Illinois State has an interesting team. They only return 3 players from last year's roster and were picked 7th of 10 in the MVC (Drake was picked 5th), but they beat a very good Belmont team in their first game of the season and had two neck-and-neck games with Little Rock (won by 5) and UCF (lost by 2).

Their team features two transfers from San Jose State, one from Eastern Kentucky, and a somewhat familiar face in former Wichita State reserve guard, Ricky Torres.

Through 3 games they've shot over 41% from 3, but with Friday's match-up being their first away from home this season, we'll ideally hold them to a much lower percentage as we did with Drake.

They seem to have a pretty balanced roster otherwise and I think will provide a solid challenge. I think we win by ~10 points.

Any idea what channel the game will be on? I can't find it.

Yep. Or a $150 annual subscription.

Hopefully some good alternative links pop up come game time.

 

[Cin City]

I wonder if they pro-rate the subscription, or if its offered to where you can buy single games to watch? Anyone know?

 

[sirthought]

Would be great to hear if any Cincinnati bars are buying the subscription for this tournament.

 

[cincyguy13]

Yep. Or a $150 annual subscription.

Who would pay for a subscription to flohoops? Honestly. And it’s more expensive than Netflix and Disney plus. So glad to be done with these dumb tournaments.

That is an absolute crime..... looks like I will be following on my phone.

That’s worth a lot to me

Yes but is he smiling.

yes, but harvey is in a walking boot.

 

[itsamemario]

yes, but harvey is in a walking boot.

probably nothing serious. Sam Martin is also in the boot.

I remember hearing last year that some players were in boots all year long. Believe Gary was his entire senior year

Let's hope a one game wake up call is just what the Dr ordered. If Jarron is serious about his future he will make the most of it.

I would suspect Brannen sat him down and said I am not against you...I will do anything I can to help your career with the exception of naming you coach. Neither player nor coach gets anything out of a lost season for Jarron.

I am looking forward to Jarron working CJB's system to his benefit.

Is it a fake smile; if he is

I did too and regret it already.

No sound on my stream and it's freezing/choppy
