It's about 24 hours away from the first game of the second half of the MVC season, and I have to wonder...

Will the Sycamores run the table and make it to the Final Four (of the MVC tourney)?
Will we finish with a .500 MVC record?
Will we win at least 5 more games in the MVC?
Will we somehow avoid the dreaded Thursday Play-In Game?
Will we feed TJ Bell down low more and more?
Will Demonte play more minutes than Paige in the second half of the season?
Will Demonte play more minutes than Franklin in the second half of the season?
Will we defeat Loyola tomorrow?
Will we defeat Loyola in February?
Will we ever have to play the top 3 teams in the MVC twice each in the first half of the season again, ever?
Which Sycamore will we be talking about after tomorrow's game?
How do you take your coffee?
 
"Since Loyola entered the MVC for the 2013-14 season, the Ramblers have not won in Terre Haute. The last time the Ramblers won at Hulman Center was a 77-73 victory during the 1995-96 season." -- If there is a game the Sycamores SHOULD win this may be it? However the bookies say NO.....in another close one they pick the road team vs the home team. No respect; have to earn it to get it.
 
It's hard to have optimism with this team, but today is a great chance to get back in the win column. Loyola is a decent team, but it's a team that we can compete with. No doubt about it - we'll need to bring our A game to get it done. Loyola is a well balanced team with 4 players averaging double figures in scoring and Ingram being in the top-5 in rebounding in the MVC. Milton Doyle, who may be the most overall talented player in the league is finally playing up to potential.

If we actually play some defense, we win.

Of course, having watched on TV some Loyola home games, it won't take much to equal a typical game crowd for them.
But sad, very sad for ISU.
This can't be helpful to the efforts to get the funding for renovation of Hulman Center. Even for the football program/stadium.
Sad.

How bad would ISU's FG% be w/o Bell? :whiteflag:

ISU has 8 TO's in 12 min of PT...wtf? Don't we practice during the week?pissing on the fire!

Make that 9 TO's @ 7:48...talk about pissing on the campfire (to borrow SSOM-type rap)!:lol:

Why bring Murphy back in with 2 fouls and not play Rickman?

Chosen one man..just gotta accept it. Lansing is going to live n die with him..well pretty much just die, but you get the point..

Another thing is we have to learn to move when tj is double teamed. Our guys looked like they shit themselves when loyola did that
