We win this and we're back in the At Large talk. Lose....and really, not that big a deal to lose the #4 team in the country.

FREAKIN' WIN!
 
any word on the promotion of this game to get butts in the seats? We shouldn't need it, but this is Terre Haute. I say, they should do a buy one get one deal. Whatever it takes to fill the place.
 
I honestly have given up that at large talk....we are now off the radar and winning will only move us close to the second group of "next four out". I just wish the damn winter storm wasn't coming....it will really hamper the crowd. This storm has the potential to be like the crippling ice storm we had a few years ago when the Shockers were in town!

I know I'm in the minority when it comes to optimism for At Large talk, but here's why IF we beat WSU, the talk is still alive.....because we have NO IDEA what other bubble teams are gonna do between now and Selection Sunday. Other bubble teams could absolutely lose a game or two to a 200+ RPI team, which would help us just as much as the loss to SIU hurts us.

So, beat WSU...and keep winning and hope for the best.

Indiana State returns to action on Wednesday, February 5 when they host nationally-ranked Wichita State. Tip-off for the nationally televised contest is set for 8:05 p.m. (ET). All fans are encouraged to wear Blue and there will be a $10,000 halfcourt shot promotion sponsored by the Sycamore Athletic Foundation.
 
Win or lose, I just want to see us play better than we did at WSU earlier. Be nice to bring the 2nd half UNI effort to Hulman Center Weds.
 
I fully expect it to be a competitive game throughout. Being undefeated at home is something they would like to continue. They are consistent at home and I see no reason why they wouldn't be on Wednesday, unless 5,000 show up instead of 7-8,000+. That might let the "air" out.

I expect them to show up even if the game is played in an empty arena. No more excuses, play your asses off!

I totally agree but I have seen disappointing crowds affect them. I think the crowd will be OK BUT not as many as we would like. I truly believe we can WIN this game~
