Game 28 - Feb. 18 - at Indiana St

[kochrab]

Well, here goes another dreaded trip to the state of Indiana. I will forever have PTSD from that phantom half-court heave foul. Regardless, they played us close for most of the game last go around. Even though they've only won 3 MVC games, I still don't feel great about this one, especially if we start slow. They've lost A LOT of games by 2-4 points, so their record could be a lot different. Go Panthers!

This will be an incredibly tough game, the team needs to be ready. They are much better than their record, and its always hell playing down there regardless.

Big one for seeding in the Valley. Definitely want that top five but conversely you really want to avoid falling to 7th IMHO.

Hard to believe these guys have the same record as Evansville. I’d say they are much better.

Indiana State at home this year:

-Lost a 3OT game vs Bradley.
-Beat Belmont
-Beat Illinois State
-Lost to Valpo in OT
-Lost by 2 to Murray

They also lost to Evansville and got blown out by SIU and Drake at home so (shrug).

Matt Graves is a very good coach for the middle 36 minutes of a game. The problem is that he's awful in the first two and the last two.

Hackman hasn't updated since February 4th. I hope everything is OK with him!

Should be a good matchup tonight. Indiana State sits at 210 in KenPom while we are up to 87. Their best player this year has been Ian Scott. He's a skilled scorer and has been their best player by a pretty significant margin this year. One of their other main contributors, Derek Vorst, is out for the game tonight. Jo Van Buggenhout is also questionable. We should be fully healthy for the first time in awhile. Nobody is listed as questionable.

We have been playing very well lately. Let's just keep this going. Put them away early and build on it.

Where can you find the injury reports?

I feel a lot better about this game than I maybe should. We trounced Murray at Murray and fought to the end at Belmont, and Indiana State while maybe better than their record is at the bottom with Evansville for a reason. If Vorst and Buggenhout are both out as expected, this game should be a double digit win. But it's a State of Indiana game, so who knows.

John Hampton, Chris Pacsi, Gene Grimshaw.

Get ready for adventures in officiating tonight.

These white uniforms on the road are freaking me out.

When Pock misses a 3, he really misses the 3!

good work reeling the trees back in after they shot great from the tip. ugly end to the half by both teams but we're up at the break so i'll take it.

[CincyPanther88]

Almost put them away but allowed them to crawl back into it.
