[February 7, 2024] Indiana State (20-3) vs Valparaiso (6-17)

Blowing teams out improves your NET. No room for error there, hammer down.

I hate any rule/guideline like this where running up the score helps a team.

From their thread

I’m unsure of the makeup of their team - how many seniors with extra Covid year, how many recruited and stayed at ISU, how many are grad transfers, etc

It really puts into perspective how wild the makeup of our team is. A true sophomore, a transfer sophomore, two transfer juniors, and a redshirt junior plus Jabo running the 6th man as a sixth-year. Bring Jabo back as a GA next year and we can completely run it back.

showing my age but what is a "rollabana" ?

We still have MSU AND SIU at their place. I feel like they may be dangerous.

The Trees have ALWAYS struggled to win at those venues

yeah i was afraid to google it on a work computer. But i think it's those signs that roll up inside one another by pulling on them and making them longer

For the last 30 years, I have watched, listened or went to every game. This year is so much different though.....I am thoroughly excited for every game! Can't wait to watch this one tonight. Thanks to this team and coaching staff for making the season so enjoyable!

 

[bigsportsfan]

Let’s just bring the lunch pails and hard hats and get the job done! Roll Trees!

Agree. It's definitely flawed, but we have to take advantage.

Damn straight. When have we ever been in position to take advantage of the NET before. Beat Valpo by a million. Sorry Beacons.

(and then we get to see our bench guys get some minutes too)

What the hell, let's beat everyone left on our schedule by a million!!!

Nevada winning at Utah State last night certainly didn't hurt us...

 

[sycamorebacker]

..but if you listened to Joe Lunardi during the Drake game telecast, he made it pretty clear our only way in is to win in St Louis...or win our remaining games by 20 and lose in 4 OTs in St Louis..he basically said we need to win out with some flare to get an at large should we lose in St Louis..

That's not the way I heard it.

 

[BrokerZ]

Should be a 20+ point win, but those are hard to predict. I don’t see a path to making this a close game for Valpo, but covering a 20.5 spread is asking a lot.

Can somebody get a “We Want Jayden (Schertz) “ chant going tonight!

 

[rsperge]

lets just take one game at a time, whip Valpo, but going out to Missouri over the weekend can be a tough one. We win by 15 tonight.

I've noticed we've used "We Ready" by Archie Eversole to start the last several games. Hope they keep it. That song still gets me pretty hype.

Crowd looks pretty good on the feed.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

We're hedging like these guys shooting 50% from 3. It's getting us out of position.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Under 16 media timeout.

State 10, Valpo 7.
