      Jackie Carmichael:

      "I think we’re angrier than they are,” said Illinois State’s senior forward. “If they have more fight than us I would be surprised ... Honestly, I think we have way more to play for."

      Locker room fodder. I hope our guys come out pissed.

        What's wrong with what he said? This is an 0-5 team that had much higher expectations than this. They probably should be angrier and their back is against the wall. Now, I doubt they have more fight than us, especially with Hall coming back, but nothing he said was the least bit out of line or degrading in any way.

        Our guys should come out pissed because they lost the last matchup with ISU and the last game they played on the court against UE. Not because of anything Carmichael said.

          Two things:

          1. Our team should never be happy about an opponent saying they have "more fight"
          2. Right now, we have more to play for. National ranking, NCAA appearances/seeding, etc.

            In my mind, that's just being ultra sensitive.

              I'm not sure where you get that. Any player that respects themselves would disagree with their opponent claiming to have more fight in them.

                Because at no point in anything that JC said, did he make a critical or degrading comment about WSU or any of the players. To try and make what he said into any sort of issue seems to me to be a major stretch in looking to be slighted. I know a number of people on this board get off on being slighted by others and look for any excuse to talk about it. I don't see that here in any form. I suppose in your world, players and coaches should never talk to the media unless they say nothing positive about themselves and only glowing things about the opponent. Otherwise, they're slighting the other and it's automatically "locker room fodder".

                  I hope that they are really mad around 9 oclock tonite.

                    I don't think you understand the mindset of a college or professional athlete. If a player says he is going to outwork you before a game to the media, then you are going to come into that game with the mindset of "I am going to make him regret that." Thus, locker room fodder.

                      Whatever. I'd be surprised if our guys are so weak to let JCs comments get to them. They have much bigger things to worry about.

                        All I know is that I think we will POUND Ill St tonight. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from STL last year, and some roasted Redbird would taste very nice. Heck I would even eat it for breakfast. I will be ready to scream my head off at the game tonight, cause I want to get them good.

                          If you want locker room material, replay the game from St. Louis last year.

                          Both teams are very hungry for very different reasons.

                            If you want locker room fodder, make them watch the UE game again.
