I will be there but quite honestly it is hard to get excited about a team that decides not to show up for big games, as in yesterday for example. 

The tournament is fun regardless of SIU being awful. My boy is obsessed with it so this should be a real treat for him. That’s why we are still going lol

It's possible SIU ends up falling below Indiana State in NET, only matters for uniform color though

We end up with the 8 seed, but it was close. Our NET is 197 and Indiana State's NET is 203.

One of these years (or decades) SIU is going to go into an Arch Madness with a chance to win again.  Just don't know if that's coming anytime soon.

@salukiworld It will be never if they continue to recruit players with the mental toughness of this bunch.  No drive to win, no pride, no desire to consistently compete, etc.........

I think Luke Walsh has that mentality without knowing him well.  Can they supplement him with other guys with that mentality?  TBD

@salukiworld I’m still optimistic about this coaching staff. I think they have the coaching and recruiting chops to get it done.

@saluki44 I, too, believe this coaching staff has what it takes to ultimately succeed.

The had a legit chance under Mullins.  Gave Drake their most competitive game of the tournament and were in it at the under 4.  We gave up on that to get a whiny coach with one of the worst attitudes toward coaching I have ever seen.  His relentless negativity is exhausting.

How?  The head coach isn't optimistic about anything.  He talks and acts like he hates his job, hates the kids he coaches.  I have never seen someone so negative.  If I am a good player with options I am not walking but RUNNING somewhere else.

They never had a legit chance under Mullins.  Had 2 Big Ten starters and were a distant 3rd in the conference in a down year for the Valley overall.  Drake went down 9-0 in that game and then went on a 30-6 run.  They made it a game and then Drake put them away to the point where SIU pulled their starters early and we had garbage time.

SIU won 1 Arch Madness game under Mullins in 5 years.  That is not good enough.

Is there a Mullins-Insider.com for a member to post at?
