They’re not gonna be a Thursday team. The Valley sucks too bad for that to happen.
But Darth Barkeep might have to shut the board down for a few weeks if it does.

Outside of Evansville, the rest of the league has a lot of good to decent teams. And SIU has been more decent than good. They’ll have a lot more of these close games and will have to win some.

If SIU loses to Indiana State, they're 2-4 and then go to Bradley and get Loyola back to back. And you still have to factor in they have to go to Drake and to Northern Iowa.
I just looked it up and SIU is 9-23 in their last 32 Missouri Valley games. That's so sobering.
This will sound vacuous and yes, I've been drinking. Who isn't after that game?
This team has still not played a complete game yet, IMHO. Perhaps they won't this year. Still, I want to believe they have some gumption in them and things will get better. Sometimes it appears things are really clicking and then, catastrophe. Hey, a man has to dream.
March on triumphantly!
We had what---3 moving screen calls? Watching the UNI game i thought the MVC had legalized the traveling screen.

Holy cow. That’s stunning.
I have no poems, bobber 🙁
I just don’t want these tough losses to spin the team out of control. It’s not a good conference year, but the bottom half is actually a little better than I thought.
Bow Em
Ok finally time for a barkeep rant.
there is zero excuse to not get a shot. We were down one and should have gotten a shot in at about 10 seconds at the latest. No reason to play score or lose. If you miss you can foul and still be down at the most 3 points. That is on Bryan 100%. He made great halftime adjustments but I am floored by the end of the game.
I don’t know if Lance is hurting worse than we think. He among others were just standing around the three point line watching on offense. No movement at all. They were missing one of their best players and it was there for the taking. This one hurts

Darth Barkeep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like it
Jones is hurting. It’s been obvious for a long time.
but that particular injury doesn’t heal, as others have pointed out.

Yes on the timing, and God forbid if they could’ve gotten a rare offensive rebound with Brodie fouled out. Though I’m sure freakin’ Sturtz would have gotten it.

Marcus Domask postgame:
Kind of an unusual Reis comment after the commercial after the Domask interview about access to players after losses and who chooses the players (them) and how other radio teams kinda rotate players for postgames.
I don’t think it was necessary to have Marcus on tonight. Heck, he could be the postgame player in most games.
But I appreciated Reis being honest with the public. And most fans, way more than show up here, listen to that postgame.
It is kinda funny to see like 32 people viewing the game thread and then it jumps to 75 after the game ends.
Domask’s back has to be hurting b/c he’s carrying this team offensively. So many empty possessions with people standing around watching. When Domask gets doubled, no one is cutting to the basket, just standing around making themselves super easy to guard with one less defender. Jones is for sure hurting…1-6 and 3 TOs and things aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Coupet disappeared and so did Verplanken again. Really disappointing result (more so than UNI), this game was there for the taking.
Great defensive effort in the second half…so we got that going for us which is nice.

Domask outscored the rest of the starting lineup 15-14
