Leatherneck Nation

This 12/13 7pm CT game looks on paper to be a very challenging one for the Leathernecks as the Hornets come in averaging 80+ per game and in fact lead the SWAC conference in more statistical categories than not:

With a name like the Hornets, does their coach employ a swarming pressure defense like we saw at Cleveland State? If so, trouble looms in Western Hall tonight. If not, I like our chances.

Massey has us a 5 point favorite: http://www.masseyratings.com/game.php?s ... w+illinois

we lost to alabama st. at their place last year 59-52.adam link had a big game with 16 pts and 9 rebounds.hopefully we will get some of the same home cooking that alabama st. got last year when wiu had 21 fouls to their 9 fouls and wiu shot 3 for 4 free throws to their 17 for 28.-----------------------------------this will be wiu 5th game already where they are playing a team they lost to last year.so far wiu is 2-2 in the other 4 revenge games from last year.lets make it 3-2.

I hope we turned the corner Thursday. I say we win a close one and start playing good basketball from here on out!

Holy cow! We have energy and confidence out of the gate.

Great start, up 19-4. Its a good thing when Tate and Conde are scoring.

Fuller gets great elevation on the jumper.

this team is looking really good.gotta LOVE THOSE LEATHERKNECKS

Like to see them coming out in the 2nd half, looking good also, lets not blow this

Do we have enough depth to hang on to this one? Tate gone. Mo with 4 fouls.

Not sure why Chapman doesn't play more
