    50 percent of our wins over teams with 200+ RPI.
    This pretty much sums it up, I can't honestly remember a top 100 win in recent memory under Marshall. I'm all ears.
    Last year at home vs. UNI?
    Yeah, probably. I have no doubt that we have them. I guess when you think about the big games that we've had that would have really been nice to get, we come up short. Nevada, Utah State last year and then the games this year.

    I guess at least we didn't lose to Evansville and Illinois State.

        Why do we CONSISTENTLY get to line less than half of our opponents?

          I'd like to blame the refs, but can all refs be bad or have it out for us, really? We seem to play out of control on both sides of the ball a LOT! We leave our feet on defense, a LOT!

            We suck defensively. Say no more.

              UNI clears their post players and makes it easy to drive.

              We always have post players near the basket completely blocking the lane for offensive drives.

                so it's execution? We don't successfully execute the offensive set to get the bigs up & out?

                  Teams love to run isolations on us, and it usually gets them a foul and/or a high percentage shot.

                  Why we don't return the favor, I have no idea.

                      Loses like we experienced tonight is what causes your WHOLE season to slip away. We have got to take better care of the ball, our turnovers are killing us.

                          The only good news today is that Indy State now has an rpi of 94 (too bad they lost to UE and Wyoming).

                          If the Sycamores can stay in the top 100, it will give WSU 2 more opportunities to get a top 100 win.

                          We need to start taking advantage of these opportunities.

                            well can we say hello NIT? I'm not even sure we can beat Indiana St. on Saturday now. The Sycamores are hot and we are not. In fact, road games at MSU, ISU (blue), and UNI all look like losses. This is a team that could finish 4th in the valley now.

                              We could or we could finish 1st. I remember one year with five games left we could win them all or lose them all. We lost them all.

                                Just finished watching the DVR of the game.

                                UNI played extremely well and executed a perfectly designed game plan.

                                WSU was out coached, outplayed and out hustled.

                                The primary problem (this is for the you-know-who's) is not Hatch.

                                The problem is Toure "non-factor" Murry.

                                You can rip on Hatch as much as your limited knowledge permits, but at least he works.

                                Murry just drifts on offense and was consistently abused on defense tonight.

                                I watched TM get burned on 7 different possessions. He either was torched off the dribble drive or did a piss poor job on switches. His offensive game (a total oxymoron) is non-existent.

                                His off ball movement (or lack thereof) consists of floating around the perimeter and then standing around like its 2008-09 again, waiting to hit a last second shot.

                                I really, really hope Williams is not hurt. He is a much more viable option right now than Murry.

                                That is all. 8)
                                Above all, make the right call.
