Boy, Max has been bad the last game plus.

Nice looking crowd in Carbondale for this one

oklahomamick · February 03, 2018, 07:40:54 PM

Do we get to shoot free throws???

Teams in mvc are better the refs are not

FieldGoodie05 · February 03, 2018, 07:41:18 PM

Stupid foul by Golder, why clearout with a straight arm there. Geesh

VU2014 · February 03, 2018, 07:44:03 PM

These refs are horrendous...

If Valpo is winning at half time I'm donating $5, if they win it'll be another $5 to the Storm Intercept Project (my 7 year olds pick) on the VU crowd funding page. Anyone else want to play along?

I'm in!

Best $5 spent this week!

Evelyn & Joseph have been a turnover machine. Some of Evelyn's were like - what was he thinking? If they took just a little better care of the ball we might have a more comfortable lead.

Still, a six point lead at half? I'll take it.

Now bring it home in the second half.

FieldGoodie05 · February 03, 2018, 07:55:28 PM

Sucks to see Max play so poorly, he works so dang hard. Just not sure if he is quick enough for this level offensively.

0 pts 0 reb 2 stls 3 TO

wh · February 03, 2018, 07:56:23 PM

We did some good things, but 14 TO's in 34 possessions? If that isn't some kind of record, it should be. Let's finish strong and get our first MVC sweep!

VU2014 · February 03, 2018, 07:58:39 PM

SIU was 1-10 from the arc. Valpo was 13-23 from the floor. Need to keep that trend going.

M · February 03, 2018, 08:01:07 PM

That's $5, let's make it an even $10 https://crowdfunding.valpo.edu/s/1347/17/cf-home.aspx

Big crowd at SIU tonight. Valpo - both the town and the campus - need to get off their butts, quit making excuses and show up.

Marty with a foul within 5 seconds of being in the game...

and another one... slow footwork

Footwork is key in the MVC! Rebounding, position on defense. This is a well coached conference.

TFW even the SIU announcer admits the call against Max was a phantom foul...

nkvu · February 03, 2018, 08:08:15 PM

That foul call on Joseph was ridiculas!

VU2014 · February 03, 2018, 08:09:14 PM

Jeez Mileek and Marty are foul machines out there

nkvu · February 03, 2018, 08:10:03 PM

The home cooking is getting silly.

Refs trying to keep SIU in the game.

bigmosmithfan1 · February 03, 2018, 08:15:37 PM

God, now a phantom foul on Sorolla. MVC giving us the freshman hazing refs tonight.

mj · February 03, 2018, 08:17:44 PM

Dude our interior defense is horrific

jloose128 · February 03, 2018, 08:18:27 PM

Abhorrent officiating.

bigmosmithfan1 · February 03, 2018, 08:18:36 PM

"Horrendous" = called for three straight fouls playing clean defense. Ok, bro.

mj · February 03, 2018, 08:19:04 PM

Well. Good to see that we're standing up for ourselves. I think.

bigmosmithfan1 · February 03, 2018, 08:20:02 PM

That was an absolutely clean block by Sorolla. Ridiculous.

oklahomamick · February 03, 2018, 08:20:40 PM

Ref called a foul on sorolla before any contact. 7-2 fouls

bigmosmithfan1 · February 03, 2018, 08:24:18 PM

Anyone else's ESPN3 feed get really choppy in the 2nd half? I mean, it was fine in the first half.

It is *really hard* to play decent interior defense when you are whistled for a foul while defending straight up and whenever you go for a block, contact or no.
