When I saw SIU was up 11 at the half against a highly beatable team, I'll admit to having some flashbacks to the blown double-digit halftime leads of the past few seasons, especially last year. Very encouraging to see that it wasn't an issue this time. NDSU's awful shooting was a major factor, of course, but still a good thing and a welcome change.
SIU went from 157 to 134 in KenPom just based on this win. Nice bump!

Also the second best defensive rating in the conference as well.
Have not posted in awhile. But the troubling statistic is FREETHROW SHOOTING. The last 3 games habit been burning the nets on Ft’s
I’ve mainly been a bit of a critic through the first few games but tonight I was pretty freakin impressed. Hope we can pull a surprise on Friday!
