Marty needs to get Junior more minutes and get more picks set for Balentine. Wait til next year cause were young.

Like those on Purple board are saying ESPN announcers are experts with no dog in the fight and they even said Evansville will get better it just takes time. We need to lock up Marty for at least 8 more years, would hate for him to leave in year 10 of a 14-15 yr project.

I've always thought UE needed its own NOTSportsCenter

Nice win Trees.

The league's best home team starts off with a Valley home record of 0-1.

Sycamores are 2-1 in the Ford Center if my memory serves me correctly

It doesn't. You've only played 2 games at Ford Center, and are 1-1.

It wasn't so much bad memory as it was really good foresight.

Yep. I was thinking when the game got out of hand I should give Psycho credit for that.

So there ^^

Indiana State looked really good. Anyone that thinks this is just Jake Odum looking to create is in for a very long night. Diverse and talented are they.

Evansville is really good on the offensive end, and really bad on the defensive end. And they packed it in late like I haven't seen a Martyball team do in quite some time. I doubt that's a trend, but if it is, it's going to be a long year for Aces fans.

What are the realistic chances for an Indiana State at large if they don't win the Valley?

little to none, unless they miraculously go something like 16-2 in MVC play and make the final in St. Louis.

Win or two over WSU and a 25 win season (14-4, final in St Louis) might have a strong enough resume/RPI. Depends on what the at large field looks like. I don't think that's out of the question at all if they don't collapse again.

Teams do not collapse. Team are beaten by other teams.

Sorry but I think that's an oversimplification. Sometimes teams with superior talent beat themselves and lose to teams with lesser talent. When they do that over and over that's a collapse.
