Game #17 @ SIU Saturday Jan 12th 3pm

[VU2014]

Notice the difference between Hinson's sincere compliment of Drake shooting the ball well, and Wardle's backhanded compliment crediting our players for hitting some lucky shots. Class vs. classless.

It's probably all the bitterness built up of Valpo besting him most of his career.

Glad to see NWI Times picked up on my earlier post themes....

Hinson's pregame interview. Fletcher will be a starter for SIU tonight.

Ryan Fazekas is out for today's game.

Game Prediction: 79-65 SIU wins

We need to keep the ISU team score in the upper 50's to lower 60's to have any chance of stealing a win on their home court. Without Ryan's 3-point shooting ability to worry about, rest assure they are going to double our centers every time they touch the ball.

We've had plenty of success against both. One's just a better human being than the other. As for the game I think we'll have a real chance if we stick to what's gotten us this far.

My goodness do we ever miss Ryan.  Hope he recovers really soon.

[oklahomamick]

Time we move on....he's in the NBA now

[oklahomamick]

I think our best offensive strategy for this game is to get out in transition.  Play good defense, as we are, but to push the ball before they can get set.

The score on the crawl on the ESPN3 broadcast has been wrong for so much of this game 

[VUGrad1314]

The broadcast has had weird scores too.

[oklahomamick]

Yes, but only Valpo's score has been incorrect. 

That turnover by Freeman might have been the first real freshman mistake I've seen him make.  Big fan of Freeman

[oklahomamick]

Did I hear the broadcaster say gritty?

[VUGrad1314]

Up 7 at the break without Fazekas? I'll take that!

[SanityLost17]

I'm glad we are up but man....  our bigs need to get their heads in the game.  Specifically Smits.   He rebounds in the 2nd half and maybe we pull this out.

That Valparaiso commercial really needs to be redone because the girl says "passion, it's what comes out of us uncontrollably".

The only thing that comes out of me uncontrollably is diarrhea and vomit...

Great Halftime clip about Golder's half court shot vs Illinois State on TV.  Can anyone share it.

Ok Ok, maybe too graphic for some but my point stands. Mr Oklahomamick tells my example hit too close to home since he has an 8-month old at home 😜😜😜

I thought the same thing, and when they were wrong for SIU, it was to the plus side.

[VUGrad1314]

Getting outhustled. Not happy with the last 3 minutes or so.

I have hated that commercial since it first came out... oops

SIU goes for ORBs. We still do not.

No consistent hustle to close this game, we deserve to be had if it should be...
