Game #16

[BirdsEyeView]

We are not a very good team right now. Without McIntosh, we lose both of the last two games. Now, he may be hurt again...

Offense has been very poor. Careless turnovers, bad possessions....just ugly!

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

This.. Hate to see McIntosh go down. Seems like a good kid. Plays really hard and doesn't gloat.

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.

He was Money at the line when it mattered, I'll take the win!

Shox look like the best team tho

Winning ugly is better than losing ugly but they certainly don't seem to be the same team from a few weeks ago. Even without MM, I thought they were playing well. Now, they're really having to grind them out.

We could be 23-6 but we've lost 6 games by 5 or less.

Also won 4 games by 6 or less. Could just as easily be 11-16 vs. D1. It cuts both ways. You are what you are at this point in the season.

Our offense has been really piss poor this last month, however as I posted in another thread, I really hope Loyola and Missouri St are on the other side of the bracket. We don't matchup real well with efficient offenses like theirs.

Oh I know. But we're 0-5 in conference in games by 5 or less. One win by 6 points in conference. Not really saying we're 23-6 material just pointing out stats that are interesting...don't need to put me in my place hahaha everyone's so on edge here.

Wichita is the best team. That's rarely matters in StL.

. I totally agree with your second statement. We've been the best team before and lost in St. Louis. We will see what happens this year but I feel good about this year. Last year, we had more difficulty scoring during the year and in the tournament it continued. This years team has more scoring weapons than the past and while we aren't as good on defense this year, our defense is still good.
