Got to get this W, The ILL state game hurt bad. Fans really should be at this game and show support. it really does make a difference to those players seeing a full arena.This team is in a mvc title race ,let's have some fun. Not going to be easy, tough games ahead, go dawgs!
I think that massive crowd over the break when students were gone was on a Sunday, but they had that balloon drop with all the giveaways.
There is no competition this Sunday with the NFL. Hoping for 6,000+ in attendance.
Should do another balloon drop if that’s what it takes to truly pack the place with 7,000.
Having this game at 1:00 on a Sunday won’t help with any possibly church goers. I’ll be lucky to be there at tip off.
Was thinking the same thing, though I can't be at the game no matter what the time.
i believe that there are certain circumstances in life that the LORD understands.
This one is as must win as it gets
Bryan Mullins pregame:
Yeah, using a grind it out strategy sure makes for a lot of anxiety, even more so with the log jam at center. 2 L in a row and suddenly things aren't looking like a lock to avoid playing on Thursday. That being said, we control our own destiny.
SIU catches a MAJOR break with Clay being out, but this still won't automatically be an easy win. SIU will have to play well in order to do so. Is today another day where Jones has his shot going? If so, we might see a double digit victory.
Looks like a decent crowd but could use more STUDENTS there !!!
Rebounding killing SIU already
SIU playing such good defense but again can't rebound. I expect we'll see JD in here shortly.
Would you believe the Dawgs are currently 6th - SIXTH - in the country in 2-point percentage (57.6)?
And on the flip side, they're 305th (out of 363) in percentage behind the arc, at 31.2%.
Yet it still won't stop this team from taking far too many shots from beyond, when their ability to score inside's been much more successful.

I guess not. LOL
Bears up 10-7, and all five of their buckets are inside the arc, while we're apparently just going to shoot threes all game - 2-6 already.
