I think it comes down to "who wants to play?"  Team offense, team defense, team team team!  Got to put the parts together in a way that makes us that much better and I think that really was the accomplishment last night.

After working on a stadium plan prior to the "Rauner" debacle I would totally agree ST. My press box design would run along those tiers also and would be 3 levels with a patio on either side and infant. I am not sure whether people are just larger these days or what, but those seats are downright ...

Great insight from someone else who bleeds Purple and Gold! Mindrup is absolutely the real deal! We finally are turning the corner. Two points I would like to make. 1) Academic standards have risen! 2) University counselors are still visiting schools and “college nights!” at high schools around the ...

TennTech proved to be a very talented opponent. I think we did a good job defensively most of the game but we lost the 3 point shooters and they hit their shots. Was a very tough assignment with their offense and 3/4 court pressure. I really thought we did a nice job with our spacing in the 1st half ...

I would agree, still plenty of games left and as Seal Hall has stated. Freethrows are basically mechanical repetition and confidence. Flex at the shoulder, flex at the elbow, extend at the wrist, pointer finger in the middle of the ball, legs bent a bit, 3 dribbles, find the from of the rim with ...

For years I have had the opportunity to attend a basketball game at Mackey Arena. And for years I have walked away with tunes such as Frankenstein and the Horse, repeating them over and over. Its a Big 10 show and thats what it is, a "show!" And I love the show. My wife and I were planning on being ...

This game was absolutely hard to watch. I am with you Rocki...........So lets take an entire practice and go 5 on 7, full court, no dribble. Let's work on recognizing when to hold them and when to take it to the rack once you break the press. We missed so so so many bunnies and inside shots. And we ...

Bad bad day for WIU. I feel like we got caught with our pants down. We were left behind along with a couple other schools which left the Mid Con trapped in a leaky boat. I have no idea why Valpo stayed on for a while before going on to the Horizon too and the MVC. When the Mid Con's head quarters ...

SEMO ran a 1/3/1 half court trap all night. You have to be able to knock down the 3's if you are going to challenge this. I don't really think the ladies ever really reversed the ball which has to happen in order to get the defense on its heels. In my former life I was forced to address this type of ...

Just wondering, has the two word sentence, "be patient" disappeared from Leathernecknation message board. And it seems that we move from one potential disaster from Head Coach hiring, to assistant Coach hiring, to current players and their move or lack of a move to the portal. Yes, I know EIU got 16 ...
