Genuinely seeming like a must win.

Just to add several other point totals of former players from their Freshman year - several much older and others non-guards:
204 - Leroy Watkins
206 - Dave Schertz
209 - Glen Honsburch
237 - Hank Cornley
239 - Roger Powell
243 - Buzz Shaw
293 - Rico Hill

I wish Illinois state would join a real basketball conference, where they would have to actually hire a quality coach and get quality recruits for the whole idea to try to win a conference championship and a NCAA appearance
Missouri Valley Conference basketball is just horrid overall. No wonder every quality player needs to go to a better school and conference to have a chance to make the tournament and win some games and advance.

Watching the Florida Atlantic versus South Florida game. For Atlanta has a 7'1 center that actually scores what's up with that. I thought Lieb scored when he was at Illinois. I guess he can't score in our system.

Drake and UNI both up big at half. Bradley especially looks horrible against UNI.

He didn't play at Illinois but he was on their roster

JK is awesome

JK is awesome

The Negative Nelly in me can’t help but think “how do we keep him at ISU for all 4 years?”.

 

[The Beak]

On pace to score 120

 

[redbirds2000]

That was the best 9 minutes of Redbird basketball we have seen in a LONG time!

$$$. He has a price!

Design here's Johnny shirts and give him a cut off the money

Which conference? I know you won't answer. You just spew BS.

 

[Aggie]

Which conference? I know you won't answer. You just spew BS.

The quote “big conference” is going to have to want/ask Illinois State to join? So, who would that be?

 

[Manchester Matt]

The movement on offense is just different right now. I know we’ve missed a few shots in the last sequence, but they are all pretty quality looks.

You really don't have a clue! Lieb never averaged 1 pt in an entire season at Illinois. Where did you get the idea he scored at Illinois? He scored 27 points in 3 seasons at Illinois. Once again, spewing more BS. Keep it coming. You're my pet project today!

Exactly.

 

[Metamoron]

I think Hapner is Jay Tunnell’s reincarnation and has showed up because we won in TH

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

The offense was clicking that half. Great ball movement most of the time. Johnny got us going and Mal is on fire. Foster can't be stopped

Are you giving to the NIL collective? NIL is what will keep players like JK here and elevate the program.
