I think the “too much credence” portion of your comment is where it hits me. It hits me with the comments last week about inheriting a program that was empty and hits me again with the Cooper comments.

It’s the regularity of it… Like he’s belaboring these points and it’s odd to me because when you unpack them it’s really not all that accurate. I don’t think he’s trying to be deceptive. I just think he’s wrong or framing these things incorrectly.

All that said - I’d be being disingenuous myself if I didn’t say that GL himself had directly to me made not so endorsing remarks about Cooper especially early in his career.

I will say this - in a few years we won’t have to worry about him talking about the past or players he inherited. Because he’s going to have a full roster of his own guys so they line of questions will be completely different.
Isn't Neese the only player left from the Lansing era? Larry was recruited but didn't play, I don't think. Two years later and I think two is it unless I'm missing people.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – In front of the largest crowd at Hulman Center this season, the Indiana State Sycamores broke a program record for 3-pointers made in a single season, but it was free throws that made the difference in an 80-64 win against Illinois State Saturday afternoon.

Larry has played since he arrived. COVID year (20-21 season) didn't count against anyone's eligibility which is why he's still a sophomore.

If we're all being honest with ourselves that Trinity Christian game shouldn't count as a win. If you look at our record on the NCAA's NET ranking list tomorrow it will say our record is 19-9, because those games literally don't count for anything other than inflating the coach's win-loss record.

F**K the NET

Should the Trees be playing D2 or NAIA teams? No

But it wasn't an exhibition game - it's a win.

This team is 20-9.

Sycamores 80, Birds 64 is your final.

7th win in a row.

Sycamores now 20-9 and 13-5 in conference.

Props to Neese on his game - his 16 pushed him past Don McDonald, 1,298 pts (1947-50) and Michael Menser 1,301 pts (1997-2001)
Neese stands at 1,302 for his career, currently #16. Next up, #15 Ray Goddard 1,321 (1959-62)

Props to Bledson -- his dozen off the bench pushed him to a bucket (386) behind the great Leroy Staley (388)

Avila's 7 nudged him past Steve Hollenbeck

Props to all of the Trees in securing their 20th win on the year
 
Fun game to be at (4-0 when I attend, fellas...just sayin' :cool: ). As far as Trinity Christian, my understanding is that we had a more prominent game fall thru and State was just looking for someone to fill in that date so we could compete against someone. It's not like they scheduled them a year in advance to pick up an easy dub.
 
Yeah...no one wanted to lose to us...so we had to pick up a game somewhere. We've been completing schedules with non D1 for several years.

So, did I not read that somewhere? I get that we've scheduled games like this in the past (OCU last year), but I thought the TC game was due to another game falling thru?
 
Another double digit win that was never in doubt. Seems like the guys have bought in to the team concept and have put most of the ref chirping in the background and realize how good they can be.

At 130 yesterday, there were lines waiting to get in, been a long time since we've seen that. We went to the Terminal after the game and a line to get in. I mentioned to my wife how good it is for our downtown when we're good. There are so many good things happening downtown and it would be awesome to have crowds like yesterday and bigger every year. On the topic of downtown, stay tuned, there are some big announcements coming up.

GO SYCAMORES!

to add to this, I sure hope ISU realizes they are going to need more people working the concession stands next Sunday, the lines were horribly long at halftime, so I am sure people missed some of the 2nd half if they bothered to stay in line. I expect a big crowd next Sunday, and it will especially big if we win at Belmont.

Yeah I haven’t even bothered with ISU’s concession stand the last couple games. They need more workers or a better system. Something. Because waiting in line for 15 mins isn’t an option for me.

But I’d long concession stand lines are what we have to complain about - things are going really really well!
 
And don’t forget the new Hobby Lobby just opened. Closed Sunday’s my wife informed me of that today. 😂

New store or new location?

Interesting that no one has a problem when stores, restaurants are closed on Sundays but lose their minds when liquor stores and car dealerships are closed on Sundays...
