Nice win after an awful start and terrible shooting. We should be in first in the MVC - still pissed about losing to Indibanana St due to no Rupert, no JD, no Scooter.

I'll keep taking wins no matter how they get them but the offense has got to be figured out.  Guessing Wonders sat because of Drake's athleticism but man they could have used some points in the first half.  Can't rely on Domask going Superman every night to bail out the rest of the team.

If there’s equality in fair competition, Trent Browns minutes should be there for the taking. Great kid and teammate, but his play does not justify his starting spot or minutes played. 

We desperately need another reliable scorer.

Absolutely thrilled with this win though. Battled through bad shooting to get the huge W.

--Insert something witty here--

Add another huge win for Coach Mullins and our Salukis! Marcus Domask is a pretty good basketball player. JD had yet another solid performance, as he continues his recovery from back injury. Experience he brings is a plus.

This team found a way tonight. Last year we played them close three times and lost. 12-4 and 4-1 MVC. 

Enjoy this one. UNI will most certainly be an extreme challenge on Saturday.   OHHHHHHH AND

GO DAWGS!!!

I agree. Not sure why BM is starting him. Plays hard but doesn't help on O. Has a hard time with really quick players like Wilkins.

Domask POG - saying how he likes JD's rebounding last few games, Clarence's ability to  finish, and Scooter's need to get in shape! (LOL)

We have not lost since Rupert has been in the starting line up. Also, I think tempo played a significant part of this game. We are picking up the tempo (even though the score doesn't reflect it tonite), pressuring the ball on the inbounds plays and wearing teams down in the 2nd half.

UNI is really young and not that good. It's at their place....and Bowen Born can score. Lance needs to shut his Iowa Hillbilly ass down - we win.

DAWGS!

We need the guys on the floor to shoot better as much or more than we need the bench guys.  To put it in perspective, Foster is 3 - 13 (23%) in his last 6 games and that includes a 2-4 against Div 2 Lincoln, otherwise it would be 1-9 (11%).  Surely he is a MUCH better shooter than that, but he isn't the ultimate answer.  The answer is to somehow get the experienced/proven guys like Jones, Newton and Domask to start hitting their shots more consistently.

Rodney Watson was built to be a color guy! He ads a ton to the broadcast.

Domask is making some memories. What a season he’s had.

Let’s figure out a way to get him a little more help and Arch Madness could be fun.

 I wouldn’t list Newton as “proven”. How do we know what we have in Wonders if he never sees any significant minutes? I recognize Cade was a victim of need or he would be redshirted. Wonders should have about 50% of Browns minutes. X should never sit unless in foul trouble, he’s the floor general we have needed for several years.

On a side note, Loyola got smoked tonight by Davidson (80-57).   I normally try to be the better person, but this team was MADE by the MVC and then bolted.  I wouldn't shed a tear if they fall to the bottom of the league annually in the A-10.

Best defense I've seen from the Salukis since floorburn U. Jones did a helluva job guarding Devries doing his Tony Young impersonation. Marcus showed he is the best player in the Valley. What a fun game.
