This MBM has women's season tickets and you get a parking pass for that lot. For the men's games? Oh hell no. I'm six blocks away on the street.

HoosierPal Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Well, I guess the bad news that we all can accept is that after a 2 OT game and a game Saturday, Coach won't put the team through much of a practice on Friday. He said that Thursday will be 'mental', meaning mostly video study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a handicap sticker you use to be able to apply for a special waiver pass to park there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my post....we can all accept this. Not a big deal. Ford said on this radio show that he tries to put in new plays for every opponent. I'll enjoy whatever is happening, but I won't be disappointed if it's just a shoot around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal; all due respect, but I think you might change your mind on Friday. You do not do what these guys did last night, without very hard-nosed practices. I've witnessed Coach Ford's practices on many occasions and believe me, they will work them out good on Friday! They will also be jazzed with all the visitors... I hope a lot of guys on here show up!! ps: helluva game last night, toughness, grit, and passion on full display. That game was (I hope) testimony enough about the way this team does practice!

wgstl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just to clarify, will this be played on the practice courts or on the Main court? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the practice courts. That is where they held them last year (before the Puerto Rico (?) trip). If enough fans show up that the practice courts can't hold them, that is a good problem.

SpartanBilliken Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looking forward to hearing thoughts on how the transfers look. Granted, it's practice, but will be fun/interesting to read everyone's thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Graves looked good. Very quick and a good outside shot. There was some confusion since he's listed as #2 on the roster but was wearing #0 today. I think Bess was wearing #2 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
