I'm expecting a big time atmosphere.

And why is that???

 

[Bluethunder]

And why is that???

You beat me to it. Was going to ask the same thing.

You beat me to it. Was going to ask the same thing.

I seen a post where Tyreke was cleared to play.

 

[TreeTop]

And why is that???

Sarcasm.

 

[Bluethunder]

Well that's a start.

Good to hear he is feeling ok.

 

[Bluethunder]

Anyone want to bet we will have a smaller crowd than what Loyola had when we played there?

Haha! Thank goodness that will not be the case. I was at the Loyola game.

When you consider the populations of Chicago and Terre Haute a crowd of a few hundrred could compare to a SRO sellout in the windy city.

We might have a couple thousand show up if we're lucky. I kind of expect us to have bad crowds the rest of the season, but I'll still be there. The key to the game, and really every game for us is not having a bad start. If we can at least stay even with them the first 5 minutes of the game I think we have a 50/50 chance of winning. If we're losing 7-0 (or similar) again early then we're in trouble. Missouri State wasn't good, we were just that bad. Besides the first few minutes and the last couple of minutes of the game we really played pretty even with them throughout the game. We just couldn't ever close the gap after we dug ourselves a big hole early.

Tyreke has been cleared from the concussion protocol and has returned to practice. He will play today.

This is good news as we really missed him versus MSU. We’ll need all hands on deck today.

 

[meistro]

Late notice, but I have two extra tickets down low in section 105 if anybody wants them, message me.

 

[krwilson2]

TK is a big part of the game. Hope he still drives it to the hole hard. Anyone else fear the backcut today?

 

[treeman]

Just some fun things to keep an eye on today:

Jordan Barnes is currently tied with Michael Menser with 92 3-pointers made. 1 more for Barnes will give him the single season record.

Brenton Scott currently has 1,692 points. 8 more points will give him 1,700 on his career.

Jordan Barnes has hit 21 consecutive free-throws (hopefully didn't jynx him)

Something else to keep an eye on the remainder of the season:

Brenton Scott needs to hit 21 3-pointers to tie Michael Menser for the career record.

 

[treeman]

They are just so much better on the offensive end than we are. We are lucky they have missed 2-3 give-mes other wise they'd already be blowing us out.

JB off to another slow start at home..shocker

 

[BrokerZ]

Wow our shooting is atrocious right now.
