I know it sucks now, but isn't this kind of a good thing? At least, for the long term viability of the program?


Absolutely. It's nice to see that, even against a great defensive team like UNI, the freshmen can be productive. Unfortunately, the upperclassmen have done pretty much nothing all year.

Fourth post of the entire season, and the other three were all attacking WSU.

Someone's overcompensating for giving up on their own team.

Welcome back. I look forward to you disappearing, yet again, the moment ISUb drops a game or two. You're hilariously predictable.

The past two games were against the #260 and #289 best offensive teams, per Kenpom. With #327 up next, that will continue to look good. But Drake and SIU are a bizarre pair of opponents to be beating your chest over.

(More importantly, UNI's D is ranked #22 this year per Kenpom.)

Is Loyola going to have a full building this afternoon?

Needs to look good on national television...

Not necessarily beating my chest, but given last years failure by trying to make a duck into an eagle, it's good to see Jake acknowledge his mistake and go back to the "defense-first" mentality. It's the reason UNI was able to build its reputation and have consistent success over the past 10-15 years.

Definitely, and UNI's defense is excellent this year.

I just don't think Drake and SIU are the offenses you want to use to show that ;)

If the students come through, it should be a sellout. They take up one entire end zone. The other upper level end zone is GA, so you can't see how many of those tickets are available, but from scanning the website, it looks like there are maybe 200 seats left, mostly uppers that are on the same side as the TV cameras. It will look good if the students do their part. We usually get a good walk up crowd for big games to fill the rest.

I hope you guys don't think "Fear" is representative of all Indiana State fans. We're just grateful we've started winning after our horrid start to the season.

Like I mentioned earlier, the team took a while to get used to not playing with Jake Odum, but now they're doing much better and we still hope to avoid the Thursday play in games.

Every team has their version(s) of "Fear." Or at least they do after a season or two of not being on Thursday night.

And realistically ISUb has a good shot at avoiding Thursday by going 4-10 to finish the season now.

Don't worry, UNI's defense will get to prove themselves right away against...

Bradley next.
