We split the season series with them winning 58-54 on January 27th at home and losing to them in Normal, IL on February 18th 79-86. Interesting that Ben did not play the first game but did play the second game.

Unfortunately I believe our recent losing streak has taken the wind out the players sail and soms just want ths season to end. By “some” are you talking players or fans? Is this based on speculation or fact? Obviously, some fans are going to be fair weather fans and jump off the bandwagon when things aren’t going good. But at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter what a few fans believe - it just matters whether the players and coaches believe. Survive and advance. If you have an ESPN+ subscription I would highly recommend watching the 30/30 documentary on NC State’s run to the 1983 National Championship. youtu.be/AjRDgLIXpmc?si=OSfTwPTsfhvQIYLH“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” - Henry Ford We absolutely can win on Thursday.

I'm really hoping that Coach Ragland starts and plays his best 5 players. The MVC Tournament starts with every team being 0-0 so let's play our best 5 and Win The Title!! AcesAces Let's Go Aces!!

Dang, I guess I’ll have to miss the SOTU address. Mumbles will make it without me.

And if it's true, "MAYBE" the guys at the end of the bench who are playing and ready to go on Spring Break. I truly believe these guys think they can win 4 in a row.

Points don’t necessarily paint the full picture due to difference in minutes, so I checked their all per 40 min numbers, and it correlates a lot more with the points list than I thought it would: Ben 19.3 Haffner 19 Kenny 16 Chuck 15.3 Toumi 13.9 Bobe 13.3 Thomas 10.7 Cuff 10.6 Hughes 8.7 A starting 5 of Ben, Haffner, Kenny, Chuck, and Toumi would simply not work with Chuck playing PG, so sub in Antonio and you have our original starting lineup. I’m not sure what the “play our best 5” guys are looking for these days. It’s hard to keep up with if we’re mad at Bobe, Strawbridge, Toumi, or anyone else, but I think these numbers prove we’re playing our best lineups for the most part. Stick to what we’ve been doing and go with the hot hand between Bobe, Haffner, and Chuck, and hopefully we can reel out a few wins.

I am sticking my predictive neck out and saying the players who have been starting will continue to do so. Call me silly, but after 31 games, if they ain't figured it out, they won't. There are no new people on the team. WYSIWYG.
