***IUE BOYS BASKETBALL SENIOR NIGHT***

02/17/2011

This weekend is one of the biggest games of the whole season for the IUE boys bball team! Why?, you may ask! Well it is one of the biggest weekends because not only are the boys playing their biggest rival, it is also Tyler Rigby and Brent Burris senior night!

This is significant because both Tyler and Brent have been apart of the building of the bball team from the ground up! Brent has been a red wolve from day one and has grown to be one of the top players that has ever come through IUE! Tyler was a transfer from IUSoutheast which is another reason the game is a good one to watch! Because he is playing against players he used to play with when he attended school there. Also Tyler has been the leader of the redwolves for 3 years now! He has set records and pushed the bar very high for IUE bball.

The Red Wolves record is 19-8! With one of their losses being from IUSoutheast earlier in the season. I attended that game, and the Red Wolves just weren't on there normal level of play! But i know that this weekend the skill level and the intensity of the game will be turned up and i predict some of the best basketball of the season to be played!

So I want to say Congrats to Brent and Tyler for all their accomplishments with not only basketball but with school as well! And Good luck to them an the team :) LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
