well, here we are again, one year later in the EXACT same position ISU was in a year ago. A 4-1 start in the MVC, followed by 2 road losses, and a home date with Evansville.
Last year ISU lost that EU game and then proceeded to lose 3 more games in a row before winning against UNI at home, then losing the rest of it's games until beating Ill. St. in the MVC tourney.
In some way I think this game now becomes even more important than the SIU game at home. If ISU wins here, there at least should not be a long losing streak and the guys will have some confidence before hitting the road for the next 2 games.
However, should they lose? Ugh, I don't want to even dwell on it. Let's just hope for a great crowd and a win Weds. night.
The Evansville release is out, nothing on the ISU site.
