Anyone think we can win this game? We played them close in Peoria.
I think we will stay close, but trying to be as optimistic as I can be, I don't see us upsetting the Shockers.
Does anyone know the betting line?

BTW this is an ESPN3 game

[lightsout]

Announcer on ESPN3 just said Egolf is out with a sore knee. Hope he is wrong or this might get ugly.

[lightsout]

Egolf is out Time for Jordan and Shayok to step up and show the Shockers something.

wow - for 17 minutes we were playing great with great defense - and it was 22-21 with 3 minutes to go...
next thing you know it's 32-23 - and we missed 2 bunnies & got a bad call on that double foul...

Walt - only one assist so far - not a good situation -- their PG Armstead has 6 already

Evansville takes the lead 46-43 at ISU

we're getting blown out again ... reminiscent of last year's game there...can't argue "improved" from this half and the final 3 minutes of the first half...
..in that span they have outscored Bradley 37-11

[JMM28]

Eh whatever. Totally expected to get pounded tonight. Wichita is reeeeaaally good.

Although at this point I think I'd be fine with Geno "rothing" JP if he can fill the scholarship with a juco big.

I know it is frustrating when we get pounded. But I usually try to avoid posting when I am mad so I don't sound dumb. Maybe do something to take my mind off it first.

No, not whatever! We are better than this! I expected a loss tonight, but not by more than 15 or 20 points tops.

Of course we don't have much depth, and I did not at all expect a win here tonight even though I hoped we could steal one here. It's the development of the bench that greatly concerns me, AND this is not the same team that took Michigan and WSU to the final minute or two in Peoria. WE being out did not cause all of this.

Yes, we will get some reinforcements in here next year, and it's up to Geno what he wants to do with JP. I haven't given up on him yet, but obviously something is not right with him lately. But you have to remember that it will take time for all of the new pieces to gel next year, especially when you lose a great player like DSE. A lot of people are kind of downplaying his loss next year, but him not being here will have a much larger impact than people are willing to admit. Ditto with losing Eastman, and maybe not so much with Milos, but even he is one less player you have. So while I have hopes for this team in two years, next year may not be as pretty as many are hoping, and there were some on the chat that agreed with me on this.
