Gotta take care of the ball. Man. Glad for the win, but gotta limit turnovers.

Listened to the game. Turnovers maddening.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Way to go on the road and pull it out against one of the hotter teams in the Valley.

I'll take every road dub I can get.

 

[SycamoreSuperFan]

Maybe this team isn't finished just yet

 

[March On]

Any W in the Valley (this year) is good for us!

 

[Sycamore Blue]

With this team, I’ll take a win any way we can get it. This team is so unpredictable (good, bad, and everything in between).

11-12 (5-7)
Thumbs first year: 11-20 (4-14)

Way to go Trees!!! Please keep surprising me. In a good way!!!

 

[Dymotic]

Best win of the season.

Big time road win!

Can’t get BU (home) and Valpo games out of my head…we’ve seen some shitty ball this month, but the fact is, we are a couple bounces from being in the top4 convo. Overall, we aren’t too far behind several Valley programs.

 

[RunSyc]

1,354 UIC fans in attendance, according to Joey O. Couple hundred ISU fans.

HCMG gave good post game interview. Likes the team's progression, except for the Turnovers.

I go and leave you guys for a few hours and I come back to THIS......?

Gotta fire up the replay....ANY road win in the Valley is a good thing, but this wasn't on my bingo card....Great job, TREES!!!!

We basically played one really good half of basketball and one pretty bad half of basketball.

If you can bottle up the last 15 minutes of the first half and the first 2 minutes of the second half. The ball moved - we were cutting - we had guys knocking down shots and maybe most of all we were taking care of the ball.

The second we started turning it over - it was like pos. after pos. of mistakes and bad basketball. I will give Graves credit on one things - I thought he really needed to shorten his bench, he was playing too many guys - too many combos. He’s really shortened his bench and rotations of late.

Just watched the replay of the game after only seeing bits and pieces live. My goodness we get our shots blocked a lot. I’m glad we take it to the rim, but we need to stop and shot fake more.

I don't know what happened to Kimani, but he's just awful on both ends now.

Must be why ISU outscored MSU only by 20 in the 27 minutes he played. He was holding the Trees back.

 

[Huff77]

He had a pretty big 5-0 run today. And saw a couple? go down from deep. Need him to get that corner going again.

Like everybody, he’s been up and down. But the last two games he seems to have gotten it together.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Must be why ISU outscored MSU only by 20 in the 27 minutes he played. He was holding the Trees back.

He had a turnover, 3 defensive lapses and 2 bricks in his first 4 minute period where Graves quickly yanked him.

You can be on the floor and be the beneficiary of a positive plus-minus and still play like shit. He did turn it around in the second half for those that actually watched the game. I do know you love, love, love that +/- stat though so you do you, boo.

Maybe this team isn't finished just yet

don't forget we blew an eighteen point lead

 

[bluestreak]

True, but against the hottest team in the league on their home court.... so there's that.
