Game 9 - @ Eastern Michigan Dec 3 6pm ESPN3.

I would suggest that without any specific knowledge to the contrary, Fazekas (like any other player) wants to do everything that he can to get back on the court. Further, I would suggest that he is probably very frustrated by the injuries that prevent him from contributing to the team (and a promising team, at that). Give the guy a break and don't take cheap shots.

I don't think I would ever define an attempt at humor as being a cheap shot. I wasn't offended (I chuckled) and I doubt that Ryan was either.

You make a good point and perhaps I misread the intentions in the comment.

[Valpo89]

Has anyone heard about Fazekas' injury or when he might return?  It is hard to believe that no info has come forward or leaked out.

I thought I saw 6-8 weeks in an article.

[EddieCabot]

KenPom has this game as 70-66, in favor of EMU.  Valpo is averaging 78 ppg, so I don't see EMU holding them to 66. 

[valpo64]

Regarding the Fazekas injury, you say you thought you saw an article saying 6-8 weeks?  From when or when would you expect his return?

As I understood it he was injured during the Toledo game on Nov. 5. Then a week later a story said it was 6 to 8 weeks. Therefore Ryan might be back between Dec. 30 and Jan. 13, 2020.

[SanityLost17]

Using no logic whatsoever, I would predict a January 18th return against Indiana State giving him about 7 weeks before Arch Madness.  Perhaps everyone buys a square for $10, winner takes the pot?   

[VUSWIM08-12]

EMU sits at -2.5 while Valpo is +125 on the money line. O/U in 131. Take Valpo at +3 and the over is my guess...Wish I could watch this one but alas I'll be coaching. Replay it is. I always tell myself I wont check the score but always do...

[M]

That's what I played too. Valpo ML and the over.

Nice, man the O/U dropped to 130, I know EMU is holding teams to 55 but they played mostly questionable teams. If it stays under 130 somehow it will be because EMUs offense doesn't do much and not because they stop our offense. They wont be able to handle the Sackey/Freeman transition prowess . If we score less than 60 don't scold me.
My parlay for the day
Valpo: +4WKU: -2 at Wright St.Mizzou: -24 against Charleston Southern

And that's why they call it GAMBLING and why it's not a good thing to do on a regular basis unless, of course, you are extremely skilled at the game you play at such as is our beloved VU play-by-play radio man, Todd Ickow.

I took the over at 129 - I've done well taking the over on most Valpo games so far this season

[VALPO LI]

Where is everyone?  I see 6 Valpo fans behind the bench in gold and maybe 50 more fans in Green.  Are they all sitting on the camera side of the court  This makes attendance at The Athletic Recreational Center look great!

[NativeCheesehead]

So tired of watching Sackey make bad pass after bad pass.

[VUSL98]

So tired of watching Sackey make bad pass after bad pass.

And everyone else, too...

If we're going to shoot our way out of this zone, they'd better start looking for Sig. He's been wide open in the corner countless times.

[PlumStreetBum]

Our defense is h*ckin' awful, almost as bad as our passing. If we can't play defense, we're a Thursday team for sure.

But what really gets me is that, to my eye, we're giving partial effort. Guess the guys had a lot of laundry to do after the trip to the Virgin Islands.

[FieldGoodie05]

How is Kiser the only Valpo defender who prevents most dribble drives?

[govalpogo]

Not good.  We know the team can go on runs and make comebacks...we'll see if they turn it around.

They're playing Spanish defense. ¡Olé!

I thought Sackey looked tremendous the 1st few games of the season.   The last 3 D1 games... Not so much.

matador defense (mat'-uh-dor' de'-fens) noun.

A lackluster, low-effort form of defense in which the defender simply reaches for the ball and then quickly pulls his hand away -- similar to how a matador pulls his cape out of the way of a charging bull -- as the offensive player drives by him for an easy shot at the hoop.

there were 74 people in the seats opposite the scorers table.  no band.  less than 1500 total.  they are blaming the Michigan Louisville game.  they introduced 62 spring letter winners at halftime.  they left. 
now.  what can we do against the zone

[wh]

It would be helpful if the guy with the 3-3's snaps out of his trance before the 2nd half. We can't afford to have an average Joe have a career night.
