We may be able to go up saturday after SIU's friday night win. Where are Saluki fans sitting?

Section 103 and section 105.

Right next to resaluki-88! 😉 

maybe we call all hook up for an early dinner friday night, say 430-6 between sessions.  in the old days, they would let the bobber pick the joint for dinner.  he picked hooters.

I’ll be there Friday hopefully by 6. Got all session tickets for first time.

Last year we got all the awards on Tuesday except coach of the year I think.  Not sure if that changes this year but might get stuff today 

The first half, or in short avoiding the slow start will be key IMO: in both games we've gone into halftime down big (8 and then 12), and then effectively dominated the second halves on both the defensive (limiting Drake to just 25-28 points) and offensive (scoring 32 and 40 points) ends to bring these down to the wire.  In other words, if we can win the first half I think we likely go on to win the game.

@usmcsaluki 

I would agree with that.  If we can hit some shots, REDUCE the turnovers, and play the kind of defense we played in the second half in the last game we have a really good shot.  The defense is the first half was not bad, it was the turnovers and missed shots the created the deficit.  Really need to focus and we should be fine.  Looking forward to a great game and Saluki win!

Drake has had a wildly bad run of late-season injuries the past few years. It's pretty messed up.

As for Fri night, they still have plenty of good players, but they already aren't a great 3-point shooting team, and he's one of their main snipers, and also a quality defender. The grad transfer from Omaha might get more minutes, or they could play with a bigger lineup more often.
