I realize Bradley stinks...But ISU might be the most arrogant, mouthiest 7-7 MVC team in history. And it starts at the top and includes the players.

Maybe win something first?

I saw the game online and I know the video angles don't show everything, but I didn't see anything like what you seem to reference. Was there something different you saw in person? Specifically what and when in the game?

I even bounced over to the BU board to see what was said and zero other people mentioned something like you did here. What exactly did you see/hear that no one else seemed to?

It's not just this game in particular. It's evident in every ISU game I've seen.

If I am the only one on this board who has noticed the arrogance level of Coach Muller and ISU then I will stand corrected....I'm pretty sure I'm not though.

Gotcha. I thought there was something specific I missed. I can see why people think that way about Muller. The first place vote. Some techs. I can see where he could come across that way to opposing fans. I haven't seen much from the players that show that. If anything, I could see opposing fans think our players where whiners - some of our guys to tend to act like any foul on them was a horrible call. But I know thats not just us. Nearly every team in college basketball has those guys.

Was just curious if I missed something from this game. Carry on

I like the talent on the ISU roster...maybe the whole isn't as good as the sum of the parts..or whatever the saying is. They never seem to be able to get any kind of consistent string together and I'm not sure Muller can coach.

That roster should be better than 8-7 in the league.

Lynch never acknowledges that he fouled. It's funny, but I still really like him as a player.

Freshman Chris Kendrix had 20 and 8 last night. He's a good player, and in a year of total disappointment, he's someone the Bears fans can look to with hope.

The best part of the Bradley/ISU game was the parachuting cows. I knew how bad Bradley was and that they have given up on the season, but I didn't realize how bad ISU was.

The problem is, Kirk was something to look forward to. Then Marcus and Gavin were exciting, then Ruder, etc., etc. Kendricks has been exciting all year but could barely get on the floor until all the injuries and Marcus left. Next year is always the theme with Lusk.

Won by 13 on the road in a place we usually play bad in I'll take it

Mr. Hawkins is playing good ball.
Averaging 8.4 and 6 since returning from injury.

Illinois State isn't bad, just wildly inconsistent, especially within a game. They had stretches like the first 6-8 minutes of that game (when it was 7-5) that they looked just as bad as Bradley. Then, they have stretches where they look very good (when they built the 13 point lead). The team just does not stay "switched on" and their offensive execution at times rivals a junior high team.

Consistency = Coaching

Dan Muller has not learned how to keep them playing well for 40 minutes on a consistent basis. You can do that against many of the teams in the league this year, but not UNI & WSU, where they will be punished...like blowing the 12 pt lead @ home vs UNI
