@maroonloon rebuilds tend to bring out all the impatient people who expect results right away. I tried to tell fellow Sox fans the same thing in 2017 when they were upset we won like 65 games

Tanking does nothing in college, you don't get draft picks or shiny new toys for losing like the White Sox got.  Instead, it negatively impacts your recruiting and who knows if players will stay on board if things are getting worse.

@thunnellvision that’s kinda how complete rebuilds work. Look at Bradley took almost 5 years, other programs about the same length. You have to get too a position of upper classmen all together 

Yeah, I thought we were further along after the start to the year. Looks like it’ll take a couple years.

Bow Em

@salukiworld but there’s literally no indication of that. Mullia and domask and this is a Friday team. Incoming freshmen have been great. This was always going to be one of the worst years of the new regime.

Everyone is back next year in the MVC.  The league isn't changing.  Domask and Muila aren't the difference between this being in the top tier of the Valley and being the absolute worst team in the conference.  SIU got blown out of the building twice with Domask against Drake and they weren't winning most of these games with him.

Yeah, I think saying this team is gonna finish 10th the next two years is a stretch. This team will get a boost next year. I just don’t know how long it will be til they’re back in the top half. We’ll see. Hoping for the best.

This is the correct take

@salukiworld I’m not sure what you are expecting. You clearly have your mind made up. I guess you will have to personally wait and see, that’s the only thing convincing you and people like Saluki 4 life

Prim has nearly outrebounded the entire SIU team by himself. Wow

I'm tired of the Domask excuse for this team getting blown out of the gym almost every night.  Domask is great and a huge loss but he's not Michael Jordan or LeBron.  I see other teams in the Valley competing every night with the same amount of talent as SIU or less talent than SIU.

@salukiworld and I’m tired of people who just completely ignore facts because they are upset we didn’t win the league in his first two years. There’s logic and being impatient for no reason. Domask is all conference first team player material. Sorry get over your self.

Winning the league?  Nobody is expecting that.  I'm expecting the team to be a little more competitive.  They've been blown out of the gym way too many times in Valley play this year.  They're probably the worst team in the conference.  The team behind them beat them by 25 on their floor.

There's a difference between expecting to win the conference and expecting to finish better than 2nd to last

Clearly there is a lot of work still to do on this roster, beyond the incoming high school kids, who look good on paper.

The past few weeks have made it apparent more athletes are needed, and simply assuming the current group will be way better just by getting a year older is naive.

I’m still optimistic but also clear-eyed about what they have on the roster and what they don’t. The months of April and May will be critical if Southern is going to put enough pieces around Domask and Jones to do something these next couple years.

@salukiworld let’s see youngest team in the valley, 6 games in 12 days. Without two high talent players. What do you think that equals ?

I can accept losing if there was more of an effort put forward.  This game was unwatchable from the beginning and I can't really find any positives from it.  They went down 14-0 right away and the game was over.  And this is the 2nd time in 3 home games that it's happened.
