Game 27 - Feb. 15 - Drake (AJ Jersey Retirement Game)

[kochrab]

Sounds like it's going to be quite the eventful game tomorrow!
1. Purple out
2. Free t-shirts for the first 1000
3. AJ jersey retirement
4. In-state match-up

All that to say, can't wait to watch this one live. Hopefully we put another exclamation point in our record with this one. Drake is not the Drake of seasons past, but they still aren't a full on push-over. Gotta stay locked in. Go Panthers!

Game time! Let's go!!

Looks like a great crowd. Great look for TV.

Really stagnant on offense right now. Feels like there's not much flow to it. Gotta get something going.

No Geon today?

No Geon today?

I see him on the bench. Weird. Up 30 with just under 4 min left & we have starters still in. And Campbell keeps letting the inbound pass roll to halfcourt so the clock doesn’t start. What am I missing here?

[kochrab]

Great win. Keep it rolling!

Still peaking at the right time.

I think the clock was running while he was doing that because it wasn't off a dead ball.

Not sure what was up with Geon. At 2 minutes it looked like Jake asked if he wanted to go and Geon said no I'm good.

Not sure if he's a little banged up or if it's something else.

Staying off Thursday is certainly the primary goal. Then seed position, getting fully healthy and going into the arch with big whiff of momentum. Seems daunting but not impossible. The reality is, that’s our annual fate regardless. Better to be playing your best at the end & then see where it takes you

Geon is the latest victim of the bug the team is passing around. He'll be fine for Wednesday.

Get healthy and we're in as good a shape as anyone in StL.

And, lol, Drake is bad. They don't defend. Jalen Quinn is only interested in getting his own and Hendo LOVES Owen Larson for reasons I can't quite figure it out. The magic pixie dust might just be over for now.

When did Hornseth learn how to shoot free throws? He was a bricklayer earlier in the season and the last few games he can't miss. Good for him on working on that and whomever on the coaching staff helped him .

Always good to see a beat down of D+. Might be a different story in Des Moines though. First 10 minutes of the game was back and forth. If that happens in DSM, they may be the ones doing the beating down .

Oh man that felt good. I was so forking tired of losing to Drake.

4-UIC (10-6)
5-Illinois State (9-7)
—————————-
6-UNI (9-7)
7-Valpo (8-8)

That is the current situation.

Got the Birds at home and they are walking wounded. It is all right there in front of us. Pretty amazing considering how bad we played for like a full month. Go ‘Cats.

Love a good ole fashioned Drake whooping. Especially in person. So impressed with the continual improvement to Will's game.

Keep the momentum and avoid Thursday!

Just win and let everything take care of itself.
