[Buffett1]

Ummm. We are on our home court correct??

Yup!

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Everyone except for Foster and sometimes banks is scared to shoot.

 

[davehead86]

This is painful. Drake could drop 100 the way this is going.

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

I can't stand it

We can’t compete in this conference with these players. We lost to Valpo on our own court. Years of mediocrity have decimated this program.

How do we break out of that? Couple more years of this and we won’t have any fans at all at the games.

We need to up the salary of the coach to be competitive. We are still paying the salary of 12 years ago. $700,000-$1.,000,000.

I just don't understand how we have taken such a massive step back. It blows my mind that Pence can't get any minutes.

I think pence will be solid- he just hasn’t adjusted well. He lost his confidence after starting slow. The game moves so much faster than high school. Hope he turns it around!

The Freshmen and Foster can stay, hand everyone else their walking papers

 

[SlackBooDom]

What’s worst? Down 16 at home. Gave up 43. Kasubke / Poindexter / Davis / Lewis combined 1/8. Those are LOSING basketball players. The freshmen I kept reading on here were immediate impact can hardly play in this game. Severely out-coached. There’s no reasoning for this being the state of things in Pedon’s 50th game. It’s trash.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

My guess is that at 290 lbs and not playing all season, Coach Pedon is easing him in to hopefully avoid injury. I don’t have a problem with that.

Isn’t that what the offseason is for?!?

Our offense is all about one on one. It’s not about screens and moving without the ball like Drake. Our defense can’t guard that offense. Kasubke started and gave up 3 layups.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Its not just Illinois, stop it. Most states do this.

Not really.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Our offense involves three guys standing right next to each other

3 turnovers and 5 assist. Hard to get an assist when no one moves on offense!

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

We should just full court press and hope for turnovers and layups. We hit those at almost 50%

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

Maybe we should drop down to the Ohio Valley Conference.

I’m going to call that the “Labor Union” offense.

 

[Scipio]

No shame. No pride. No hope. ISU men’s basketball has reached rock bottom. Lower if that’s possible.
