I doubt Jones plays but let’s hope for a good showing. I believe SIU can push them. This team is better then you think
It would have been nice to get Jones and Johnson some time together in these preseason games to build some game chemistry. Interested to see how they play together once Jones is back - that backcourt dynamic between them will be one of the keys to the season.
When I spoke to Lance after the practice he indicated he was going to play this weekend 😀 Of course, it may not be up to him, but he seemed fairly definite.
Weird there's nothing online about tickets from Alabama. I was probably not likely to go anyways, even more so now that we can actually listen to the game.
Seems like this is students only so the lack of tickets make sense. Hope nobody was driving down there.
“Southern Illinois is a really good team with a lot of veteran guys,” Oats said Thursday. “They’re gonna test us again. You can do two scrimmages, two exhibitions, one of each. I like doing one of each because there’s also something different with playing in front of a crowd. I felt like a lot of our new guys – especially the young freshmen, the first time playing against another Division I team against TCU – they got a little shell-shocked, in the first half particularly.
Should be a good test for SIU. Hopefully some of the new guys get some quality PT, so the coaching staff has a better measuring stick regarding how they're going to play during the season. Let's get out of the game injury free!
GO DAWGS!
im not sure how this works as a fundraiser when you don't sell tickets, seems like its a massive miss-out on an opportunity to actually raise some money for a charity to me.

Salukis starters:
Domask, Johnson, Newton, Brown, Rupert
D'Amico first sub and Jones comes in too off the bench
Alabama leads 8-7 at the first media timeout. Domask leads SIU scorers with 5, D'Amico has 2.
So far Domask, Johnson, Newton, Brown, Rupert, Ferguson, D'Amico, Banks, and Jones have all played.
Dalton Banks the leading scorer now with 8 points. Would be awesome if we see an improved outside shot. Has 2 3's so far.
Under 8 media timeout:
Alabama leads 26-18
Banks is the leading scorer with 8, Domask has 7.
