ISU Men's Basketball

Hello students and all Sycamore fans!!!

Just wanted to reach out to all of you and thank you for helping us win a Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship and a birth in the NCAA Tournament.  You were integral in our success and really provided the momentum that led us to our strong finish.  The atmosphere in the Hulman Center was exciting and what college basketball is all about.

I would also like to commend you all for what you are doing at our home football games.  I've been here several years and NEVER seen the student section rockin' like it has been this year.  Let's make sure we do the same for the last home game and send this tremendous group of seniors that helped turn the program around out in the right way.  They truly deserve it.

Now here's my challenge to you…can you be the best student section in the Missouri Valley?  Can you make the Hulman Center the toughest place in the conference for opponents to win?  Can you be our 6th Man and help us win games?  I know you can, and I'm counting on you.  I promise you this…YOUR team is going to be fun to watch, play very unselfish and awfully hard FOR YOU.  We want our student body going into battle with us.  We want you to be a big part of every win.

Indiana State means a lot to our staff and our players.  Wearing Indiana State across our chest brings us great pride and a sense of responsibility to you and all our fans.  We don't take this lightly, and we are going to represent all of us the best way we can.  There's nothing more fun than being with a bunch of your friends and fellow students and supporting your team, going crazy at games, getting all over the other team and yes, celebrating victories…and we have to give you plenty of chances to do just that.

Thank you for all you do and have done.  We owe you an awful lot.  Hope to see you ALL at the games.

Go Trees!!!!

ISU Women's Basketball

Hello Sycamore Fans,

On behalf of the 2011-2012 ISU Women's Basketball team and staff, I want to welcome you into our favorite time of the year … BASKETBALL SEASON!  This year's squad has had a very productive and rewarding off-season, and we are extremely anxious to get things started on Friday, November 11.  We tip-off  the Pre-Season Women's National Invitational (WNIT) with a first round match-up against the Detroit Titans at 8:05 p.m. inside the Hulman Center.  

We were fortunate enough to receive a home contest in the WNIT because of your basketball program's history and tremendous crowd support.  Your women's basketball team was ranked 23rd in the nation last year in home attendance and 1st in the Missouri Valley Conference with over 4,100 fans per home game.  THANK YOU for being the best 6th man in the MVC.  We are extremely grateful for all of your support and hope to see even bigger crowds inside the Hulman Center this season.  Our players enjoy nothing more than playing in front of large crowds, especially amongst their peers that they interact with on a daily basis around campus.  

This year's team is made up of eight returners and six newcomers who will compete for a Missouri Valley Conference championship.  Led by captains Brittany Schoen, Shannon Thomas, and Taylor Whitley, we have high goals for the 2011-2012 basketball season, and we will continue our quest to become the first team in program history to reach the NCAA tournament.  

On behalf of our entire team, we hope to see all of you inside the Hulman Center this season.  As a program, we are continually looking for ways to give back to the community and Indiana State, which supports us in many ways.  If there is an event or organization that our women's basketball program can assist you with, please feel free to contact our office.  As our schedule allows, we will be more than happy to be a part of the many great things happening around campus!

Once again, we look forward to another exciting year of SYCAMORE BASKETBALL!  See you in the Hulman Center soon to share the experience of Indiana State Basketball with us all season long!  

GO SYCAMORES,
