Why even bother with a road CBI/CIT now.
Win in St. Louis or call it a season.

We've lost the last three games by a total of nine points. Really disappointing.

Same problem we had last year rearing its head. We lost 3 games by a combined 5 points in a stretch

Let's make it more depressing because we did not play our best to lose three games by a few points, we probably had enough bad possessions
to win each of these games handily.
On to next game.
Go Ramblers.

As others have said, there's a chance that the Drake game could decide our fate... for the third straight year. I think I hate Drake as much as GoRamblers does.

It's frustrating to say but this team still has the talent to compete with anyone in the league. If they can play the full 40 like they've played in the second halfs against Drake, MSU, last night.... man. We've had one game. ONE. Where we've been handled all season (we came back against WSU). I don't know how the culture of bringing it 100% every game comes about, but if we had that this season. Man. To anyone coming to the remaining home games, be loud, be rowdy, make yourselves heard. This is the same team we've believed could do great things all season. They just gotta right the ship and finish.

all things considered,,,,it might be that depth thing......The bench has gotten shorter and less productive recently....after appearing that it was just ready to expand....I think this is Coach's Achilles heel...he is a control freak and cant let go enough or have enough faith to let guys grow through their mistakes. It seems that always getting developmental players you got to let them develop. Might cost you a game or two early but will have dividends when it counts.

On some level i think the next step is really playing a more rigorous non-con schedule. Even if we're only playing at home 7-8 times instead of 9-10 and really ride the bench more so by the time conference rolls around we're more seasoned and rested. I'd rather drop 4 or 5 non-con and be a real power by conference play than vice versa. That said i go back to our teams overall lack of D1 experience outside of Ben, Donte, Milt and to some extent Tyson.
