[December 7, 2016] Indiana State (4-4) vs #16 Butler (8-0)

For the old timers out there, when was the last time we had a true scorer like this? I'm sure Marty Simmons is kicking himself for not landing this kid.

I would say Carl Nicks or Menser. He's pretty unique for us. I knew that when I saw him at the Top 40. None of our recruits in the Top 40 have come close to him as a scoring guard except Menser. Menser could have scored much more if he had not played with Renn, Green, and Block.
Of course, I saw JO drop almost 40 against Ben Davis and Carmel, but he did that without shooting. :lol:
Obviously, JO was primarily a PG.

I saw that too and was very annoyed.

Looks like they updated their error...

I also believe Lansing has now tied Hodges' in "Wins vs Ranked Opponents"

The 1978-79 team (Hodges) went 3-1 vs. ranked teams

The 1980-81 team (Hodges) went 1-0 vs. ranked teams

The 1981-82 team (Hodges) went 1-1 vs. ranked teams

Perhaps the discrepancy is between the Coaches' Poll and the Media Poll...

At the end of the day, today's Star seems to screw up far more than in the past... at least when it comes to ISU and the Fightin' Trees...

I was listening to a few minutes of Dan Dakich today and his guest was Kelan Martin. At the end Dakich asks him if he could choose a team to play at the end of the year for the national championship, who would it be. His answer, Indiana State! Dakich was obviously surprised. Glad they left the Haute upset about that loss. Would be nice for our guys to get back to playing the way we did against Butler.

Yeah as much as I would be OK with Playing Butler for a national title we've already poved we are better than them. On to better things.

Give me Tom Izzo's Michigan State's Spartans. We owe them and the headlines would be much better. Plus I just don't give a damn about butler.

If only our own guys showed having that nasty taste of defeat in their mouth bothered them that much! Love that comment as a competitor.
