Good defense by MSU on Drake’s last possession. Bears are going to win this one.

What a mess of an ending. I’ve never seen anything like that.

We need better players. Mullins isn't bringing in enough talented kids. It hurts to say that, but that's what I see. I'm watching virtually all of the games on the net and it's incredibly frustrating to see the constant turnovers and poor play every game. I don't see us beating Murray State down there.

This didn't age well. 🤣

I do think it will be hard to see who will replace Jones and Domask when they finally leave. I am sure a lot of Valley fans think those two have been in Carbondale for at least 10 years.

Read somewhere on Twitter that Bradley has added a Mid-season transfer. 7' 1" 250 lbs forward from Serbia. This adds depth/strength for them for sure.

Home game in Feb. will be another ESPN National TV audience. Yet another positive avenue for recruitment, and opportunity to show the country our beloved Southern Illinois University. 

GO DAWGS!!!

If I had to bet I would put money on both Marcus and Lance returning next year, but who knows.  What I do know though is I think we are starting to see an answer to your question on who's next from the front court: Clarence Rupert.  He's now averaging 7.3 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 70% in just 17 minutes per game ... as a sophomore.  Add in Scottie and Cade's potential, and have we ever had this much talent, size, and depth in the front court?  

I would agree the backcourt needs someone to rise up and become a consistent 3rd scorer; I think Foster is the closest option we have, but you have to think AJ Ferguson might be in that conversation as well as that new 6'6" 3 star recruit we just landed who's name is escaping me.

People should be excited about Davis, seems like a really good two-way player that I think will turn into one of the better players in the Valley.

Interesting to see Murray up vs Bradley at the half by 7
