at Indiana State - 02/12/2022 - 12:00 PM - ESPN3

[ISU86]

is this the spot where the 'birds get road win number two of the season? The trees will be playing their third game in five days, the last one going double overtime.

I'll believe it when it happens.

Sam 73, Reggie 71

Unlikely. We don't traditionally play horribly at their place

Echoing the thoughts of the other two posts above, the Birds don't play well at the Hulman Center. If they were going to steal one on the road, it'd be this one. Indy State played a double OT game that ended around 9:15 CT, then they hopped on a bus and drove two hours home. Probably in bed around midnight and now play again in 28 hours. That's a tough ask.

This might be the time to get that monkey off our back. I love the arena. I hate playing there. Things always seem to happen.

Any word how Fleming and Washington are doing? I would press the hell out of Indiana State with this being their fourth game this week. But if we are still short handed then we don't have the bodies to do that.

According to Jim Benson, Muller is hopeful Fleming can play. Washington is out with an Achilles injury. No detail on extent of the injury.

I haven't liked the Hulman center since 1978.

That game sucked.

I can’t remember the last time we won at Indiana State but for some reason I think we get the win in this one.

2017 but you can also say we didn't lose there last year because we didn't play at the trees ... both games were in Normal last year.

Benson's article this morning points out the Birds have only won once since 2007 at the Hulman Center. However, somehow, someway - there was a $50 million remodel???? Holy Cow - either the George family and/or the city of Terre Haute really stepped up. The George family is from Terre Haute - owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hulman was the original owner, his daughter, Rose Hulman George inherited it. Similar in a naming situation as the McCaskey's and Halas.

Fleming warning up and looks good to go today according to Benson.

 

[topiarydan]

I really do hope we can pull one off on the road...but

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Let's Go Birds

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Great start

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Ok now the offense has disappeared

 

[RedbirdSoxFan]

Starting to get the feel of the Evansville game.

 

[Matt Hein Fan]

Seen enough of Freeman by this point, seemingly the the majority of shots he takes are contested and seems to turn it over way too much for a “pass first” PG. Let Fleming/Reeves run point, offense seems to flow a lot better when they’re at controls.

 

[Redbird222]

Freeman has really been struggling offensively as if late
