[January 10, 2012] Indiana State (10-5) vs. Evansville (7-7)

[ISUCC]

Why weren't the players who got us the big lead not playing that much in the 2nd half, we had a good thing going when we were up 9 there before halftime when other players were in.

Regardless, it's a MUCH NEEDED win, now win @ SIU and we're 3-3.

 

[Sycamore Proud]

Glad to get the win BUT why can't these guys put a team away......especially on our home court?

For whatever reason I don't see that happening much if at all this year. We better be satisfied with the W. The ugliest of W's is much better than the prettiest of L's. Does a pretty L exist? I don't think so.

I had the same question. Very happy with the win...especially the way things have gone the past couple of games...but Good god boys - Go for the throat!

Glad to get the W, good job guys!

Very difficult to do the way the officiating was tonight. Rarely would I blame them for anything, but they get all the blame tonight. Several calls didn't go our way, I wouldn't expect to get some of the calls on the road, but at home? Trust me, when your not getting calls and UE (especially Ryan) is allowed to get away with what he was allowed to get away with tonight it's very difficult to put a team away. What more do you want the Sycamores to do? We were 23 of 26 from the line in the game - Evansville was 22 of 25 so it's not like they (UE) played terrible. I mean credit UE, they got some calls and hung around - did all the right things, only turned the ball over 13 times. Most nights, that's good enough to win.

Odum = 15, 7, 5 and 3 WOWZERS! 8 of 8 from the FT line, excellent!

JP - held scoreless in the last 28 minutes of the game, just FYI - he does that all the time though.

Eitel - 22 mins. off the bench with 12 points. Probably the difference maker in the game. 29 total points off the bench is pretty solid.

Also, Lathan and Steve combined for great D on Colt Ryan who is usually a Sycamore killer. He got away with a lot tonight on pushing off and such, but the guys kept fighting and kept a hand in the face.

Yes, regardless...but great observation ISUCC. I can name two...Kichell and Gant who helped turn things around.

Also if someone doesn't recognize the fans for coming out I'm going to flip. Great crowd? Not really - Great crowd considering we have lost 2 in a row and one of those games at home? Absolutely! They also had good energy most of the game - BOOOOOIng the turrble refs and standing up when the players asked for it!

Always wanna be negative about the crowd and people of Terre Haute showing no support. Let emm hear it when they show up!

Golden said attendance was 6790 tonight

And coming off 2 losses - 1 at home that is a HUGE win in my mind! I will take what I can get, it was a solid crowd!

You can always find negatives. I was extremely happy with our performance tonight. We finally showed up and played hard. I mean we played really hard. I think Eville is better than what their record shows. And I hate when people use refs as an excuse but, c'mon man, they were terrible. I about $&@? My pants when they called that flagrant on rj. Great job guys. Eitel has been a different player these last two games. Finally showing confidence. Loved the use of Gant, kitchell, and rj. Our offense was active and we played some up tempo transition offense. Props to Eville.

 

[Sycamore Proud]

I'm really glad to hear good things about the crowd. Good spirit and good numbers.

 

[pbutler218]

I agree SSOM! Good turnout considering the results from the previous few games. Kudos to them!!!!

Yeah I don't like to use them as an excuse either - ever really, that's an out and I don't like to give teams outs. But tonight - I think the Sycamores deserve an out. EU got calls but EU is also a good team and we beat them and the officials tonight!

Who is this EU team? We played well...

 

[state13]

Didn't get to make it to the game tonight regretfully, only 2nd time this year, but it looked like a great crowd on tv. Loud and supportive, especially after how we've played. Ive been down on and said some negative things Bout the folks from th, but I hope they continue to prove me wrong. Awesome

 

[TreeTop]

I had to follow via Live Stats. Gant anf kitchell didn't get much floor time in the 2nd half did they?

This is for you Chief...I didn't get to see or the hear the game either unfortunately.

Go to 42 seconds in for a DIME by Odum.

Lets get a good win streak going again now!!!!!!

You know what I mean - let's stay on topic...

Moving on now, the Sycamores have shown the ability to bounce back. Someone brought it up last week (tell us who you were because it was a great point) the Sycamores lost 5 games in a row During conference play last year minus a loss in the bracket dumpster - we lose 2 games in a row here this year and people (myself) get crazy! lol
