ISU vs ISU

[ISUCC]

well, may as well start a game thread.

According to Golden nearly all the tickets are gone as reported in his blog
http://blogs.tribstar.com/downinthevalley/

700 tickets left for the men's game, 1800 left for the women's game. Big question is how many will actually show up and how many will be ISU red fans? Should be interesting.

most ISU red fans think this will be a blowout in their favor, hard to argue with that given the way we're playing these days.

actually the women's game might be a little more interesting than the men's game as both ISU's are
2-0 and sit on top of the standings with Bradley.

Will Larry Bird be at this game as I've heard??

Let's hope the men are as inspired as the women were and come out with the big win tonight.

according to Golden:

Big, big news. Osiris Eldridge will NOT start for Illinois State. He is sick. I don’t know if that means he won’t play at all or if he’s limited. Sead Odzic will start in his place. Oguchi also has been having back spasms, not sure if he'll play or not??

almost game time, lets hope the men do as well as the women today and play a full 40 minute game.

No word on whether Bird is there or not.

Sounds like a big crowd, TG says there are prob. less than 1000 ISU red fans there so far.

 

[ISUCC]

9-8 Indiana St. w/ the early lead

check that INS getting sloppy, ISU red up 14-9 now. Turnovers are rearing their ugly head once again

 

[ISUCC]

INS missing everything, 16-12 ISU red

INS shooting 25% from the field, ugh

 

[ISUCC]

23-22 red leads, Marshall coming to the line after the break, need to hit FT's, they've been a weak spot for ISU recently

Marshall hits both ISU blue leads by 1

 

[ISUCC]

28-23 INS leads, ISU red shooting

makes 1, ISU blue by 4

ISU by 7, Carl Richard is REALLY struggling with his shot.

 

[ISUCC]

Wow, 33-24 INS leads at the half, but as we all know we CAN'T get too excited as we all know ISU has been known to give up huge leads in the 2nd half.

Interesting though.

 

[ISUCC]

well, that didn't last long, 40-40 and red has the ball. I knew this would happen

check that, red leads by 3, ugh, why o why can't ISU keep a lead??

 

[ISUCC]

48-46 red leads, gonna be interesting to see if this game follows the usual ISU trend

 

[ISUCC]

50-48 blue leads, not giving up yet.

 

[ISUCC]

53-50 blue leads, not quite giving up yet.

 

[ISUCC]

That is the question, but hey, the crowd is into it!!
