Between having whipped this team yesterday and now having Butler added for Monday, this is the ultimate trap game. Would be great to continue to lean on the bench to keep the starters relatively fresh, something the coaches will have to commit to doing during all these back-to-backs this season. Add me to those who would like to see at least a little bit of Eric Butler out there for a few minutes here and there (I'm hoping he can challenge Long for time as the season goes along).

Two factors, Turn around (tournament style, we gotta play hard no matter how tired)
Butler will be a tough game but they have Indiana on Saturday, so we will be about even on rest, (factor in a 4 hour bus ride)
Salukis are -400, 8.5 point favorites per BetMGM
WTH is "-400"? Thanks.

It means pretty decent favorites, for comparison the Packers are -400 home favorites against the Carolina Panthers this weekend
Here are Salukis that are currently in the top 100 of all D1 players in specific stats on KenPom (excluding games against lower than D1 competition). Granted it's a small 3 game sample size and SIU hasn't played great competition but this is still really impressive:
Marcus Domask:
68th in fouls committed per 40 minutes (the less you foul, the better for this stat)
87th in free throw % (18-20, 90%)
Ben Harvey:
78th in fouls drawn per 40 minutes
36th in free throw rate (the more times you get to the FT line, the better for this stat)
49th in 3 point percentage (5-9, 56%)
Lance Jones:
84th in assist rate (assists divided by the field goals made by the player's teammates while he's on the court)
59th in steal % (percentage of possessions where the player records a steal while he is on the court. Bryan Mullins was #2 in the country in this stat in his Freshman season)
21st in fouls committed per 40 minutes
58th in 3 point percentage (6-11, 54.5%)
Dalton Banks:
19th in the country in effective field goal % ((tabulated by taking (field goals made + 0.5*3 pointers made/field goals attempted)). This basically weights 3 pointers made higher than field goal % would)
14th in the country in true shooting % (Similar to effective field goal % but also adds in trips to the free throw line)
Trent Brown:
70th in the country in turnover rate (takes the percentage of possessions used on turnovers. The less turnovers you have on possessions played, the better)
58th in the country in 3 point percentage (6-11, 54.5%)
As a team on offense (out of 357 D1 schools):
18th in effective field goal percentage
78th in turnover percentage
6th in free throws attempts/field goal attempts
1st in 3 point percentage
33rd in free throw percentage
51st in non-steal turnover percentage
78th in percentage of scoring coming from 3 pointers
22nd in percentage of scoring coming from free throws
As a team on defense (out of 357 D1 schools):
88th in turnover percentage on defense
8th in free throw attempts/field goal attempts on defense
98th in 2 point percentage against on defense
60th in free throw percentage against on defense
84th in non-steal turnover percentage on defense

the bobber knows nothing about gambling. but i think it means you have to risk losing $400 to win $100 if you bet the game straight up, without points.
again, the bobber is just speculating. he already has enough trouble with the IRS.

The Bobber makes more sense than SalukiWorld, to me at least. More precise explanations are always welcome!

salukiworld is the man. and the bobber knows nothing about betting on the ponies, but if you go to the track, and a horsie is going off at 1-4 odds, for every dollar you want to win you have to risk losing 4. a horsie, or a basketball team with these odds, is considered having 4 chances out of 5 to win, or 80%.
this is like there are 5 women lined up behind 5 separate curtains. 4 of them are beautiful. 1 of them, not so much. they ask you to pick a curtain. did you get lucky?
this is the same chance the salukis have to win today. let's hope they get lucky.

Mike Reis interview with Bryan Mullins:
SIU -400 and ND +400 are betting lines, which means that a better would need to wager $100 on ND, the underdogs, for a shot at winning $400. And a better would need to wager $400 on SIU, the favorite, for a shot at winning $100.
And of course, you can just do the math from there in regards to different size wagers: $200 bet on SIU to win $50, $50 bet on ND to win $200.
I cry myself to sleep at night knowing that I will never get something as atrocious as Floyd Mayweather at -400 vs Conor McGregor ever again. Easy, easy coin.
Go Dawgs! We get on em early so the starters can rest after the baseball schedule. Eric Butler 8 pts. You heard it here first.
Trent Brown is shooting with so much confidence now. I think he had some confidence issues last year and was hesitating a little. Not so much this year.
Filewich with 7 so far. Really didn't expect him to look this good so far
