[January 4, 2025] Indiana State (8-6) at Evansville (5-9)

[Darth Sycamore]

Poor performance by the players and the coaching staff.

*this is pointed at some absolute head scratching decisions by our staff

JD with the 3 point runner… about through it to Bicknell

 

[bigsportsfan]

Announcer just said it was an entertaining half of basketball.

 

[treeman]

I'm nitpicking but here because he is one of the only ones showing up. But JD you HAVE to get that ball to Wagner there to end the half.

 

[BlueBleeder]

I honestly don't know what to say. That was one of the most lazy, half-hearted looking, poorly played half of basketball i have seen in a very long time from a Sycamore team. What the actual fu@% are we doing?

 

[Fife]

We are slow with ball movement...easily defended. And the turnovers continue to kill us.

And it has nothing to do with the opponent either. Evansville is not making us look bad. We’re making us look bad.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

If they run out Teel and Legree together in the 2nd half, I'm going to lose my shit.

Teel or Legree
Bruno or Camp
Camp or Walker
KD
JD

I absolutely agree. Just pathetic that this was the effort we have given so far.

 

[CoachShipp]

Gonna see A LOT of zone vs. STATE this year…

 

[BlueBleeder]

If you just shoot poorly that's one thing, but we look absolutely lost on D and O today. Very poor movement, bad spacing, just abysmal passing and way way way too much standing.

Agree, but JD does like to shoot…a lot

In all fairness - that combo has looked good for us at times this season. Today, not so much. But for whatever reason both of those guys are playing really dumb basketball today.

When they are both getting in the lane, creating, seeing the floor and taking care of the ball they are dynamic on the floor together because they can both get in the lane and dare I say, touch paint.

Agreed but sometimes matchups just aren't there. I hope they've clued in that they don't work against this Aces group.

You mean UCONN right

 

[Blue Streaker]

Graves is more animated behind closed doors…I’m not sure the locker room is going to be pleasant. Reports were practice yesterday was good. What is the cause of this poor performance?

To be “more animated” would literally take no effort…

 

[BlueBleeder]

Much better D and O on the first possession

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Nice late foul there. Waiting to see if it went in, eh?
