Illinois State beat SIU 85-54 at Redbird Arena, Kennard Davis was out from coach's decision. Redbirds are coming off 2 wins in a row including a win at home against Bradley
Dawgs win by 4 😎
This game will give a good indication of how much fight the team has left because Illinois State is talented enough to lay another whupping on Southern if the effort isn't there. I'd like to say the team will still be agitated about getting shredded in Normal but this group let another rival beat them twice on their home floor sooo ...
Senior night for Hensley: in this era, being at the same school for two years counts as a measure of loyalty, especially with the coaching change. I hope he has a good night and gets some confidence back at the offensive end, which probably will be needed if they're going to win any more games this season.
Speaking of bigs, we'll probably need significant minutes from Aligbe and Moreno because Hensley is not equipped to bang with Chase Walker for 30sh minutes.
I don't believe i have ever seen a team lose confidence in the face of adversity like this team anytime they have a bad run on offense they offer no resistance on defense it must be a challenge to coach a group like this sometimes you have a player who gets down and you substitute and try someone else but when the team does it and has no fight it is just frustrating and unacceptable
I'm thankful this is the last home loss I will have to witness in-person this season.
I'm looking forward to the off-season. It would be nice to win this game tho, hopefully siu plays well
Christ the boo birds are out and the game hasn't started!
I see Banks hasn't lost his touch!
Jarret Henchman with 3 threes!
Think we've seen this version numerous times, but usually only for one half at a time unfortunately.
Did not like the way the half ended here. We need to play ferocious D starting the 2nd half cuz the Turds got a bit of momentum back there.
some of those foul calls on Aligbe are very questionable.
This is my first game in person in awhile but I have a serious question who is the coach Nagy or the assistants because my observation is about 50 50 during timeouts sometimes Nagy isn't even the huddle
Me likey this Steffe! Wow! 5 -5 from three!
