Pretty dominating win over a cold shooting team today.  Lurking question remain to be answered.  Do we have enough depth for conference play and can we make FTs in crunch time?
 
 
Embrace the pace of the race.

WIU wins 65-54. WIU shot 52%, while Cent Ark shot 31%. Any win on the road is a good win, one they definitely needed. Agree on both points Seal, they only shot 50% on their free throws and basically went with a 7 player rotation, although it was really only 6 guys. Coach keeps saying he wants better depth then last year, but it is not looking like he much faith in most of the bench guys.

Depth is a gonna be a big concern, especially when it comes to the grind of conference play in January and February. 

Im still trying to gauge this team. It’s tough with the schedule, but im optimistic with road wins at Green Bay and Central Arkansas. However, I’m really confident after today. Traveling immediately after a home game to play a noon tip on a Wednesday in Arkansas and dominate the way they did is impressive.

We really don't have another home game until January 4th? I had covid for the last week and a half. I didn't think I'd be going a month without attending a men's game even with the covid.
