Redbirds at Aces

Maybe you could kick him in the face to get revenge?

Or throw something at him from your seat in the crowd?

You might want to focus on Thursday before thinking about Saturday

You might want to pay attention to the MVC games on 2/27 when ISU-R beats MSU, CU beats BU, and InSU beats Drake to clinch staying out of Thursday for the Redbirds. Also, to quote Gregg Marshall, I saw strange things in ISU's loss to Wichita State on Sunday at Redbird Arena and it was a conspiracy that the Shockers won. I also imaginarily barged in the post-game press conference to reenact Marshall's antics from last year.

In addition, pay attention on Saturday of Saint Louis when the Redbirds defeat the Shockers and on Sunday when the Redbirds defeat the Bluejays to earn a trip to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 years. Oh and about the "kick". Here's what happened. Tekele Cotton ran into Jackie Carmichael's foot and flopped to the ground. So much for a kick. More like a flop for ramming into Carmichael's foot and flopping to the ground. Nice acting job, Tekele Cotton has been admitted to the drama class of the highest caliber and Marshall has been admitted to the class of whiners. Congratulations.

Wow, these last two losses must've stung.

This may be one of the Top 3 worst posts I've ever seen on here and that's saying A LOT.

15 years? LOL.

Not really much of a sting actually knowing we will still avoid Thursday after all the favorites win on 2/27: ISU-R, ISU-B, and CU. The WSU loss was actually good for us to add fuel to the fire to win when it actually matters at Arch Madness. Truth is the game in Normal means nothing and the game in Saint Louis means everything. We are looking forward to a reenactment of Arch Madness Saturday again this year. And the 15 years will be erased on March 10, 2013 after an Arch Madness championship victory, so no point in concerning yourself with that.

I was actually enjoying arguing with the ISU fans, but now they're just being silly. I hope this thread's just getting trolled now >=)

So, how about those Aces?

Now I will move on to the topic of discussion for this thread. Evansville handed the Redbirds their largest margin of defeat in conference play thus far. That says a lot about the Aces to be able to do this in the midst of the Redbirds' hot streak and is a testament to how well they play at home, especially. But what better time to snap out of their road woes with a win at Wichita State Wednesday night!

Not too sure what the deal is with the difference in their play between road and home. Fact of the matter is the Aces really didn't play a poor game at all up in Normal in late January as they lost by single digits and had chances to win in the final minutes. Also, combine this with the fact that this game took place after the Redbirds 0-6 streak had concluded when the Redbirds began to get it together with a 3-game winning streak. The Aces are more than capable of winning in Wichita to sweep the Shox. Just need to channel that Ford Center play and take it to the road.

I actually think we have an excellent chance to beat WSU in our next road game. It's the 2nd road game against WSU that worries me. I'm thinking we'll knock off Wright St. this weekend, but not nearly as confident about Wichita St. While it would be nice to go on a run now, I just don't see us pulling the upset in Wichita......senior night, chance to clinch, normally crazy atmosphere probably gonna be kicked up several notches......oh yeah and a pretty damn good team too.

I like Evansville this year, and I think Colt is a beast. But I'd be really surprised if Evansville can pull it off in Wichita. WSU is a very good home team (two home losses in last two seasons), and there's a lot on the line, plus the revenge factor.

I don't think it's an insult to Evansville or really up for debate that WSU is the better overall team, so for the Aces to win they're going to need WSU to play sloppy (again), or Colt's going to have to play like he did against Illinois State again. Which is possible. He had a pretty damn good game against us last time out.

I just don't want to see 20+ turnovers from us again, win or lose. I don't mind if we lose because Colt scores 40 and shoots 100%.

I actually think UE has a legit shot at this game. Remember last year UE played Creighton on their senior night and put up 43 in a overtime loss in Omaha. He does that again...well it will be worth the price of admission.

I really don't care how many Colt gets.....as long as he's not making his living at the FT line........
