vs Evansville (in St. Louis), 3/7, 8:30 PM, MVC-TV [FSMW+/NBCSC]

[Bird Friend]

EVille is 11-20 and are probably among the worst teams ISU has played at all in the last 5 years. This should be an absolute ass whopping. I stand by the whole get a BIG lead early and them sit all your starters so they can keep fresh legs for the weekend.

ISU- 71
Eville- 53

And have we whooped any ass this year?

If we're looking just at D1, you're talking home vs UE and Indiana State; on the road at Drake. It's tough at times if you're up 20-25 and you play your bench for a good stretch of time. All of a sudden the other team's started hit a few 3's and leads drop down to 15.

What type of team are we? One who can take care of an 11-20 team or one that puts a big stinker on the end of what would be an epic disappointment of a season. Picked top-2 and finish 7th, losing to the 10-seed. I can only imagine the thread if that happens.

But you didn't answer my question . . .

I think we win this game. I hope when Milik steps in that court he remembers how bad losing on it felt last year. I think that drives him and he is a force this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if Dan doesn't use him on the block more this weekend.

 

[Scipio]

Can’t have any confidence about this game. We should be able to beat Evansville; yes. But we’ve just been to inconsistent.

 

[Hrtnfldhse]

Already a couple of quick 3’s. Have they not learned anything

 

[V Boy]

I hate how we play

 

[BirdFan10]

This is, uh, bad basketball.

 

[91Bird]

It's amazing how much success we have attacking the basket...yet....they would much much rather jack up a pull up 3 with 20 seconds on the shot clock. I agree....I hate how we play too. Do they have anyone to match up with Phil or MY? No. But it doesn't matter. We'll just keep shooting 3's.

 

[Hrtnfldhse]

Ill advised shots. Play smart and we win easily.

 

[V Boy]

Tinsley has to be the dumbest defender with under 5 secs on the shot clock in the history of college basketball

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

Agree on the Tinsley foul. Always concerned with Copeland shooting. Nice 3 by Gassman. I have no problem when he shoots from 3.

 

[Redbirdfan06]

Agree on the Tinsley foul. Always concerned with Copeland shooting. Nice 3 by Gassman. I have no problem when he shoots from 3.

Copeland has also let his man get a few offensive rebounds. Needs something to go down so he can regain some confidence.

 

[V Boy]

I just can’t believe how bad we are. We are really really bad.

Paris Lee team would beat this team by 20
Points.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Evansville 4/25 and they’re only down one point. That pretty much sums it up

 

[Redbirdwarrior]

This is just bad basketball. There are a combined 32 points on the board with 4 left in the 1st. Bad.

 

[91Bird]

Playing MY with 2 fouls and 4 minutes left in the half is risky

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

Thought we’d cone out on fire this game. Wrong again.

 

[91Bird]

Are we the 7 or the 10 seed?

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Thought we’d cone out on fire this game. Wrong again.

What in the wide wide world of sports made you think that?

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Are we the 7 or the 10 seed?

I think 11.

 

[V Boy]

Are we the 7 or the 10 seed?
