BIG TIME WIN against Mo State. Congrats to our seniors on ending their careers at Redbird Arena on a high note. Milik was a man on a mission; se need him to have 25+ Saturday in Carbondale too....don't let off the gas. A couple of things:
- What in the world has happened to Evans the last year? Again, several turnovers when bringing the ball up the court; I'm surprised all teams don't do the 3/4 ct press because it really rattles him. His shot is broken. I almost liked Hein bringing it up more against the 3/4 ct press because he at least has some urgency. I don't think Evans is going to figure it out between now and Saturday/for Arch Madness....but I sure as hell hope he does. He was such a key piece last year, and is more of a liability than anything for most of the conference season.
- I LOVE seeing Milik play down low. He opens up so much offensively, and can hang with most in the conference down low. SIU will be a whole different test as they have some big dudes down low.
- Fayne with 18 and 7 in what I consider one of his bad games. It has been so fun to watch him grow as a player and leader....I will really miss watching him play. Hope he can go out on a high note.
- Tinsley or Copeland HAVE To find their shot (at least one or the other) for us to win at Southern. Copeland 1/5, Tinsley 2/5 from the field yesterday. Frustrating that not at least ONE of them can find their shot. Tinsley did hit a few shots against Drake....we need more of that Saturday to stay out of Thursday.
- Loved seeing the embrace at midcourt between Evans, Fayne and Yarbrough after yesterday's win. That is what it's all about....let's finish the job Saturday and get the #6 seed.
On a side note- it is sad to see after both recent wins (Drake, Mo St) only 4-5 pages of content from posters on here while the 5 game skid led to at least 10 pages of content on the boards. Lots of trolls on here.....hate to see that.
GO YOU REDBIRDS!!!!
