OK some of you may think this ridiculous, but I'm thinking this may be the best overall team we've had since Bird. Crazy ? Think about it -- we've seen in the past few years what happened when our best player went down (Moss for example). Think about those early 2000's teams if Menser, Renn, and Block had all been lost to injury. We would not have been able to beat a decent South High School intramural team.
But these guys ..........give 'em credit. Lose the best incoming player (Kelly) in 25 years --- they keep battling. Down goes Lathan -- probably the most athletic and potentially most exciting player we may ever had at ISU -- we just keep going. And Harry -- despite some offcourt issues one of the best leaders and top notch defensive players we've seen in Terre Haute in many many years --- the team just keeps going for it.
I know Drake is not exactly a top notch team but once again we'd have been blown out in past years if we lost our best three players. And given the effort at WSU I think the above makes some real sense ............
Whata ya think ? ? ?

I definitely like the way the guys have been stepping up their game. The injuries have slowed us down a bit, but not as much as they would have in years past.
 
I like the term, "Elite Eight"...kinda infers that they're on a MISSION. I'd like to see a few banners around Campus and the TH Media using this ID. Unique...

Reminds me of UE Coach Arad McCutchans squads post '65 NCAA Champ...they called 'em the "Vampire 5." He actually would substitute a whole NEW 5 players after 10or so minutes to "wear down" the opponet...thus their name!
 
Me and buddy was talking about that the other nite Bank. The local media and the university itself should really play the "Elite Eight" angle...They have made a disapointing season fun and interesting!
 
Greenwell & some of the Statesman 'Boyz could use the "Elite Eight" association in their
next issue Bradley writeup...here's their chance to be movers & shakers!
