Sycamores will have to match Aces’ toughness
Todd Golden The Tribune-Star
TERRE HAUTE — Indiana State men’s basketball coach Greg Lansing has an enduring respect for the toughness Evansville coach Marty Simmons coaxes out of his Purple Aces. So as ISU makes a trip to Evansville tonight, how do you get the same toughness out of the Sycamores? One way is have strength coach Dave McManus bring his bag of tricks to practice on Friday at Hulman Center. The contents of the bag that was there for the Sycamores’ benefit? Boxing sparring mitts. And McManus has more than enough brawn with which to use them. Lansing had McManus test the will of ISU’s post players. McManus stood under the basket, with sparring mitts on both hands.................................................................................
There is no difference between basketball and life. Give both your best and ignore the "fans" on the sideline.
