Game #16

[TheObserver]

Illinois State may get the 1 seed in St. Louis but I'm not so sure they're the best team in the Valley.

They aren't.

Seeing Hawkins cocky self throwing up the Manziel money hands after barely surviving Loyola at home just pisses me off knowing that with his record, he would not be on the court for any respectable program. Oh well...hopefully we get another shot at ISUr in STL.

Hawkins is an idiot. Literally. He won't amount to anything after school

I maintain that ISUr won't lose again to one of the bottom 8 teams.

But one team is certainly limping to the finish line while another is leaving no doubt.

I agree. That was amateur hour right there. But with his history, does it really surprise you?

Real gutsy effort by Loyola there. A real good basketball game. If there was about 2 more seconds on the clock and Custer was about 10 feet closer, I think the shot is money.

I thought the last foul call was a bit suspicious. There was some contact but I've seen worse go uncalled.

They may not. But playing like they are they will struggle winning 3 games in 3 days. I don't think they make it to Sunday. Can't be lucky every game

Hawkins may be a thug. But I respect McIntosh. Hope he is OK. This is a tweet:

Richardson 40-footer goes in and out at buzzer as ISU survives, 65-63. But McIntosh hurt right knee on final play. Doesn't look good. https://t.co/mUSXou7tte

Hope Hawkins knows he isn't making money in the pros. Its much easier to cut players who constantly make stupid decisions when there's money at stake. Just a disgrace as a player. Glad he'll be gone. Sucks Paris Lee and Willis have to be lumped in a class with him. Those guys seem like class acts.

Great game, but second time this year we've been hit with that after UNI. All the big time players showed up. We got killed on the boards which should be addressed as our next freshmen class comes in and develops. Sucks but that's how it goes. Of all the close games we've lost The last two years we're really due for some luck. Hopefully it comes next season and we can seal some wins. We could be 23-6 but we've lost 6 games by 5 or less. And I wouldn't put many of them on Porter. Two suspect late fouls, and others involved COLD shooting streaks. Still need to figure out how to win when the shots aren't falling tho, which ultimately is on the coach.

Furthermore (and I really don't think it's just sour grapes) I don't see anyway ISU is the best team in the valley. I think LU's starting 5 can hang with any team. WSU was able to grind us out with depth, ISU didn't have any which let our guys keep pushing back and gave us a real chance (they even allowed for Satterwhite to finally really flash). I don't see how ISU could have close to the legs WSU will have after 3 days in STL. Just me tho, hopefully they can still snag an at large by winning out.
