Great sim. Got to get the UIC game, though. Remember the ISU debacle. Make the game against Drake matter even more. You can only do that by stepping on teams below you.
Not that it an automatic win, but the ISU game was on the road, this is a home game and I'm confident they WILL WIN.
LancerDawg and I made the trip down from the St. Louis area today. My brother (also an SIU alum) and sister-in-law made the trip from Nashville. It was his first trip to the Arena in 20+ years.
Gotta ask:
How can a team shoot 9-for-32 from 3 and still win by 20?
I think this was Muilla and D'Amico's best games as Salukis.
I think you look at the four teams in first place right now, they will get the Thursday byes. The order may change but that's the teams.
It's inevitable. This team will win or lose whether or not Lance Jones can hit the broad side of a barn.

I think he's talking about the game up there at the end of the regular season.
The stat I loved the most…12 offensive rebounds! We out rebounded them 29-26. Only 9 turnovers (a couple of those in garbage time).
I know they were without Clay, but they still had some big guys in there. Didn’t love the overall 3 point percentage, Jones shot 13…and made 3. I know he’s a volume shooter but sheesh. Need to do the same thing on Wednesday to UIC, build so momentum for Drake.
Nice win, Dawgs! When it got down to 4 I was a bit worried - good response. Offensive rebounds were key.

Good win! Troy did extremely well cutting against the zone and good transition play from the Salukis! Keep it rolling Wednesday!

Mullins, D'Amico, Jones with the media:
Someone in a post sometime back talked about Lance and how sometimes he jumps well and others he doesn't on his 3 point attempts from my angle today at the arena I couldn't tell every time but when he missed today and he was short he was leaning back instead of going straight up also I know MOST was short handed today but when was the last time we beat them by 20 thought it was a great team effort today despite the poor 3 point shooting and 1 last thought the blow up face of BBQ hopefully made its first and last appearance in the arena
I am pleasantly surprised by this absolute beat-down of MSU.

From the before the game, Rodney Watson talked with Paul Lusk about the 1993 NCAA Tournament team:

5800 isn’t the biggest crowd we’ve had all year but dang it was loud today. Had to use the early muffs on the little one lol.
Good win. I could get used to this version of Troy D’Amico.
The Dawg Pound has been great most of the year but for whatever reason(s), a relatively weak student showing today for a pretty big game, and whoever brought the Hinson fathead sign should be suspended. 😑
