Did anyone else read the article today? Al Beye is quoted "You aren't supposed to win road games" :shock: and then Durham says "It just wasn't our weekend" I could rant and rave about this for a while, but I will simply say this is the wrong mind set to be in if you want to be a champion.

Exactly! If you want to be a power team consistenly in conference YOU CANNOT have that attitude. If you are a good basketball team/program you should be able to go into anyone's home court and give them H*LL. Yes, you may lose .. but you don't go in there saying/believing that you can't win at someone's gym. That is NONSENSE!

This is the main thing that bugs me about the attitude of the bball program (HO HUM ATTITUDE). In order to push the program higher you must set HIGH GOALS and try to achieve those goals. As far as I know, the basket is still 10 feet tall and each team has 5 players on the court at each gym (HOME OR AWAY?). This is correct no? (back me up on this Yaeger :) ).

I think the basket in Bozo is 10 feet and 1/4 inch. Hence 59% at home 33% on the road.

Somebody's been watching Hoosiers. :wink:

Hey, maybe we should rent that for the team to watch on the next road trip!

So according to Beye, these 2 home games should be a lock for MSU this week then. I mean, "You just don't go into another teams gym and win on the road" :)


Lets get it done this week Cats ... NO ONE COMES INTO OUR HOUSE AND GETS A W ... NO ONE!

yes, we play ISU tomorrow and Webber Saturday. We need to win I can't stress how big it is to win the next three games!! All we need is a little bit of three point shooting and a few dunks from the big guys.
