With the way he schedules the only way this team makes ncaa is winning the valley tournament. Regular season is meaningless.

Yep. And every year, any of 4 or 5 teams are capable of winning the Valley tournament. SIU just never does.

This team stays eligible and healthy, will be the best team we've had in ten plus years. Legit shot at the Valley and making the tourney.

Achieving an NCAA appearance once every 10 or 15 years  is the definition of a low level mid major basketball program.

...and *never* achieving an NCAA appearance is the definition of a Barry Hinson Basketball program.

Given Hinson's track record, I wouldn't hold your breath

If it is true that you get free tickets unlike those of us who have paid for our tickets for many years, why are you posting in this thread?

The academic achievements deserve their own thread. I am happy for the kids. They deserve better than Barry IMO - that’s the whole point people were trying to make and got tarred and feathered for.

Great job to the team!  This is a wonderful achievement. 

It's a shame that Hucky gets a $20k bonus from it.

Ha- you're funny--I paid for tickets for for 28 years for every home game of football and basketball from 1972-2000--I also donated all my pay checks (12 months) from reporting on the teams for in 2000-01 to SIU athletics--

Still an odd statement for this thread. I'm glad the students are doing well but that has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

IMO it did. The two statements prior to my post insinuated that the team was NOT doing well scholastically   I just answered that they were--at least last semester.

I got a call from the ticket office today about my season tickets. I told them I will not renew them and they asked me why. I told her I have no confidence in the current coach and until he is gone I will not be spending my money on season tickets.
