Redbirds @ Evansville 1/9 1:00 PM ESPN3

[ISUBird]

Wow, missing 9 free throws and going 6/15 while losing by nine. I could make over 40%.

I understand that we were not playing a powerhouse but the tallest midget has won 6 of their last 8 games. We played well defensively ... I will give ISU credit there. We defended the three well and they had long possessions where they often threw up last second shots.

We turned the ball over way too much in the first half way. We got that under control in the second half however besides a few drives from Reeves and jump shots from Strong were were ineffective. When we tried going inside, however, we either could not convert or missed free throws. Does Dusan ever go to his left... every? I don't understand why we didn't put Boyd in the second half sooner to try and jump start the offense. It may not have worked but he is capable.

I will be watching tomorrow.

Dusan did not have a good game. He was show defensively and on offense he seemed out of sorts. When he gets the ball in the post I would like to see him stay tall and do a post move. Not a fan of him getting low and dribbling then coming up from that low position to take his shot.

I don’t think I will add anything that hasn’t already been said earlier. The defense was better and I believe that was the focus over two weeks of practice. The defensive footwork, overall, was what I liked. Offensively, Mahorcic needs to quit forcing his non shooting arm into the defensive mans arm!! I think next weeks practice is going back to basics for Dusan and concentrate on low post moves. If and/ or when he becomes a better offensive threat the team will be better. As has been said, the free throws and turnovers need to improve. This team has a very small margin of error.

Browsing the Evansville board and someone made a thread campaigning for 24-year-old WBB assistant Tyra Buss to....succeed Lickliter as MBB head coach.

Post-Lickliter Head Coach Tyra Buss | Purple Ace Place

I've made my choice. The next head basketball coach at UE should be women's assistant Tyra Buss. She would be the 5th woman to coach at the D1 level. All the others were assistants. Being the first

Maybe concentrate on basketball instead of pimping the all the 'man buns' etc. We don't care what you look like... just stop dribbling off your knees, pushing bounce passes into traffic or throwing the ball completely out of play. Oh, and if you continually shoot air balls, maybe pass the the ball to someone else.

Anyone who financially supports this program is literally throwing their money away. The only way you can send a message to the administration that there has to be a change is to stop giving financial support. Money talks people. You keep giving them money there is no reason to change. The enthusiasm for the program is as low as it has ever been. Who would go watch this mess even if fans could attend? At the most, 5 Valley wins. Very possibly 4 or less. It is so sad to see the state of ISU mens basketball.

I received a call last week and told them I would only donate again when Muller is fired. I told the young lady that called to make sure she passes my message along.

I would think 2-16 gets dan fired even in 2021

In that case, to hedge any bets, I’m praying for 0-16.

Honestly, this is all shit you should have down long before you’re recruited by a D1 program. Blow it up now!

trying to untangle your previous statement, perhaps autocorrect may have interfered somewhat

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Eville 0-18 last season? So are we going to be the ‘21 version of them? Wow, brutal. Absolutely brutal.
