Such a good win, it’s nice to have hope for the future! 10th place? Not us!
KenPom has SIU avoiding Thursday as of right now
As Coach B said, we were the better team most of the game. If we had shot FTs a little better, this game wouldn't have been quite so close!
Eric McGill passed up a lot of open shots tonight for some reason. Like to see him take those - he's a good shooter.
Lance Jones was the Mike Reis - Greg Starrick (Vogler Ford) Memorial Player of the Game.
20 pts, 4 rbs, 2 asts, 2 stls, and not a single turnover in 38 minutes! Now if he could hit those FTs a little better, could easily have had 25. He needs to take a few more breaths at the FT line - seems like he shoots it up a little too quickly. Great game by Lance.
Great to see Trent Brown play great D and hit some threes too. Really like our freshmen!
Great team game. Good defense can make up for a lot of sins!
The outcome was a real head-scratcher if you just take a cursory look at the stats (number of shots made/attemped, shooting percentage, 3 pt shooting percentage, rebound margin). But when you look at TOs and steals it all makes sense. This game was won in hard-nosed fashion.

They had 16 to our 6 TOs - we've been much better at hanging on to the ball. We also had 12
FTs to their 2. I was glad to AJ Green miss one!!!!!!!
Bryan Mullins is working a miracle before our very eyes.

Good thing Brown is a good shooter cause his defense is brutal. Green just drove by him.
You’ve got to be kidding, Brown held Green to 2 points in the first half.
Great win, fellas! Did not expect to win this, but with our damn good defense, anything is possible.
Our guys are working their tails off day in and day out... it really shows. Can’t wait to see where we are at come March.

I agree he's not the quickest guy out there, but he's been pretty good on D - and was very good tonight. A lot of D is technique and really hard work. Not a player in the world that hasn't had an opponent drive by them once in a while. And AJ Green is a darn good player.
I thought Jones and Domask also played good D tonight. 5 steals between them
I (and you!) so love the culture that BMull is bringing back to this program! Thank you, Bryan, for making us fun to watch again!
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! 😀
