Loyola returning top 6 players - But prognosticators aren't impressed as Ramblers are picked for 9th in Horizon League

Loyola won their only exhibition game against Robert Morris 88-71. RMC is a NAIA school out of Chicago. Looks like Loyola hammered them in the 1st half pretty good.

Definitely concerned about this game...true road test early should prove to be a challenge for the Syc's.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Score predictions anyone?

Sycamores 73
Loyola 61

Lathan: 21 pts 5 rbs 2 st
Kelly 15 pts 3 rbs 5 ast
Walker 10 pts 6 rbs

That's all I got... Sycamores play well in the season opener! Get emm fellas!

 

[gostate03]

Have they played yet tonight? Just wondering how they looked and how everyone who is up there thinks we will match up?

 

[Little Eddie]

Bumping this to the top so we can use this for the game thread later...Loyola beating Eastern Ky with ease should cause some concern. The boys better be ready to get after it today.

I'm really excited for this game. It will definitely be a challenge and it will be nice to see how the guys react to this true road test. It sounds like Walker will need to be tough down low and we need Richard to keep up the rebounding. We also need Lathan to step up big offensively, but he too can help us big time with rebounding. Let's go boys!

Shouldn't the title say, Indiana State 1-0 now?

That really isn't a big deal, Landrus. We know we got the win.

This is going to be a very difficult game. I expect D-Late to have a much better showing tonight than last night. Hopefully, the rebounding wasn't a fluke against a smaller, less talented team. I'm not optimistic, which is a switch for me. Hopefullly, we can pull out the "W".

Perhaps the defensive performance last night was better than we first thought. Pretty impressive, when comparing the two scores, but you really can't get much out of comparing scores...different teams, different night.

Looks like a great feed for the game - full screen and ready to go!

Nice music for a little bit there too...a little jam session...sounded like Concrete Blonde or something.

the Ducks snuck out a win last night didn't they?
