You must not have read the posts that proclaimed how bad our coaches and players are?

LOL! So true.

Either way lets just let the games play out and see how we end up. We still have some really tough games left on our schedule I don't think any expectations are really fair. We play 2 teams that we have already been beat by (SIU & WSU) and play respectable IL State and UNI teams on the road. It is not out of the equation that we lose all 4 of those games.

True... the road doesn't get any easier.
 
I'm usually a very positive guy, especially with ISU basketball. I try and keep things in perspective and look at the bright side in all ways possible.

Buuuuuut...if we lose this game I will be calling the Hulman Center demanding my money back on my Arch Madness ticket order. There will be zero excuses or logical reasons for us losing this game. I don't care if it's on the road, blah blah blah. We are better than Bradley and need to show it with a win. No moral victories are possible here - only a tangible win will do.

Get it done!

This game is the least of my worries. I think you can relax.

Very Well Stated. Get it done !!!
Turn your scorers loose and make your defenders defend. We have 2 of the Conference's top scorers in Brown and Scott. And probably THE top defender in Smith, along with one of the Conference's top rebounder in Clemons.

It's a very simple formula. Give the ball to Scott and Brown on the offensive end. Make your role players play their roles. Lockdown on defense and get the victory.
 
Both games left with Bradley, this Saturday and Sycamore Senior Night in three weeks. A loss in either of the two games would be INEXCUSABLE.
Taking a look at the Braves: 3 Wins - 21 Losses ......they opened the season at home and beat Ball State 54-53, then lost 9 in a row. Won at home vs Maryville ? 61-53, then lost 6 in a row. WON ON THE ROAD AT LOYOLA ! 54-53, and now on another 6 game losing streak. It will be difficult to get up for this team BUT show up flat and could lose either or both games?

lose this game and we will be in the talk for a Thursday night appearance. That isn't gonna happen though, Sycs win this one comfortably by 15+.

This is a game that the dogs should be turned loose, and the team encouraged to put a 30 point beatdown on them. None of this "don't run the score up" crap. We need to come out and pound them into the sand, and then pound then into the sand some more.

We need to do this for our team's mental state - to prove that we can. No disrespect to Bradley, Lord knows we've been in their shoes. But we need to show that we can dominate someone. And I mean dominate! And this is our best chance to do it.

This team needs a "No More Mr. Nice Guy" attitude. We're too nice. We need to become a little nasty.

Guys --- TWO things almost insure either an ISU defeat or another of our played awful, but somehow pull it out at the end "wins" (which many of you will proclaim "a win is a W and that's all that matters" -- not the way winning programs like WSU look at things) ----------the TWO things:

1) Lansing goes on JMV's radio program

OR

2) Comment after comment on this site about how we're going to finally "Blow these guys out" because we're soooooo much better than them.

Anyone else notice these correlations ? ? ?
