong better off the ball. Reeves is a stand in the corner type player.
we are just going to have...
