[December 18, 2025] Indiana State (7-4) vs Bradley (7-4)

[TreeTop]

It's the day before our first MVC game day and I have to wonder...

Why can't the NET 188 team beat the NET 135 team at home?
Will this be our first home attendance over 5,500?
Is Bradley really as good as they think they are?
Or are they just another team made up mostly of portal transfers still trying to find themselves?
Are we truly a better rebounding team than them?
Should we be worried about the 191 turnovers their opponents have totaled?
Or worried that they've only totaled 116 turnovers themselves?
Could this game come down to our 74% FT vs their 72% FT?
How much will they rely on Jaquan Johnson?
Is it a good sign that their opponents shoot 35% from three?
Which of our guys will we be talking about after this game?
How many dogs will perform in the halftime show?

Not feeling too confident about this one, not sure why. It’ll be great to have Coach back, that should give the team a boost. Hoping for a good crowd!

 

[Sycamore Blue]

I have two lower bowl tickets available for tonight in Section 102, Row D.

Family is sick with the flu and we won’t be attending tonight.

Tickets are free and I want them to be used. I will transfer them to whoever claims them through Ticketmaster.

We are sick with the Flu over here too… Both of the boys and me got FluA.

It’s miserable. Get well soon!

FluA struck our house too. It's been a rough couple of days. You get well soon! Hopefully everyone is well enough to enjoy Christmas!

It seems like everyone has been getting sick where I work. I was sick for about 5 days a few weeks ago after going out to the bars with some friends on Wabash, but I don't know that it was the flu. I'm just hoping I don't catch something again. Probably a good reason to stay home tonight and this weekend.

It may just be perception, but I don't feel like we have played Bradley very well since Wardle became their coach.

23-24 notwithstanding…

Game is on local regional TV tonight as well. I miss when WTWO used to carry games (especially away ones)

 

[Powerhouse]

I dislike Wardle so much I hope we wack Bradley he always seems like he thinks he’s the best coach around

Killed the crowd though. Should be in ESPN+.

 

[ChargeOnToTheHilltop]

Enjoy the game tonight, Sycamore fans. I think it could definitely go either way. (Couldn't disagree with you more on Coach Wardle, but I guess that's the fun of a conference rivalry. )

Wardle is very full of himself

It’s the haircut. He has the most arrogant haircut a man sport

 

[RunSyc]

I respect him as a competitor.
Understand the comments, though, his teams play tough & with a swagger.

 

[sycamore_21]

Doubt it. Not on in TH

Killed the crowd though. Should be in ESPN+.

In every inspirational sports movie about the plucky underdogs, the coach of the "bad guy" team has the Wardle haircut

Reasons for not coming to the game;
Its too cold
Its too hot
Its raining
Its snowing
Its too far to drive
Too much traffic
Too far to walk
The colts are on tv
The colts lost, too depressed
The colts won, too drunk
My IU hoodie is in the wash
