They probably should be leaving about now.
March on triumphantly!
Quality wins have been in short supply. Not to be overly dramatic, but, IMO, this is virtually a must-win to salvage anything redeeming from this conference season. Sure, they could lose and maybe still edge out Illinois State for the 6 seed if the head-to-heads go well, but how would Saluki fans feel about going 0-4 in HOME games against the league's top four teams?
I know how I'd feel ... not good.
So yeah, find a way to pull this one out. Missouri State can be a handful when they're on, but at some point you've got to beat a good team if you want to be taken seriously.

Yeah, the so-called winter storm will already have started by tomorrow night, and with a late start, crowd probably won’t be much.
But it’s on TV, so it’s not like the old days where we could hardly ever see the team on the road or when circumstances like this arise.
50% chance of > .25" of ice for this area! Snow anywhere from 4 - 8 " by Thurs.
...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON WEDNESDAY TO 6 AM CST
FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation is possible. Total snow and
sleet accumulations of 2 to 5 inches, and ice accumulations of
one tenth of an inch with locally higher amounts possible.
* WHERE...Portions of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.
This area is generally along and west of a line from Poplar
Bluff and Cape Girardeau Missouri to Marion and Albion
Illinois.
* WHEN...From Wednesday afternoon through late Thursday night.
* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are possible due to the
ice. Travel could be nearly impossible and should be avoided
unless absolutely necessary. The hazardous conditions could
impact those travelers during the morning or evening commutes,
especially on Thursday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
Damn, Woogers. Scaring the hell out of people. 😆
I am guessing Missouri State is already in town to get ahead of the weather. Otherwise, I would think the mvc would seriously consider postponing the game. I am a season ticket holder but live over 2 hours north of Carbondale where we will be getting up to a foot of snow. Needless to say, I won't be able to make the game. I wish they were postponing the game to allow for a much bigger crowd later in the month. Unfortunately, the arena will probably be virtually empty, negating much of the home court advantage.
Up to date local weather says the immediate area will see the biggest impact after midnight(second wave). Substantial ice keeps moving to the south. I will likely be there. 🏀

Good, I hope the students and dawg pound show up too. Most will walk to the game, so I am hopeful!

I'll be there rain, snow, ice, sleet, locusts, whatever.

They're already in town. I saw them practicing at Banterra around 3:30pm
