BYU turned out to be pretty damn good this season. Our crew left Provo so impressed with BYU. Happy for their fans and program. Feel for the Cougars not getting into the CFP but what a turnaround season for them. Classy fan base that treated us great.

What North Dakota State continues to do “looks” easy. but my goodness, to be the “Super Bowl” every week for each team you play and perform at the level they do is special. Far from easy. All credit to that staff and the players.

I’m not in the proper mindset to tweet probably what I want. All I will say is to UNI, SDSU, and NDSU. Do your thing. Show the country why this is and always will be the best FCS league. We are behind you.

Coach Hannahs is beyond first class. He always makes everyone in his program feel like they play a huge role. Glad I got to call him tonight and thank him for all he’s done for me. Truly the best. Thanks for sharing, Rick!.
Really cool story involving my buddy and former Sycamore announcer @_LukePMartin and ISU baseball head coach Mitch Hannahs. Luke wasn’t allowed in ISU dugout during NCAA tourney until coach put him on travel roster so he could be. Coach recently sent Luke a ring from the season.

Time to throw away the NET I guess. Power league teams can use it to inflate their resume, yet mid majors get crushed when they get the metrics right but not enough opportunities. Not a good day for Valley basketball.

I am absolutely heartbroken. I got to see what Coach Mullins was about every day. Not just as a coach. His wife Kady, his two boys Casen and Keegan. Seeing those smiles in the office I will miss. Saluki Nation, this man did it the right way. Forever grateful for Coach Mullins.

Fewest points Indiana State scored this year : 67. No times this year held under 60. In 3 seasons under Schertz, held to under 60 points only 8 combined times, 7 of them came year 1. Tonight will be 15th time this year UVA failed to score 60. 8 times failing to reach 55 points.

The fact we as a league have to hope for that is silly. Clearly multiple bid league with anyone who has eyeballs.
Drake beats Indiana State to win the Missouri Valley and get the auto bid. Darian DeVries making back-to-back NCAA tourney appearances and has gone 3 times in his 6 years at the helm. Let’s hope Indiana State gets the at-large bid.

I know Joe Lunardi said "to the extreme" case before saying the following for MVC to get multiple bids. but to say that Indiana St has to win out & win every game by 20+pts (Like, what?), make Arch Madness final and lose in 4 OT by 1pt. Talk about a middle finger to our league.

Nothing will ever surprise me what ISU Baseball accomplishes because of Mitch Hannahs and the culture he has built. This program will get back to Omaha because they just keep raising the bar. Known so many of these guys since their day one with us. Heads always held high!.
What a team. What a season. First time in the Super Regionals, the second time won a Regional round. MVC Regular Season and MVC Tournament Champions. The 2023 season will be one to remember. #MarchOn x #RoadToOmaha

It will be fitting that on his senior day, Trent Brown will play in his 140th career Saluki game. He will sit in first all alone in program history for most games played in Saluki uniform. Even better he is having his best year in his final year. Won't find a better man.

Let me get this straight. Indiana State is 24-2 in its last 26 games. Non-conference SOS of 2, overall SOS in the top 50, first place in the MVC, includes four road wins vs RPI top 100, including the #5 team on their field by 8 runs. But yes. ISU is not Top 25 material 🤦♂️.

Terre Haute was great to me and I am thrilled they get a chance to have a special environment. That day in 2019 was awesome but it was more around the reunion. That place is sold out tomorrow because of the current team. They've earned it and hope all soak it up tomorrow.
Indiana State has announced the Sycamore men's basketball game Saturday is now officially a sellout at the Hulman Center against Bradley. This marks ISU's first home sellout since 2019 when the school honored their 1979 nationally runner-up squad.
