ISU 68 vs Bradley 75 in Peoria.
Lots of good, relevant comments above. I particularly like those emphasizing winning in the regular season, which is a seismic shift from folks saying only the tournament in STL matters. I never bought that argument.
19-3 on turnovers.
ISU losses are a Whack A Mole Exercise: Which will it be?: poor FT shooting, abysmal 3 Pt shooting, bad rebounding, low overall FG %, Turnovers. Fix one and one or two others pop up.
Joey comments ISU has led at the half in 6 conference games and is 1-5 in those games. Which is it: Good game plan and coaching having an undersized and limited team out front for a half, but the other team can adjust at the half, gain fire and motivation and blow by a less talented team?? Or is it a team that is being outcoached at half time that has the talent to both lead at the half and at the end. I am not smart enough to determine the situation.
Anyway, Ian Scott plays nearly 37 minutes so his number mirror the final result. I don't see how ISU fans can expect any more from him.
Stirling Young has been consistently producing for several weeks, but it seems his minutes are limited below his contribution level now. +9 last night
Xavier Hall played almost 29 minutes and was -15, by far the worst on the team. He did have 7 Assists to 2 TO's, but 1/5 shooting continues to hamper him
Alocen probably hit his season high in minutes. He was -8 in the +/- with his time on the floor with Hall being -12. Not a good pairing last night.
