Spunk"
I agree we showed some fight tonight. Illinois State's center Walker, 6'9", 280 lbs, backed our post players until he was right in front of the hoop. We didn't have a post defender that could bang with him and keep him away from the basket, so he scored a basket or got fouled, and he made 13 of 14 of his free throws. One play late in the game at crunch time, Walker used his forearm and elbow to push our defender off, and the ref didn't call an offensive foul but called a foul on us.

I think they will win some games, more than last year's team. Is that enough to make me happy? Heck no, but it's a start.  Previous Message
