Loyola took ISUr right down to the wire a few weeks ago in BloNo. I see no reason why we can't beat them at home. It'll likely be another close one--seems like all of our games vs the Redbirds are tight ones.

We needed to go 3-0 against Drake, Missouri St. and Loyola before this awful stretch to the finish line.

If we lose tonight, it could spell Thursday for us. A very sad sign for ISUr basketball given the "talent" we supposedly always have.

With a win the Redbirds could possibly be tied for 2nd place after today, or a loss and we will be tied for 6th. Big Logjam after Wichita

Really tough to get a read on ISUr at this point. They have a brutal last 7. And while that means they might lose a lot of them, it also means they have a ton of opportunities to beat the teams around/above them and move up the standings quickly.

This statement seems to be a continued theme of Dan Muller's tenure over the past 4 years. Such an inconsistent team, which is not a good thing.

Between watching them and the Chicago Bulls this year its been frustrating for me. In stretches and in a full game or two we look like we could actually have a shot at being right up there with Wichita or for the Bulls the Cavs (no way we could beat warriors/spurs). But just can't do it consistently for 40 minutes every game like the best teams (wichita) do. Going into every game you know we will either shoot really well and look good or shoot god awful and look like a bottom tier team. I've just been trying to not get too high or too low on them which helps some lol
