Great win....fun team to watch.
we can all see something special is brewing with BM.
SO PUMPED !!!!!!!!!!!!!
after only 2 games, even with the shortcomings, it's obvious. this is our best team in about 10 years. damn that was nice.
Great to beat Murray.
Second half was pretty ragged both ways. Salukis have been really good at the FT line, which can win you some close games.
Interesting that Filewich was on the floor late. Rebounding remains the biggest weakness, but help is on the way next year.
On to Indy!
Over on the Racers message board, this one sums it up well:
I’ll add that it’s impressive to beat a pretty tough opponent on a night when Domask wasn’t in great form.

I was just going to post this same thing!

The MVC just became a lot harder to win for 9 other teams. Very nice win. Huge improvement. Wish we all could be there in person to cheer these boys on.
BTW.................. I ordered a CUTOUT in support of the SIU Basketball team and was disappointed they were not set up for tonight's game. If you see a guy with a grey SIU shirt on holding a 40" Muskie, that's me !!!!

Hefferman said they hope to have them up for the North Dakota games
This game was won at the FT line.
We shot 80 percent on 20-26 shooting, and they only got to the line seven times. That is generally sign that you're doing something right. I'm also sure their message board is full of "we got beaten by the refs" b.s., but then again, ours would be too if the numbers were against us. 😛

I may be a bit high from that win but...I think our team performance and dynamic are better off not having Aaron Cook this year.
Did any one notice that during the final 3 minutes of the game, we had 3 sophs and 2 frosh on the court? With a few seconds of D'Avanzo at the very end.
Sweet win - we looked way better than at SEMO! Really like the direction of this team!
Good to see Brown shoot it better and Jones to shoot it better. Lance was 4 for 4 from line with two critical FTs late and 2 - 2 from 3. His shooting has improved. Banks is going to be a stud for us!! Brown played tough D tonight too. Real pest on a good player.
Nice balanced scoring: Domask 13, Davanzo 13, Harvey 12, Jones 10, Banks 10, Brown 6, Verplancken 5! We shot 47% from 3, 80% from FT line.
DAWGS! DAWGS! DAWGS! Mullins is getting it done!
Mullins had nice things to say about everyone post game. Trent's D, Davanzo's game, etc. He said he was really proud of Lance and that he's still a long way from the player he will be in a month!!! Rodney Watson saying Trent Brown is trying out for the Tony Young role!!
Anybody miss Barbeque??? (didn't think so!!) LOL
