[November 28, 2025] Indiana State (4-3) vs Alcorn State (0-7)

[Huff77]

Saw him in the hallway before break and he said 2-3 more games. Who knows though.

 

[WOZ]

Have you seen them practice or are you assuming?

I think their performance speaks for itself.

 

[sycamore tuff]

Right… but once you see live action isn’t that year of eligibility essentially forfeited? It’s been a minute - I forget. I am thinking that is the case and that Sivert has already gotten into a game? If so - he Eli Shetlered himself because I know InState wanted him to redshirt as well.

The coach's kid at iu is in his 6th year. He redshirted last year after playing around 8 games.

Not necessarily.

I was told 3 days before the Charlotte game Sivert was redshirting, so I’m not really sure what happened. If it was a staff decision, they don’t give a shit about their players future. You don’t use a Freshman’s eligibility to play 10 games a year in garbage time.

Tucker was granted a medical redshirt for the 2024-2025 season. Sometimes a player can play, get injured, & NCAA says, "oops, never counted."

Redshirt rules confusing. NCAA should simplify them, but not holding my breath.

Not opposed to medical redshirt, as long as NCAA also gives a kid some slack if they play a few non-conference games & sits remainder of the season. Or do the 4 years of eligibility in 5 idea.

I'm now off my redshirt soapbox.

 

[4Q_iu]

In football the redshirt rule is 4 games in a year. Could see someone sue the NCAA for eligibility at some point and get something similar for basketball.

There are rules regarding the eligibility of players in NCAA Div I??

You MUST be ingesting some "recreational substance..."

 

[Huff77]

Medical reasons is a wildcard. Maybe we play MK against Eureka and he "gets hurt"

La Tech beat Alcorn State by 25 today. God.....we must really suck

La Tech beat Alcorn State by 25 today. God.....we must really suck

Acorn has played a tough schedule. It’s tough to beat a team who beat the team you beat once but also lost to once. Don’t read too deep into it - they’ve had a go of it.

 

[Sycamorefan96]

I asked this on MVCFANS but I'll also ask here.....can anyone recall an MVC team ever losing to a SWAC team ?

La Tech beat Alcorn State by 25 today. God.....we must really suck

Anytime you lose to a SWAC team in anything it means you suck. The SWAC is 11-63 against non-conference D1 opponents so far this year. The MVC by comparison is 44-31. I'm not exaggerating when I say there are D2 leagues that are tougher than the SWAC.

 

[TreeTop]

It was the morning of game day vs an 0-7 opponent and I had to wonder…

Is this the game that causes a meltdown on SP? Justified meltdown.
Or do we win by 20+? No.
When will we see a complete game by our team? Who knows.
How many of our guys will score in double-digits? Not worth looking up.
Is Alcorn battle-tested with their P4-heavy schedule? Perhaps.
What are our strengths? Who knows.
When will Graves return? Not soon enough. But, his safe and full recovery is the important thing.

I was looking for a reason to temper my emotions after that loss

WHO is MK?

WHO is MK?

MK-ULTRA was an illegal mind-control research program that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency operated between 1953 and 1964. The CIA conducted experiments using high doses of LSD and other drugs, hypnosis, electroshock, and sensory deprivation on subjects who often had no idea that they were part of a covert test. The ultimate goal was to find a way to erase the memory and then control the mind as a tool in fighting the Cold War. In his book Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control, author and journalist Stephen Kinzer called the program “essentially a continuation of work that began in Japanese and Nazi concentration camps,” in part because Nazi doctors and others who had worked in those environments were recruited to continue their research as part of the program. Fearing discovery, the CIA destroyed most records of the experiments in 1973, but details of the program later emerged through congressional and journalistic investigations.

ISU Basketball is an experiment to create a new super breed of NCAA Players gone severely wrong.
