As this is Lansing's last chance to beat Butler (for awhile), and seeing as he's never beaten them as a head coach...I think this is his year.

We won't win in a high scoring contest.

ISU 69
Butler 65

I'm hoping we get the same effort we got from TJ and Rickman as we did vs USU, and that Kessinger is able to put some sort of stamp (doesn't have to be a huge stamp) on the game.

Contemplating buying a ticket through TicketMaster for tonight's game. If I do, do I pick ticket up at the Will Call Window or print off a ticket.

Thanks!!

The last time I bought off of TM was for the Creighton game and the lines were pretty long with walk ups and not well organized at will call. If time will be an issue, you probably want to print it.

It could easily be higher. From the games I've seen this year, Butler is an excellent team.

I like our team, but we are going to have some weaknesses this year that have to be offset by defense and shooting. Unfortunately, the shooting is not going to always be there.

I'm too lazy to look, but I think we have outshot, by FG%, almost every opponent this year?

A good number. Ball State, UMSL, Iowa State, Stanford, Quin, NIU the 2nd time around and Utah State. The Stanford, Quin and USU games were by tenths of a percentage though.

Overall on the season we're shooting 43.9% to opponents 38.1%. I think Butler will be a different animal compared to anyone we've played though.

I'd like to think that since Lansing is such a Defense guy, that we MAY be a slightly different animal on the defensive end than what Butler has seen.

May and slightly are the key words in that statement.

And yes, I'm aware that when they played Arizona, the Wildcats were ranked 8th in the country.

May and slightly.

Indiana State will be one of the better defenses we've played. In KenPom, you guys have the 61st most-efficient defense. Arizona's is 38th, Northwestern's is 52nd, Vanderbilt's is 82nd and Utah's is 83rd. So, you might be onto something.

Conversely, Butler has the 17th-best defense in the country, the best you guys will have faced to date. :smile:

Looking forward to the game. Very nervous.
 
I'm gonna watch the game on delay (due to some other obligations), so if everyone could wait until about 2 hours after the game has ended to start posting about it here on SP, that'd be great. Thanks.
 
Coach Lansing got a lot of airtime on WNDE this afternoon. Heard him on the drive from the office to the gym and then again two hours later from the gym home. Lots of selling of the program and good questions being asked surprisingly about how he recruits, the close losses, etc.

We look pretty dang good outside of the second chance opportunities we are giving them. If we can get a rebound we would be looking damn good.
