IS makes the extra pass and doesn't bail on their offence.

They actually have an offense

Oh that was sexy.

[Soderball]

Let's go trees! ROLL UP THAT BRINKS TRUCK DR C!

[brianstl]

This has really turned into a fun game 

[Soderball]

Avila has got nice skills. The Hi-Lo back cuts are some nice play calling and coaching.

I like how Schertz believes in the second half comeback as opposed to Ford’s belief in the second half collapse.

Ford really did buy into the second half collapse, gotta admit thats 

[almaman]

I forgot that coaches can say things at half and possibly change the trajectory of games in the second half

15 point swing to ISU lead this half

Looks like we’ll have to wait until Monday at least.

ESPN+ doing NIT right this year tons of our sh*t conference league mates, good warm up for the next for days of pure sportz fan heaven coming up.

[Soderball]

This is a great basketball game. Love what Schertz is running. No quit, playing hard.

[Lord Elrond]

This isn’t over yet

Good crowd at the Hulman Center in Terre Haute

It’s like the crowd at an Irish wake. They have to know it’s an end of an era if they lose.

Refs very confused these last few minutes

I'm on my meds as I'm awake so maybe dumb ? but have we ever been in same situation as the poor tree lovers x da ol' Wabash? Spoon kind of I guess

[Lord Elrond]

18 points better than SMU in the second half. I guess this guy knows how to make adjustments at halftime. That’s quite a change from what we’re used to…

[Soderball]

I liked schertz's calm 2nd half demeanor.

[HoosierPal]

ALL THINGS HOOSIER!  Good stuff Sycamores.  Keep rolling into Hinkle.  

 

[Bay Area Billiken]

Trees win 101-92.

That was good coaching and a darn good team.  Schertz switched to a zone, which slowed down SMU, then the Ponies missed shots.  ISU-Blue Offense, when it's clicking looks like poetry in motion.  I love the back doors on feeds from Avila.

Minnesota at Indiana State this weekend.  I'm afraid this is going to take a while, my friends.

[Bay Area Billiken]

Power 5 overlords literally stole $2M minimum from that ISU-Blue team and its Valley partners.  There is no way from here to Pluto that awful Virginia team should have been in the NCAA ahead of Indiana State.  That was the very Power 5 conference slotting the Committee claims does not happen.  Right, and we'll take bids on the Golden Gate Bridge too.

[Soderball]

This is almost as good as watching them in Billiken jerseys. Team Blue for just a little longer?

 

This is magic and I want this in Chaifetz.

You're back, BAB.

Also screw the big 10. Time to go Caddyshack on the gophers.

Do you know what gophers can do to a golf course?

Avila can't guard athletic big men underneath.  Defense will need to be better. But gutty win from Sycamores.  I was pulling for them.  Good crowd.

I feel for the ISU fans worked up over all this but they hired away a coach who brought a player with him from Lincoln Memorial.  Plus they have multiple transfers.  This is how it is now.  Maybe it'll work out for SLU for once.  A few demonizing the Chaifetzes they wish they had a Chaifetz.
