SYCAMORES WIN!! That was a quality win for ISU...IUPUI has a solid team and a good coach who has taken them to the tournament a few times!

What's with the 11 am start time on a Wednesday?
Nice game for Printy and Lathan. Harry Marshall played 29 minutes (more than anyone but Jake Kelly), and was 2-10.
Kelly had 8 points.

it was a noon start (Eastern Time) as a "Lunch at the Center" promotion!

"Tipoff is slated for Noon (ET) as fans are invited to enjoy "Lunch At The Center"
as a discounted lunch package featuring a hot dog, popcorn and a Pepsi product will be available for just $5"

However...the wording in the promotion is actually incorrect....as in reality, everyone who showed up at that game this afternoon, if they had this coupon which is printable off the Sycamores' web site:

...actually got that entire $5 lunch for FREE..........plus got to watch the game!

however, some of the fans claim they feel like they're being treated like "sh*t" with this ridiculous noon start time...

IUPUI had a #44 RPI. SYCHS #63. Nice Win SYCS!.

Valley SOS has sunk to #26.
Mid Major Atlantic 10, is the #4 Conference on realtime RPI.
Maybe they stole The Valleys "code" At #26 SOS, The Valley sure did not have it!

Got to remember the Valley has played an unusual amount of BCS schools this season. ONce conference starts the BCS RPIs will go up. I think that should help us.

Northern Iowa beat Wyoming tonight 72-54 to end the MVC-MWC Challenge with the MVC winning the Challenge, 5 games to 4.

Maybe, it seems all the BCS Conference have more than their share of DAWGS, which may hurt their RPI's. Thus, the ride their coat tails effect, might not be as significant.

Oral Roberts creates another quality Sycamore victory

ISU defeated Oral Roberts
Oral roberts has defeated Missouri, Stanford, and number 13 new mexico as of today! I think thats a bit better than 7th or eigth along with victories over IUPUI Western Kentucky and Milwaukee-wisconsin.

I love it. A Sycamore fan making his case on this board.

I'll give it to ya Sycfan. As bad as Bradley is playing - I fear The Trees. Good luck to your boys in Valley play.

For some reason I have the feeling our team is much better than everyone who automatically says well, you suck, cause you are Indiana State....apologizeif I come off as schnide or rude...
