Re: New Rule for 2015?

Less timeouts? yes, please. The game dragssssssssssssssssssssssssss at the end. Especially if it's close and there are TV timeouts. But more fouls would negate the less timeouts in terms of length of game and stoppage of play. Think about it. If you know you have more fouls, you are likely to play ...

Re: GDT South Dakota State

Sounds like the 'Necks have definitely improved since meeting 'Rabbits in January, although free-throwing still a weak point which hurts in a two-point loss. In monitoring the Summit results it seems to me that, yes, Western has a fighting chance to compete in conference tourney, although odds of wi...

Re: Anyone else about to give up on this season

Let me clarify. I have given up on NCAA bid for this season. I hope to see WIU get into The Big Dance before I shrug off this mortal coil, but it won't be this year. And, like I said, I have been following the Necks since 1969 when I first went to school at WIU. So you can't really say I give up ear...

Re: New commit!

Good size at least. Very raw. Only started playing hoops in high school. First dunk was this season (in a game). The size is encouraging. Good coaching will be essential.

Re: GDT @ Oral Roberts

21 turnovers this late in the season...season high for 'Necks. Does not speak well to team's development.

Re: Anyone else about to give up on this season

Yes. I gave up. I am 63 years old and time is running out for me to see a WIU hoops team in the NCAA tourney. I gave up this year after seeing them in person against U of I Circle. Unless we get big guys we have no chance. Even Covington was not good that day, but I know he is. But big guys. Big guy...

Re: GDT Fort Wayne

Nice win. Sandifer living up to rep. Free throws much better. Attendance still pitiful.
