Salukis played Drake pretty close in their one meeting in Carbondale but Drake pulled away in the last 4 or so minutes.  Gonna be tough without Mayo maybe but let's give them our best shot.

Truly a nothing to lose situation. All the pressure is on Drake. I believe we will give them a game!

Hope so. Dibba, Davis, and all the guys that played heavy minutes need a good night's sleep.

Sure hope Mayo can play...but I doubt it. Sykes has done a good job picking up the slack.

Man, guard depth is going to be an issue in this one with Mayo likely out. Really need another solid game from Sykes and/or a hot game from Steffe to have a chance.

I’d imagine Kennard will be on Stirtz a lot but then you have to worry about foul trouble (again).

One minute, you’re in St. Louis watching a terrific win against Indiana State. The next, you’re in Paducah, KY in a hospital with a 4 month old with RSV. I’ll be watching this one on an IPad. Go Dawgs! Hoping I can make it back for Saturday/Sunday for the end of the tournament.

OH NO! Baptist? That’s where my little Saluki was born. 🙏

That is a bummer. At least you got to see the win! Here’s to your little one recovering quickly.

Yes Baptist. Almost all of my family was born there, myself included.

Yikes, very sorry to hear! Wishing a smooth recovery and a swift return.

Mayo is out for the tournament. 

Suspected that, but terrible news for him and the team.

Your favorite Dawg, Sheridan Sharp, is literally the only available guard off the bench for as long as Southern stays in it.

Yes, I am painfully aware of that ! 😖

I think Hensley got 3 fouls right away against Drake last game and only played like 25 percent of the game. I think. Dawgs still played well that game. If they can make the game a little hectic and speed the tempo up and get Drake out of their element they have a shot. No mayo is no bueno though and a big deal. To be fair the dawgs persevered the one year without domask in the tournament, even jones the following game, and Harvey played out of his mind and they had a decent run. Perhaps I’m reaching, but it is possible to get through it. Just need Steffe to get hot in my opinion. Whether it’s dishing the ball or shooting.

If you get a chance, on ESPN+, go to ~50:45 into yesterdays game.
:35 secs left in 1st half.

Watch the play we run.  ISUblu thinks we’re holding for last shot.  We fake it well…. then the play starts when Dibba calls for the ball and takes the pass from Sykes.

enjoy!
