[December 28, 2011] Indiana State (9-2) at Drake (7-4)

[Jason Svoboda]

Drake shooting 73% in the 2nd half. We need to quit talking about this great Sycamore defense.

Drake misses FT. Misses 2nd too. 65-47 Drake. ISU ball. 7:40 left.

DL misses a 3 and Odum fouled scrambling for a loose ball. FTs coming. Gant is on the floor for RJ.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Odum hits 1st. Odum hits 2nd.

65-49. 7:30 left.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Rice hits Gant and no charge called. good. 67-49.

DL scores. 67-51. 6:55 left.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

DL guarding Rice now.

Printy boards miss. Printy misses 3. Carl pokes it out.

This loss only hurts if Drake can't do it again to UNI, Creighton or the Shockers.

Respectfully, and strongly, disagree. I don't give a rat's rump that it's a road game. No way should we lose to Drake if we intend to be an elite team in the MVC. I rarely chime in like this, but Indiana State's play tonight has just pissed me off. Here's hoping we go on a monumental run in the last 7:00.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Printy is 0-5 from 3 tonight. 6:10 left.

DL blocks Rice out of bounds. 5:59 left.

McWhorter in for JP.

Drake lays it in. 69-51.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

[Sycamore Proud]

Somebody needs to wake me up. This has to be a nightmare.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Rice drives and is fouled. Carl whistled. 4:20 left.

Rice hits 1st. Kitch in for Gant. Hits 2nd. 73-51. 4:15 left.

[Jason Svoboda]

Timeout on the floor. FT coming after break.

 

[interested bystander]

Very one sided officiating.

 

[ISUCC]

this is EMBARRASSING....I mean really, I can see losing on the road, but down by 22 points to DRAKE?? good lord. they have flat out killed us.

Would have liked to have seen a better effort tonight than what we witnessed here.

Good thing we got Bradley coming to town Saturday.

Very one sided officiating.

If both sides are complaining that usually means it's right down the middle. I don't know though. I can't see the game.

 

[SycfromBirth]

I would have started the full court press at the 10 minute mark, not the 3 minute mark. (yes, I know that hindsight is 20-20)

Saturday a must win now??? Now that it wasn't before but after this I'd say it is.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

McWhorter misses the FT. No effort to go after the board.

First time we've pressed that I recall.

Drake walks down the lane and hits. 75-55.

Carl misses back-to-back shots.

DL steals pass. Drives and is fouled. 2:40 left. Hits first. Hits 2nd. 75-57.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Drake calls a timeout after ISU almost comes up with a steal.

Indeed.

 

[SycfromBirth]

a note from another MVC game--MOSU is up 7 at Creighton with 4:43 left

 

[bent20]

If anything, hopefully this is the wake up call the team needed right off the bat.
