You could just tell in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd half....we looked like we just walked out of Golden Corral with bellies full..we looked like we needed a nap whereas Belmont came out with fire in their eyes.

If HCJS had thrown mops and brooms in the locker at half demanding a 30 point win.(because down deep he knows Belmont is going to make a run and wants us to be ready for it)..do you think we would have given up a 17 point lead in 7 minutes??...just saying.

He said on the radio he had to take Robbie out when they went to five guards. Why can’t we keep him in and take advantage of the mismatch? We need to dictate what other teams do instead of the opposite.
When they missed that FT and grabbed the offensive rebound that killed is. Would have been nice to have Robbie in the game at that moment. The guy went right over Kent.
 
I did think it was fun that Hunter Golden Tickle was trying to hype up the Gibson start after a stretch of really good ball vs pretty dreadful teams.

He proceeds to give us absolutely nothing in 3 fouls and missed the front end with the game on the line. I mean you have one job to do - come in and ice the game and you can’t do it. Been pretty critical of some of Lansings transfer adds and rightfully so - but that was a big moment for that dude and we got zero from him tonight.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Indiana State's win streak came to a close in heartbreaking fashion Wednesday night at Belmont as the Sycamores fell 89-88 to the Bruins inside Curb Event Center. Indiana State (20-10, 13-6 MVC) used a 10-0 run in the first half to lead Belmont (20-10, 13-6 MVC) by 17 points at halftime, but it came down to the final seconds of the game when the Sycamores were called for a controversial foul that sent Belmont to the line for a pair of game-winning free throws with two seconds on the clock.

It was less than four hours from tip-off and I had to wonder...

Can we defeat an upper-tier MVC team on the road without Mr. Cam Henry? Not this time.
How many days are involved with a concussion protocol? It was announced he'll play on Sunday.
Or does it vary depending on the severity of the collision? I don't know, but probably.
Which team averages more three-point attempts? ISU.
Between the two teams, could we see more than 55 three-point attempts? Yes.
More than 60? No.
More than (ahem) 65? No.
What's the MVC record for the most three-point attempts in a game, in total? I don't know.
Who will score more points, McCauley or Sheppard? Sheppard.
They average 75.3 points, we average 78.9, will we see more than 154 points scored tonight? Yes.
Can Larry eclipse the 100-assist mark for the season tonight? Yes.
Can he eclipse it with relative ease? Define "relative ease".
How raucus will that Belmont student section be? And will the rest of the Curb have lots of empty seats? Pretty raucus. 2,364 out of 5,085, less than 50% filled.
With all due respect to this person doing the radio color commentary, but...who is Jim Tribble? Martin said he handled stats for the radio broadcast.
And will @swsycamore ever get that six-pack of THBC Sycamore Cream Ale? No.
