Guess they can lay out Campion and not get called for a foul. Stan better be giving the refs a piece of his mind. John Wooden couldn’t win with this team Stan has assembled.

Womens programs only thing worth a s***, although I think the Baseball team will improve this year. We cannot and should not be allowing this ineptitude in this program. This is a complete JOKE!

Nick Hittle please, I apologize for all the bad things I've said about you if you win us this game.

5-16 and headed for a battle with former GLVC bottom feeder Lindenwood for last place.
This program is in real trouble folks.

It sucks to lose but come on, we just took the 2nd best team in the conference to the wire down two and that last call against us sealed their win. Are we great, no. But we are in every frigging game. I agree we are 1-2 players away from being a .500 team. McCord injured and Tilmon gone…that did us in this year. To say the program is in real trouble is just false. I was at the game and it was an unbelievable atmosphere. I think everyone that follows USI knows about Tilmon and McCord and gets it. We may only have 5 wins but we don’t play like a 5 win team. Most 5 Win teams get their ass kicked by 20-30 points every game…that’s not us. Do I hate losing, hell yes I do. But I’m going to support them til the end because that’s what loyal fans do. And the blessing for us this year is the women are incredible and tearing it up. It’s just a total rebuild this year for the men. If they are like this again next season I’ll be concerned…but I’m not now because we all knew this was going to happen when we lost our top 6 guys from last year. It is what it is. I’m over getting stroke level blood pressure because I understand this is not our year.

Almost 2800 in the crowd tonight, biggest one on the season so far. Sucks we lost, but the atmosphere was amazing, Family Day should also bring in another big crowd too.

I saw that and to be honest I really thought it was over 3k. But about 2800 is great for a Thursday night game that started late. Not too many younger fans because of the 8 pm start but man the students were big tonight. After tonight’s game we are 2 nd in the conference in average attendance and less than 100 from being first. Would be great if the students showed up more often. There were several newbie’s around me tonight and they kept looking around the arena when the music was thumping and fans screaming and were really impressed. We need to make it like this every conference game.

Looks like one of the player’s parents raised some interesting concerns about the team on Twitter.

Looks like one of the player’s parents raised some interesting concerns about the team on Twitter. I didn’t see that I stumbled upon it on a reply, wasn’t too happy with the open dunk after the u16 2H timeout, didn’t like have smaller guards on the court at the same time, and said half the team is probably eyeing the portal. x.com/lhallsmk/status/1750722291401388351?s=46&t=0mbJ_TT4MQ8KZKv29ZqhSg

I found it. I understand their frustration because it was Hall and he didn’t get in the game tonight…but Mervis got 10-12 minutes. I’m sure half the team is eyeing the portal…and to be honest I’m ok with it. We need bigger,stronger more athletic guys to compete because the OVC is extremely physical. Our current guys are mostly lean and lanky but the better teams in our league are football player bodies. We have to get bigger guys without question.
