A Redbird version of Sanchez's "butt fumble". Classic!

This. Is. Redbird. Basketball.

Dan is going to tell us this is a game changer for the season

The 8 game losing streak to Valpo is over!!!! All streaks must come to an end.

 

[Bird Friend]

Frankly, we didn't deserve to win this one based on the first 24+ minutes. Valpo didn't deserve to win it based on the final 15+ minutes of regulation.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

I hope McChesney sticks around after Muller is gone. He has a ton of potential. Abdou is giving some good minutes this game. As they say, “It’s easy to come back. It’s tough to comeback and win.”

This kid oozes talent.

Reeves did his thing, but I am most impressed by McChesney. If change is made the new coach must make sure he doesn’t go anywhere.

They both look like two teams that will meet again on Thursday night. Bradley is beating Loyola right now. They look like a basketball team. Moving the ball, playing d and rebounding.

I like McChesney- buy don’t get too excited. Valpo wasn’t loaded with inside talent.

Highlight Reel Showcase game for Reeves. Will he be playing in NBA, Oversees, ACC, SEC, BIG12 or BIG 10 next year?

 

[Matt Hein Fan]

If anything is said to be said for this year’s team they don’t quit, however pretty much everything hinges on Reeves decision this offseason, regarding how next year looks.

McChesny is not a Center. He has good dribbling skills, good hands, good 3-point shot, good rebounder, and can score down low. He continues to improve. He is going to be a tough assignment when he has a good Center playing with him. I can see where losing Sy has affected him. Hopefully Schmitt and Abdou can improve before the tournament.

When is the last time Muller has had a good center? McChesney looks to have a nice shot- but still only shoots the 3 at 30 percent. That’s not a good 3 point shooter. Chatman is a 4 too!

Lynch. Unfortunately that didn’t end well for either side.

Sy and Phil were not great, but good enough that Illinois State could win the Valley with them (with a good supporting cast).

True. He was a good player though. I thought that was the start of something big with that crew.

Muller can find guards- but bigs are his kryptonite!

Taking a stud 4 and playing him at the 5 has been a Redbird tradition dating back to Jackie.

Leroy Watkins/Rico Hill

 

[SgtHulka]

The game plan was executed to perfection!

The Tennessee play to McC was a solid to pull out to get some breathing room

 

[Birdfriend72]

Leroy Watkins/Rico Hill

Too bad he didn’t recruit them. Lol

an unsatisfying result for crazzymark and tbs_20
