Game 29-Valpo (Purple out!)

[Wxcpanther]

He had them on mcdonnell at valpo because dahl barely played that game. Last night, he got extended minutes in the first half and shut him down. Mcdonnell gave up several easy shots but smits didn’t do much in the second half as they got out of their gameplan playing from behind. And I’d appreciate it if you quit responding to my posts as I’m beyond exhausted from dealing with you.

Dahl played 10 minutes at Valpo, he played 11 minutes last night (7 in the first half, 4 in the second half). Luke is going to get his minutes as long as he's not in foul trouble. What he brings to the offense is undisputed, another 3 assists last night, multiple really strong and 1s, 7-8 from the free throw line. Defense was much better, and guards did a great job of coming in from perimeter and not completely doubling just causing a distraction or raking at the ball. I'm not being disrespectful, or using rude language, I'm disagreeing with your point of view and wanting to debate it. If that offends you in any way, that's on you, not me.

1st only happens if we end up ahead in the NET which is possible but not likely.

2nd is realistic. Win out. Loyola loses either today or next Saturday or both (not unrealistic). Drake beats Mizzou State. We most likely pass Loyola in NET if tied and we've got the 2 seed.

​​​​​​Win out and the 3 is probably the worst we can do.

We need a little help to move up from 4. Part of that help would include Illinois State winning their last 2 games at home against Drake and Missouri State. I just can't bring myself to root for ISUr, but I wouldn't those results.

Really, let's just keep winning and take that roll into St. Louis.

Enjoy the ride people ... we have won 4 straight. This is supposed to be fun. We are almost out of Thursday. Luke and JD as a pair are doing a great job. Neither one of them is Jason Reese. Let's get ready for Arch Madness.

Nice to be able to watch the game from start to finish last night and watch a workmanlike, at times unspectacular, victory. I really can't find too much to b!tch about, other than some silly unforced turnovers in the 2nd half, but we responded well to adversity.

Does anyone know what the verbal dust-up between Jake and Matt Lottich (?) was all about? The announcing team mentioned it, but only for a moment before they went on to brag about how all the MVC coaches are such great guys.

The coaches were chirping at each other about coming out of the "coaching box" after both of them were frustrated with the officials no calls.

I have no interest in debating with you any more. Every time I say anything on here, you have to respond. It’s incredibly annoying. I don’t agree with your opinion and you distort mine. I would appreciate it if you quit responding to my posts. I don’t have the time you seem to have for debates

Its a MESSAGE BOARD. Posts are meant to be responded to. You could just as easily stop commenting yourself.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time dealing with us being a game out of first despite our coach not taking your clearly brilliant advice. Obviously he should be listening to you instead of going off his 250+ wins as a head coach. I'm sure you have many more wins than that to justify your expertise.

You can stop it by not responding to his posts if you’d like to stop it.

Not really and you also broke the rules. This board is nothing but a sham. It didn’t used to be like this. The herd mentality bull**** lives. It’s a millennial and liberal favorite

I’m confused...Coach Jake said they were going black Wednesday night and it’s a blackout but this thread says purple out. Which is it???

This thread is for Valpo, which happened yesterday and was a purple out. Wednesday vs Loyola is in fact a blackout.

Saturday was a purple out, Wednesday is a black out.
