Doesn't look like Sandage made the trip and Liam is on the sidelines. Looks like they'll be short-handed again.

 

[Baltimore Bird]

I am hoping we can have our best possible lineup ready to go on Sunday and then again on Thursday. If so, we have a chance to win both games.

Problem with Schmitt (and Sissoko) is they both foul early and often. Ryan could very well be on the bench with two fouls before the first media timeout, Harouna with two by the second.

That's the game plan

 

[ISU86]

That's the game plan

Rotate Andrews, Kotov, Petrakis, Schmitt and Sissoko and we could possibly get a combined forty minutes before they all foul out.

Was just looking to see if I can safely say I'm watching Sturtz, damn Sturtz, for the last time. Please. He kills us.

I hear he is close to signing another 8 year contract with them.

 

[Adunk33]

McChesney is in tonight.

 

[KingO]

Keep pushing it inside, causing some early foul trouble would be helpful

 

[Redbird82]

Haven’t played much defense the last several games

 

[normalbird]

It's also their senior night for all their dudes that have been there 8 years....This one is going to be ugly.

I think it might be Sturtz’s 9th year…

Not as ugly at the half. That’s probably a bit surprising to some.

I really wonder how Schmitt would’ve been had he got opportunities early in the season. He is a step slow but is doing everything that a true 5 should. Setting good screens, rolling to the basket, hedging screens on D and getting back to his man.

I really enjoy Emmenecker on the broadcast. I know he’s technically a Drake homer but he does a good job staying on the fence and generally unbiased. I appreciate his analysis.

Now it’s getting ugly

Always like listening to him call a game.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Also this is an ugly game.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

I haven't turned off or left a game early in 18 years. This game is trying me

 

[Bird Friend]

The highlight . . . Schmitt hits a trey!

Rest of the game . . . yeesh

 

[Brick]

Worst half of ISU basketball I have ever seen.

 

[Buffett1]

We are not getting better.

 

[SlackBooDom]

We are not getting better.

Don’t say that. People get really upset. According to the board this year doesn’t matter and the core we are bringing back from a ten-win team just needs a big guy. Who cares that we haven’t improved at all or that we are going to win ten games. Year one was about just year one getting over!
