Seems to me Giacoletti is positioning himself to get the Redbird coaching job. That sneaky son of a gun.

It's pretty simple. Muller ran the score up on Giacaletti. Marshall didn't. As Muller matures as a coach, he may someday learn to have the class that Marshall displays.

Last time Drake played at Redbird ISU won 81-45
Last time Drake played at Koch WSU won 83–54

I don't think he was able to. It's comments like this why a lot of people in the Valley hate Wichita instead of root for them, which gives success and attention to the conference...

I believe the context was regarding depth, 1 vs 1 (FVV vs Lee), 2 vs 2 (Baker vs Knight) through 12 vs 12, ISU would win the majority of the matchups. Much ado about nothing, all I would care about is winning. I do find it interesting that a few WSU fans seem to get worked up over anything ISU.

I will let the basketball experts on this fine forum debate the individual match ups between WSU & ILS. I don't know the Birds personnel that well. The individual battles may truly fall in the nest of the Birds. If that is the case, that means the 3G/DM match up is dominated by 3G, because there is a good chance WSU will win 3-5 more conference games than ILS. As you said, all I care about is winning.

Illinois State isn't more talented than Evansville 1-12.

They're probably more talented than Evansville overall, but not 1-12.

Well, Muller is still 0 for against WSU, and Illinois State is something like 1-10 in the last 11 meetings. It sure seems like the winning part has been hard to come by, even with a more talented Illinois State squad.

Have you read your message board? Redbird fans have major hard-ons for WSU/Marshall. I suppose that's natural when you are getting owned so badly in a series.

1. Muller didn't run the score up. If he would have, I'd have gotten free wings.
2. Coach Gia made that comment before the game was played. I think he was trying to make a point about our depth. You could make a case that we have a better bench than the Shox, but that's as far as I'd go.

6-12 we could legitimately discuss. IlSt might win that comparison.

Unfortunately Muller's vote and Ray's comments make IlSt's record right now hilarious.
