They've still got Bradley x2, at Drake and us at their place and the rest is road heavy. Not as tough as what we've got left but there are some Ls there.

I'm guessing 16-4 wins the league outright, 15-5 gets you a share.

Just...

Right. They'd won the CIT the year before and had everybody back, you'd have thought that would launch them into an NIT team at worst and it didn't happen. Ran Marty out of town two years later and hired McCarty without doing any background at all and...

Feb 11th home game with Indiana State assigned to ESPN3 with a 1:00 tip because apparently we're not allowed to have Saturday Night home games unless we're forced into it.

SIU at Drake was selected for the ESPNU slot.

Correct. We're going to get all 8 wins out of the bottom (taking into account Murray was our '2nd UIC game'). That's huge.

Just have to figure out a way to get to 6-6 on the other 12 and there's no reason that it can't start Saturday....

The meltdown by Illinois State was impressive last night. Bold strategy to constantly foul to let a team better than you stay in the game....

'Noah's open. He's ****ing open. Throw it. God damn it AJ. Throw the damn ball'

*AJ drains contested 3. Jake stares absolute daggers*...

Haven't heard any family members screaming our best player to pass the ball this year so I'm reasonably comfortable that we'll be intact next year......

His current assist-to-turnover ratio is 26:1. You can't do that in a video game.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that you can get away with playing RJ and Born together for stretches....

They've won 3 in a row (at Evansville, UIC, at Illinois State). Start fast and let them remember where they really fit in this whole thing.

They were also 'temporary'. They were a Daktronics concept that their design team (rightfully) hated. They refinished them and sold them to us for cheap just so they could get rid of them. 17 years later and here we are. Same with the scorer's table...

Somebody (most likely a student) is turning them off rather than closing the shutters.

His point is right. It's an antique system that was already incredibly dated and 'temporary' when the building opened 17 years ago.

We HAVE...

Have you priced tape recently?!?!??!?!...

Correct. He's done a great job this year when we've needed him in a pinch but he can't be a real part of the plan next year.

Minute distribution will be interesting and challenging which is a great problem to have....

Bradley at home and Bradley on the road are two completely different teams....

McCray, McCarley and Sapp are gone.

Keelon is back to coach safeties. LB coach and one other defensive assistant to hire.

Not shocked on McCarley and Sapp as both our LBs and Safeties regressed big time last year. McCray did...

They can haul the mats back and forth. They're cutting weight anyway.

I've heard that's how Penn State got so good....

In looking ahead to the two other unassigned dates for TV--

One spot available on ESPNU for Feb 11th. We play Indiana State at home that day but I lean towards SIU at Drake getting that one if SIU stays out in front.

3 Spots...

I mean, we're tied in the standings and it's by far the best game of the day in the league. Murray-Indiana State got the other TV slot. Missouri State-SIU was already scheduled for MVC-TV on Sunday....

Home game with Bradley on February 4th has been selected for ESPN2 with a 5:00 tip.

Could be an awfully big game if we keep the momentum rolling.

Shooting is the next step in Duax's game. Time to live in the gym over the summer and just get shots up.

I'm also guessing the banked in 3 on Wednesday night wasn't on purpose, lol....
