Reis with a good Domask interview afterwards. He said coaches have been telling him to be more aggressive. Totally agree.
Good kid. Almost sounds like he doesn’t realize how talented he at times.
He says he was gassed quickly in the early days of practice and first game.
He apparently played all 40 minutes according to Reis.
Still so lucky to have Reis. He’s a pro and he cares.
Verplancken also played 40 - great game by him. Leading scorer with 18 on 7 - 10 shooting!
Wow!
Banks also played great 2nd half - that's encouraging.
Northeastern, 2 - 2, Sunday at 7PM. Go Dawgs!
So we could possibly play Creighton? Round up the boys hope my Dawg Pound shirt still fits.
Saluki Insider? I barely know her!
The flow of this game brought back memories of Williams,Dearman and associates taking down 2 (?) seed Georgia after falling behind by 23 (32-9 I believe).
Ben Harvey apparently having issues with his spleen again. Makes sense since only played 2 minutes against Austin Peay and now not available this weekend.
Northeastern game seems like forever away.
How good are they? Seems like it should be a very winnable game.
Creighton v SIU would be something.
Creighton would be a huge test........and a huge win if The Dawgs could pull it off.
I would be a sweet game to play Creighton in the championship game. What a good rivalry that used to be.
Also can say the Mullins out-coached Boyle tonight. The trap late in the game seemed like something he was saving for just that occasion. It really set the tone for that last minute.

Anyone that was doubting Verplancken's ability to play D1 should stop now. I will be the first to admit while I thought we could win, I had a feeling a lot of things needed to go our way. And here's the thing, we won and I don't think that was close to our best performance. Go Dawgs!
I thought that Dalton Banks had a nice game last night, too.
For all of the naysayers pessimistic people and complainers I understand your passion but please shut the blank up and let this team develop and grow as I believe they are going to fine also you should always believe your are going to win not lose no matter who is going to be your opponent
I expected some good-natured ribbing after predicting we'd get our asses handed to us last night. But this post is just ignorant and uncalled for. I am as passionate about Saluki Basketball as ANYBODY you know. Please don't try to tell me or anyone else "how to be a fan." It just makes you look like a douchebag.
Great win last night. Go Dawgs! See you at the football game.
@rockin-dawg I didn't single any in particular out but thanks for pointing out your sensitivity also I did not sink to your level of name calling so I am sorry to have hurt your feelings hope the future is bright for all Salukis thanks for reading

You mean we shouldn't just blindly shut up other than the occasional lamb-like bleat of total compliance? Couldn't agree more! LOL
My bleat: I told you guys we could beat this Colorado team and we did.
And we can beat Creighton or Colorado State too! Colorado St is 31 is latest AP poll. Creighton and Colo State are getting some votes in the coaches poll. As was Colorado!!
Go Dawgs!!
