First of all, an important warning. This post my contain some positive, encouraging thoughts about the Illinois State University Men's basketball team and the rest of this season -- that some posters my find disturbing and upsetting. Perhaps posters who detest such thoughts may want to stop reading now.
Looking at the rest of the Valley sked, we have 5 homes and 4 aways. We have many of the tougher home and road games out of the way. We still have Valpo twice and Bradley on the road. I think we have a shot at going 6-3 to finish 10-8. With our RPI we have a very good shot at breaking many tiebreakers with the teams going into tonight with 4 losses like us to stay out of Thursday. Anyone avoiding Thursday can still win the tourney, IMHO.
Yep, these were two ugly losses. But they are losses we have absorbed many seasons in the past. Hulman and McLeod have almost always been houses of horrors for us. I will dare to say it, I think we still have a shot to turn this thing around.
