MSU & Ill State Round 3

[bears1]

Lets get this party started. I think it will be a good game tonight. I predict MSU wins by 2 in a tight one.

[RedbirdWarrior]

I'll take ISU by 9. Osiris is hot just at the right time of year. MoSt. got a very cupcake game in rd. 1. ISU is very much the opposite.

[azbirdfan]

Mo State is hot right now and I'm concerned about that. Although Evansville is a "cupcake", we had a lot of difficulty beating them each time this year and Mo State flat out destroyed them. They've been playing very well recently and I will be very happy if we can get past them.

Is the game on TV? I looked at my FoxMidwest programming guide on my Dish and it says that Creighton and Bradley are playing at that time slot and doesn't say anything about this game. Hopefully it was a misprint on their part.

[SycamoreFanatic]

I'm picking da Bears in a mild "upset" in this one. They looked as good as anybody we played in Terre Haute this season a week ago and still pretty sharp last nite!

[Nyghtewynd]

Play-in winners are something like 1-23 in the quarters. IlSU is playing for their NCAA lives. I don't expect that trend to change.

The Barry Hinson era will end tonight.

[LincolnJay]

C'mon Bears, SAVE BARRUAH'S JOB!!!

[howboutdembears]

C'mon Bears, SAVE BARRUAH'S JOB!!!

A-hole.... :original:

[Hein72]

Bears are hot.

If the bears make a deep run in the MVC does that save Barry's job? I wish they had a save Barry sign for a smily.

[genius4point0]

A-hole.... :original:


If I was a fan of any other team, I would want Barry to stay too. He is prolly the worst coach in the league and if you have comprable talent you are going to beat him.

[Hein72]

Does ISU know they dont have an atlarge locked up yet?

[Aegyptus]

C'Mon Bears, we are not going to try anything crazy here are we? We need multiple bids. You need a new coach ... get the picture?

[CaliRdBrd]

Does ISU know they dont have an atlarge locked up yet?
What? This can't be true. Where did you hear this?

[smsandmsuson]

C'Mon Bears, we are not going to try anything crazy here are we? We need multiple bids. You need a new coach ... get the picture?

We already are getting a new coach and we are going to be the multiple bid...Get the picture:lol:

[BTbird]

I like Barry so much that I'm rooting for the Bears!

:bears:

[kyyle23]

ESPN has the Bears up 31-30 at the half.

Quite the spirited gamethread we have going here ;)

[chuckywang]

Is this game televised or streamed online?

[bears1]

47-42 Bears with 11:20 to go.

[bears1]

its on fox sports midwest

[bearhair]

If you cant get it on the tube, you can go to Missouri Valley Conference, click on Ill State and then on GameTracker... not much but its something.

[chuckywang]

its on fox sports midwest

Urgh .. sometimes Comcast broadcasts FSN - Midwest games on CSN Midwest, but a stupid Blackhawks game is on here in Chicago.

What's that website that streams sports games?

[god shammgod]

fox sports midwest is showin a damn blue jackets hockey game here

come on illinois state......i really wanna see this team in the ncaa tourney

any place to listen to the game?

[Aegyptus]

We already are getting a new coach and we are going to be the multiple bid...Get the picture:lol:

Oh, I get that picture alright ... but you better freaking win it all ... and if you do, then you might have trouble with your coaching situation.

Bears 49
Birds 44

[Hein72]

MSU's players certainly want there coach to keep his job. :redbirds: is up 55-51 at the under 4.

[chuckywang]

http://www.ktxrfm.com/Article.asp?id=532342 to listen online.

Looks like Ill state up 3 with 1:20 left.

[Aegyptus]

Whew. Illinois State goes on a run and has the lead.

Started to worry me for a minute there. I am all about the multiple bids and even with a loss tomorrow, Illinois State should be in - although it will be close. A loss tonight, though, probably would have put them on the outside.

Get em next year Bears. New stadium. New coach. New attitude. Exciting.

[chuckywang]

Redbirds win 63-58.

[upsaluki]

Bye Barry. You will be missed. Nice game Redbirds.

[salukis2112]

Yes Barry's gotta be gone, MSU had chances in this one and they blew it.

[WSUbballer]

That's too bad for Barry.

I really thought MSU had a chance to run this thing..

Good win Redbirds.

[TNMSUFAN]

Yes Barry's gotta be gone, MSU had chances in this one and they blew it.

The story of Barry's coaching career at Missouri State...29-46 in games decided by 5pts or less.

As howabout said on Bear Nation we would like to thank Barry for his 9 years of service and wish him and his family the best but it is time to move in a different direction

[TNMSUFAN]

Congrats Redbirds!

Your fans have always been respectful toward our program and I wish you guys the best the rest of the tournament and into the NCAA's.

[gutwrencher]

Nice win, Redbirds....congrats. :valley:

[Clawinball]

Great win Redbirds, congrats.

[salukis2112]

Jumping on the only team I like to watch other than my owns bandwagon.

[MSUBear42]

The ISU insane alley oop made #1 on SC

[MSUBear42]

Way to go redbirds, cheering for you the rest of the way.

[Topiary]

Thanks to the Bears and good season. Unfortunately it seemed like there was a cloud over the team all year with the pressure on Hinson. Personally, I like the guy - however I understand not getting to the dance under him over that many years is tough to sit by. I think Hinson will end up coaching a MAC/Horizon/SunBelt team. Personally, if I were Arkansas State, I'd pick him up over crazy Nolan Richardson in a minute

[Nyghtewynd]

One of the departing IlSU fans asked why Barry quit playing the zone defense that was working so well in the second half.

Who cares. It's not my problem any more.

We lost. We won. I'm ready for 08-09.

[Clawinball]

Thanks to our fans, and thanks to our listeners...:bears: :clap:
