Birds open at 6.5 point home dogs...

Drexel lost to UCLA by 3 last week. Birds lost by (what felt like) 200 last week.

ISU lost at home 2 days ago. Apparently no one cares.

Was kinda hoping no one noticed.

The Redbirds were competitive against a solid Drexel team. Nothing to be terribly discouraged about here, or frankly against VCU. VCU was a terrible matchup, and let's face it, much much better than ISU. The Rams could have named the score, but they can name the score against a whole bunch of teams.

Solid? They were 13-19 last year

They are preseason 2nd in their conference, and I watched a fair amount of the game and they had players and athletes and got after it on the defensive side of things.

I thought ISU battled well enough. Admittedly, Drexel is no VCU, but they aren't terrible either. All I'm saying is that ISU had some positives to look at after it was over.

All hope isn't lost....yet. I would concern myself, if I were an ISU fan, with the potential of "losing the team" if they can't find some success on the court. That could be a fragile group, and I believe the jury is still very much out on Muller as a head coach.

Don't worry. When the jury reaches a verdict, the AD will allow Muller to keep coaching games, as he alone knows the whole story.
