A few positives from this Redbird fans perspective....

1. Any day when ISU wins and Bradley loses is a good day.
2. Our guards are starting to take the ball to the basket more often. Despite an air balled attempt, please keep doing this.
3. We have some decent mid-range jump shooters. Reeves, Horne and Strong all have a nice touch from 15-17 feet.
4. The out of bounds play in the 1st half was really well done except we missed the layup.
5. Switching from Zone to man was a good move. Our players were more athletic than the Aces.
6. Abdou is a shot blocker/alterer. That is good to have down low. He is going to continue to improve.

The many moving screen fouls remind me of the beginning days of the Donewald era. For those of you old enough to have been there, you probably remember that too.

Agree with all you said Baltimore!! I will only add that I liked that Mahorcic had some encouraging moves to the basket. If he continues such, it will help our perimeter group! I certainly remember the Donewald era, as I started going to ISU games during Jim Collie's time! I miss the "light em up nights" of the Smithson era!!
