There's a big difference between enjoying a loss and expecting it and/or being numb to it. Some simply want things to be better, and as long as we stay this course, it ain't gonna happen.

If IF's were fifths, we'd all be drunk!
No, you can't do that. Didn't you know it's all about beating U of I and UNI?

Maybe we should schedule Lubbock Christian more often. I know we can beat them.

Are you sure?
What about Lowery? Not that long ago, he was considered a very good basketball coach. I guess he forgot something along the way.

Losing to Lubbock won't hurt or help the RPI. Winning a "buy" game at Virginia would be better for RPI purposes. We've won there recently.
Great wins and credit to all involved.....but, as YOU well know, you can't have wins like that then come back and lose to Loyola.
I don't know. Is it? How else would you explain our great game against UNI on Saturday?

Seriously, how many people did not watch the other team?
They could have built another arena with the bricks UNI threw up all day.
Bradley did play well, and brought tremendous defensive energy. . .and that did cause some frustration for UNI. . .but let's be real here. . .UNI would have lost to anybody in the upper half of DI playing the way they did Saturday.
Enjoy being a perennial Valley non-factor - and I know you will.;-)
That's what I was getting at
I don't deny that UNI was ready for a letdown sooner than later, and that it's better for a team to be lucky than good sometimes. But you have to give Bradley credit, which you did, for disrupting UNI's offensive flow, and for that I say Bradley was the better coached team, at least on that day.
If you are going to lay blame on the coaching for a loss, you have to give a coach credit for the win, even if a certain degree of luck was involved.

BU had 2 starters go down last year and they were out a total of 64 games missed!
...and yet BU finished with 22 wins and 10 conference wins.
Indiana State loses 3 guys but none for the whole season and thus far for a total of only 31 games - LESS THAN HALF of the games lost to injury BU had last year, and they won't end anywhere near 22 wins and probably won't get 10 conference wins.
The only contrast or comparison I see is that Bradley lost MORE player/games to season ending injury BY far last year than InSU will this year, but still did better than the Sycs will.
The only people who keep dragging up the word "excuse" are those asking this quesiton that I have just answered.
Check my last poll about reasons BU doesn't win more. Injuries are brought up all the time.

Maybe Bradley did lose Warren, but I don't recall them losing Warren, Maniscalco, and Theron Wilson....
THAT would be comparable IMO...

......doesn't this strike you as odd....
many, many posts go exactly like this....
"someone say why we don't win as much as I'd like to..."
Then a response says... "we have injuries"
then .. "stop with the excuses!!"
so if you ask, and get the answer you were asking someone to give, then quit complaining!
