WarrenNolan has started tabulating baseball RPIs for 2009 already - and Indiana State is at the top of the list for MVC teams. These figures are always a bit shaky this early on, but they start to solidify after teams get more games under there belts to base the numbers on. The conference...

8 games left (4 home, 4 away) and the schedule just got exponentially 10x more difficult. I can't see any wins on the schedule.
according to the Trib...
obviously some errors in their reporting. But they're right when they say ISU MUST learn to win on the road in 2008-2009 if they want to make a move up in the MVC.

A quote from Bowling Green Coach Louis Orr nails it for our program this upcoming season:
" Any good team, anyone with NCAA expectations has to be able to win on the road. ? That's what we've got to learn to do. It's what's separating us from greatness right now."

Indiana State tennis teams had their final preparations Sunday for the upcoming Missouri Valley Conference tournaments and came through in fine fashion, the women completing their unbeaten conference season with a 7-0 blanking of Evansville and the men dispatching Bradley by the same score...
Looking at the schedule and current record, ISU needs to finish 18-8 the rest of the season to get to .500 overall. Not sure I can see this happening. Anyone else think they can do it?? Pitching is NOT good at all, if they had some better relief pitching and just more consistency in general it'd...

I see that Mike Davis is bringing his UAB team to play Butler @ Hinkle next season on December 30. I realize he doesn't have a very positive memory of playing in the Hulman Center but wonder if any chance he would like to pickup another road game while in the area?
