W. 60-51.

I was not happy with a lot of this game.

 

[TreeTop]

Did anyone really “win” tonight?

Fans of good basketball certainly took an L

Wow, can’t even enjoy a win?

 

[Dymotic]

Win is a win. But we've now scored 64/62/60. Someone needs to seriously address the concerns with the offense.

Harding and Alocen give you next to nothing on the offensive end.

Harding is going to get his minutes just out of position and lack of depth (especially if Vorst is out).But you have Alocen running around for 20+ MPG and you essentially are playing with a hand behind your back out there. JVB or Walker should be gobbling up those minutes

Not really

If shooting 40 three pointers in a game, missing 75% of them and not scoring a single basket for the last five minutes is what this team is then there won’t be much joy this season.

Just a brutal game to watch.

 

[Bluethunder]

When we play them again next week, Enel and Walker have to play more

Need their athleticism out there. Harding is not athletic enough to play that many minutes against LaT. too slow, can’t finish.

Our offense looks terrible. No movement off the ball just throwing it around the perimeter. Few cuts to the basket although we have no one who can finish there anyway. Might as well get used to it and hope shots start falling. St.Bernard was very active in his minutes but Walker might as well transfer after this semester since he's apparently not good enough. If we win 12 games I'll be surprised.

 

[Dymotic]

Hopefully the ship turns when Graves is back to 100%. Sless is able to keep the ball rolling, but I dont think he's able to move it uphill.

But I might just be speaking out of my butt because we havent seen any changes to this point.

Yeah, but he had 1 rebound!

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Vorst is back out on the bench

Barely. He will be out multiple games… Kid is asking Santa for a new ankle for Christmas.

TERRE HAUTE, IND. – Indiana State men's basketball secured a 60–52 win over Louisiana Tech on Wednesday night at the Hulman Center, improving to 3–2 on the season.

More...

 

[sycamore_21]

Just finishing second half on replay. We scored 60 pts and won but that’s less than we scored against Duke. Jesus we need to find some offense

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Win is a win. We are going to need to learn to take them as they come… It’s not going to be pretty with this team a lot of times - I’d almost embrace win ugly.

 

[TreeTop]

It was the day before game day and I had to wonder...

Could this be the first game of a legit winning streak for us? Remains to be seen.
Did our team grow up in a hurry playing at CIS? Remains to be seen.
Will we execute good spacing like we did in the early stages of the Duke game? At times.
Will Camp drain three threes but on fewer than 12 shots? 4-10.
Will Markus secure a rebound? Yes, a rebound.
Could Ian have a huge game? Wouldn't call it huge, but hard to argue with a double-double.
Will we see JVB in his first game? Why yes, yes we did.
Will LA Tech shoot better than their 57% average at the free throw line? 55%
Will we shoot better than our 27% average at the 3-pt line? 28.9%
Will our attendance surpass the IIT game? Negative: 4,442.
