We will probably have a come from behind win... Another slow start for the everyone not named Armon. 

 

I hope McGill starts over Bartley.

Dear Lord I hope we don't lose, but we all know it's very possible.

IF SIU does win, Hucky will prance around the Arena and then talk about how great a win it was...

March on triumphantly!

I have always continued to have hope up to the end of last year and now this year.  I can't really take the continued frustration and disappointment but don't want to stop supporting and following the Salukis.  So I have adopted a new outlook.  I just assume and expect that we are going to lose every game.  That way when we do I'm not disappointed or frustrated because it is what I expect with the current coaching situation.  I anticipate we will lose to Bradley, so if we do actually win I will pleasantly surprised.  That seems sad but about the only way I can continue watching at this point.

The game opens with SIU as an eight-point favorite.

I wouldnt go so far as to say I would be surprised if SIU lost, but I really expect them to win this one and the next one most likely.  They'll putz around .500 most of the conference season, maybe winning a surprise game or two to get them to like 11-7 and a third place finish that Hucky will brag about as being impressive.  Rinse, dry, repeat

I am guessing there will be a standing room only crowd of 2000 there today.

It looks like 2,000 might be generous.

With the awesome offensive display most of them are probably asleep

The Bradley coach tried to go out to eat last night and called an Uber. The elderly Uber driver got stuck in the snow and the coach had to push her out and then he walked back to the hotel.

8 points in 12 minutes. What an embarrassing display of wee wee basketball.
