Indiana State might be more gassed than SIU playing 7 guys. Both these teams are tired though and it's not great basketball. Luckily SIU knocked down 3's this half.
Now THAT is the Jones that we've been waiting for. 3 BIG 3's. And don't forget the D. Just watch him. He is smothering the guy he's guarding.
He kept SIU in it early on by locking down Neese.
I think it's obvious the team is tired and understandably so but this is why depth is important and SIU just doesn't have enough.
But also, Indiana State is playing 7 players and are missing Key and Henry. So I can't be here for excuses.
They regularly play 10 guys deep, that's more depth than 90% of teams play.
Big Ben finally hits one
Nice bench production & defense tonight.

Nice finish to this game except Banks getting hurt at the end
Hopefully Banks is healthy as he has REALLY made a difference here the last few games.
That was Mullins' first win against Indiana State.

Banks coming on has been very good to see. Would be great to see him earn 30 minutes at the point and let Jones play more off the ball.
Excellent ball movement lead to better shots during the run and they finally finished a game off. Banks pog also just one observation during the game this has to be the most bipolar board I have ever read 🤣
Just loved Banks' effort tonight, especially on offense. Just wouldn't give up. Also thought this was Jones' best game in a long time - played excellent D - 3 steals - and 6 RBs, 14 pts. And only 3 TOs.
Was also impressed with DAmico tonight. Getting that non-freshman confidence and maturing. Going to be a really good player for us.
Banks POG!
Dalton Banks playing well gives this team a whole ‘nother dimension. If we’re just competitive on the boards, we can win IF somebody steps up outside of Jones and Domask. Nobody can ever question Jones’ toughness. Also, I really hope D’Amico continues to grow. Every win counts.
THANK THE LORD!!! Lol. You know, the 2000 Salukis started just 9-8, and then ran off 9 of 10. Maybe the guys can get some confidence. I was starting to wonder when they were down 46-41. Team win. Great game Ben Coupet!!
Bow Em
Banks will be on live with Reis after Mullins.
Banks is the POG
