I don't know why I'm enjoying all these fans of other teams in the Valley get so frustrated by getting kicked in the mouth by us, but i am!


Maybe because they've done nothing but spit on us since we joined?

Forget Avery right now. I’ve been very impressed with Satterwhite since the day where he had his bad attitude and fights with Porter v. Bradley. He has been more aggressive on the boards, played smarter, and had a better attitude. Not sure what got to him, but to his credit he has changed his tune and his minutes are increasing again.


Agreed. Clearly Cam is responding to being challenged and he's earning playing time.

One thing we’ve learned about Porter is that he’s a system and defense first coach. Which is good because that’s what successful mid-major programs are built on. If you’re not fitting in the system, You’re not going to see the floor much until you Understand your role and execute your role within the system.

We are Now 8-1 in the MVC !!! Pretty much assures us of one goal---First round bye in ARCH
--Next up--Beat Bradley--Hard to do in Peoria--But this team can and should do it
-- I look for Ingram Jackson and Townes to rise
--Nrgron is knocking at the door

Up 15 plus in last minute, Loyola with 7 3 pointers for the game. Crowd chanting we want pizza because 8 3's means free slice for everybody at Alberto' s. Shanks has the ball and fires as shot clock goes off and clanks it. Great moment. Had to see it.

We sit at 8-2 NOT 8-1 as I stated erroneously .In any case we are in great shape

Braves are good and coming on. BUT they are NOT as great on defense as was NIU-- We are better than Bradley BUT they are at HOME which matters.

If refs do as well as did the ones SUNDAY did, we will be fine. We have another player rising--Negran-- He will add to an already powerful bench.

If I were to venture a guess LUC 72--Bradley 66 !!

I wanted to share a little bit on info about the season ticket holder appreciation event that was held after the UNI game in Irelands. There was a really nice turn out for the event.. i would say there had to be 10-20% more people there than last year. Same deal as last year as they had free pizza from Albertos and you got 2 drink tickets for each seat that you have.

Coach came down after addressing the media and gave another nice little speech to the group. He didn't really share anything new or surprising.

-you should be really proud of this University for doing it the right way... high character guys
-coaches are working really hard on recruits, "but I can't share any specifics on unsigned guys"
-"i'm telling the players what i'm about to tell you...let's take this one game at a time, lets not get ahead of ourselves"
-"we have to keep improving if we want to do this"
-"you can't score... you can't defend anyone.... but you can tell and bring your friends to the last 4 games"

All in all it was a nice little event... but marketing for it seemed poor. I was really surprised about how many season ticket holders had NOT heard about the event. Although, as I said earlier there was a pretty good turn out for the event... so maybe marketing was just fine.
