I'd almost rather see Eric Butler get Long's minutes at this point
Last year Jones was my whipping boy EARLY in the season and he turned it around 100%. This year it's Long, I simply don't think he's a good player and it frustrates me to see him on the floor right now. Hopefully, he will turn things around !!!
I think that's 3 straight TO's by Jones, unless I missed the last one.
SIU 21
Murray St 21
7:14 1st
Pretty fun and sloppy game so far. 16 combined turnovers between the teams. Murray St. with Williams and Whitley both with 2 fouls.
I'll say it again: D'Avanzo looks a bit heftier than 205: he's got to be 220 at least; looks like Matt Shaw out there, with a tad more height.

Unless my scorecard is mistaken, Domask has been held scoreless so far in the 1st half. Harvey leading with 9pts and D'Avanzo with 8.
Rebounding is much better so far tonight. Harvey, Domask, and D'Avanzo are hitting the boards hard.
Looking much better on the inside this game, boxing out, getting rebounds. D'Avanzo is the real deal. We need to give him his extra year!
Great defense by Brown !!!!
SIU 40
Murray State 32
Halftime
Lance Jones with a 3 at the end of the half. D'Avanzo leads all SIU scorers with 10. Harvey leading all SIU rebounders with 5.
Murray is lucky to be within 8 points. We are seriously outplaying them.
Nice first half! Things really fell in place there at the end.

I think Reis has developed "sometimers". I notice he will often, during b'casts, forget something that happened earlier. Just now, going to commercial at the end of the half he notes that the Dawgs have their largest lead at 8. They led by 10, 12-2, much earlier. Hmmmm...
If you're gonna reply to me in the forums, please quote what I wrote that you're replying to so I have a clue...thanks! 😀
Glad to see guys like D’Avanzo and Harvey having success against legit opposition. Bodes well. And overall, much better team rebounding.
I really like this team. I like them a lot. Its really hard not to be excited about this group. It is a shame about Muila, man his skill-set would look nice in there, but whoa, the next couple years have a chance to be a lot of fun and really good times in Saluki-land.
Here's hoping Anthony uses that extra year of eligibility for us!
