[January 15, 2014] Indiana State (13-3) vs Missouri State (12-4)

Add Demetrius to that and I agree. Silently had another solid solid game!

Certainly not a knock on him. Had a HUGE game - did a number on the glass and showed great energy.

Let two things be known.

1. He aint going to see a much weaker inside game than he saw tonight. He should have had a good game - outside of Gulley they didn't crash the boards.

2. We shoot the rock from deep too much for him to ever be much of a dbl figure scoring threat.

But your correct, he can score and he does it at a high %. But the point about the 5 I mentioned is that they can score it from any place. Not quite ready to crown Moore as a 3pt shooter.

Cummings has played at a really high level all season, he did it all tonight - ran the point and found people, post feeds, steals, dribble drive, dunks and steals!

.

We've done pretty well with juco kids as far as getting one good year out of them. If Walker improved 80% his senior year, Cummings is off the chart. I'm thinking Moore has a lot left in him too.

I don't know. I think it was you who said if the team gave the crowd something to cheer about they would do it. They had plenty to cheer about tonight and just sat and enjoyed it. It may be the seat I am sitting in that makes a difference. It kind of acts like an ejector seat every time one of our guys makes a big play.

Oh that was me... It's just funny reading people post about the crowd sounding dead.

Tough to get amped over a Bears team that is playing without its best player(s) and the fact that we were in total control.

My knock is NEVER going to be about the fans at the game - it's the people NOT coming to games. Some people want to bitch about the people at the games and "how they cheer", go ahead and direct that energy toward the bums in this town who don't come and I will give you a free "like".

Until then... Get off the peoole who are at the games - atleast they showed up and yes, showing up is enough at this point!

i watched the game on ESPN3 and it sounded like the crowd was dead - just like many have said. then i watched the highlights which featured ISU's broadcast and it sounded like a pretty solid crowd for us (yes i know it was the highlights i was watching). it seems as though a lot of people are very impressed with what The Forest is becoming, that's great news and you're just creating a whole generation of die-hards.

To whoever asked, Kitch has been sick the last few days, didn't practice. That's why he barely played today.

I wondered about that. Hope everyone is healthy and ready to go Sat.

Thank you to Lynch and The Forest!

And while this wasn't even the "best" showing by The Forest, and it was still more students than ever showed up at a game I attended as a student in the nineties.

You know friends and neighbors....... How in the hell can the students or Haut'ns not come out and support this team???? My god they are good!!!

The HC att. should be over 9000 each game!!!!
