ISU Arch Madness Preview and Game Thread -- 3-4-2018

Am sorry to criticize ANY LUC player but Avery has yet to demonstrate that he is an LUC TEAM player !! At this stage the TEAM plays today without him

[ToledoRambler]

I hope the Ramblers break out of their recent long range shooting slump and return to form. We were a poor 4-17 on 3s against UNI and a mediocre 9-27 against Bradley. If we could get back to shooting 40% on 3s against ISU (who plays a lot of zone) we should be in good shape.

With two games under their belt in a big arena I’m hoping they have had time to get a feel for the sightlines and can adjust. You are right though - hitting from long distance like we did all year is key to separating us on the scoreboard right 10 or so minutes to go.

Agreed. Not so much that HE hasn’t proven it though as much as THE TEAM has proven they can win without him. Seeing him in the game today would only make me think something is seriously wrong that we would have to have him out there. Again though, it’s nothing personal against Avery — I just want to see us stick with what got us here.

Avery won’t ever play because of is attitude not his talent. Porter has never put up with that. Maybe in off season he changes his attitude. He does have talent. I wouldn’t say playing number 5 in non conference game that you were supposed to get killed is the same pressure for Krut. Clearly Krutwig has felt the pressure BUt I completely believe in him. We would not be here without his amazing season. I actually think he puts it together today or Jackson will go off so all will be ok.

On this glorious, thankful day I don’t want to be negative but Milton is not an NBA player. I am as sure of this as ever. Yes his call up surprised me but every now and then that will happen. I saw him as a significant G league player. He may even Get another call up. As much as I love him he is not an NBA caliber player.

Come on, Sam. That's not the hill to die on. Glad you're posting again though. Go Ramblers

30 minutes from the tip off of the biggest game for the program in years, and people are arguing about this stuff? Cut the negative thoughts, we’ve got a game to win! Let’s do this!

Redbirds 67

How does Wichita State keep finding ways to annoy me even after they left?

[ToledoRambler]

How weird is it to hear Kevin Harlin talking about the ramblers ????

[Johhnyfingers]

14-6 is a nice lead earlier on here. Let's keep pushing.
