Great win tonight and just a really good college basketball game. I thought Murphy had a heckuva game tonight especially rebounding. Needs to keep working on his touch around the basket.
 
This team is tougher than any in recent memory. They refused to fold when Butler made it's run and just out hustled them all night. MVS came to play and shot better than I've ever seen. Murphy came in after 2 silly fouls by TJ in the first minute and battled all night long. Paige defended Martin, Cleamons is the glue and Scott is all MVC every night. Great crowd, more students than I've seen for a long time. Amazing how many of them don't have Sycamore blue to wear though. Looks like they believe in themselves, hope this translates into a great conference run. Just a fun group to root for!
 
This team has the potential to be a really good defensive team. I thought Lansing had a good game plan and with the exception of some strange line ups a couple times, coached a good game. after a couple years of testing the waters and putting in his time, I think Lansing is more focused on making this team the best he can and seems to be content on being here. Just seems from his comments, better recruiting and willingness to change styles a little that he may be coming into his own.

Ho Ho Ho!

My girlfriend and I (a Ball State grad) have been dating for several months now this is the first game she has been able to go to with me. I think this was a good first game for her to attend to get a good taste of just how I operate.

Congrats! You deserved to win tonight and were the tougher team without question through out the ballgame. We did have several players that never got off the bus it appeared. Best of luck the rest of the season...

Hope that you don't try to market the wine from those "sour grapes" in Terre Haute. Those players "got off the bus"...they just failed to get out of the street near that statue @ 8th & Cherry and got ran over by a "BIGGER BUS!"
 
Yeah. Lansing has to go. We should have won by ... lol. Awesome win. I have been texting our fight song to my Butler friends . Don't play them again till?? So I figure it's safe to lay it on thick.

While it sucks and pisses me off, I do love thinking "Well...they are never going to play us again."

When Butler went on that 16-2 run, I was all, "Sonuva! Freakin' Butler is going blow this game out of the water."

But tonight proved more than any other night (including Utah State), that this team doesn't quit and doesn't panic!

Feeling so good about the rest of this season.

Brenton Scott can be as cocky as he wants, I love it! (just don't take it one step too far :biggrin:)

Was thinking the same exact thing. Scott's lay-up to stop the bleeding was a HUGE basket and let us get some composure back.
 
Great win guys. This is the marquee win for the MVC so far this year. Its too bad you guys are a combined 10 pts away from being ranked at this point. I'm definitely scared about the 12/28 game to kick off the Valley season. You guys have looked way better than I figured coming into the year (though shouldn't be surprised since that's what Lansing does )

Really welcomed the professional announcers at tonight's game. Lots of games I have to close the audio so I don't have to listen to the juvenile imitation Dick Vitale's or whomever.

Remind me...if it lasts for more than 4 hours is that when you call the doctor? Because I'm well past that.

Yeah, it was a breath of fresh announcing air when color announcer Rich Zvosec referred to our games in the Advocare Invite as our trip out west.

Did his homework.

I also loved it when he referred to the Illinois State vs Tulsa game as the biggest MVC game of the night.

The amount of rustled jimmies by older folks on social media surrounding the court storm is mind boggling to me.
