And so the grind begins...

 

[ISUCC]

hopefully they make it back ok and get over the jetlag they'll no doubt be suffering from for a couple days. Gonna be important to start out with a win at home vs. a very good ILS team. It won't be easy

I think it'll help that classes are out now, so all we have to worry about is resting-up and practicing for our next opponent. We have to win our home conference games, and we're starting with a doozy. Our confidence should be high right now, and we should know what to expect from a formidable opponent. I see another close game coming; maybe overtime again.

 

[GeoffreyK]

It's gonna be a sucky game with hardly no one there to watch it...

 

[ISUCC]

Illinois State has not won in Hulman Center since February, 2007, no need to let them win this year.

 

[ISU_TREE_FAN]

Team on a flight delay in Phoenix now per several twitter accounts. Not sure what time or day they will get back as of now? Need to get body clocks back in sync from the 5 hr. time difference they have lived in for the past several days and also get prepared for ILSU......another big guy to deal with. Really need to come out with fire and PROTECT THE HOME COURT.

"Sucky"? Seriously?

 

[treeman]

HHUUUUGGGEEE game. you gotta start off the conference season with a W, and it is real nice against one of the top teams this year. a win here will decide a lot of things in february and march.

 

[BankShot]

E-ville is also being tested @ home by Creighton on Saturday...both games could be a viable sign of how much balance or imbalance may be reflected in MVC play this year.

"Sucky"? Seriously?

I'm going to assume he means attendance since students are gone on break.
