Did you know Kyle McIntosh was hurt? No mention of it.
This is a legitimate question ... When you talk about how Ill St. is performing this year and yet make no mention of the recent loss of one of their best players ....
"Illinois State’s hopes of earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament took a hit this week as second-leading scorer and rebounder MiKyle McIntosh underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee.
McIntosh injured his knee during a Jan. 21 game against Drake, and played part of the following game on Jan. 25 against Indiana State. The preseason all-conference pick hasn’t played since. The 6’7 junior underwent surgery after an MRI on Monday revealed the tear."
Another factor that I always look at in these conference match-ups - what is recent history? Last year Ill St. won this match-up on its home floor home and then turned around and lost at Wich St. by 16.
