Very nice!!!
Murray State is going to be a very good barometer for this team. They have some big men and are a perennial contender in their league. If the Salukis can play well and win this game, I think that opens the door to go undefeated until January.

Murray State always plays well, (like Creighton and Wichita State were, they are always a tough team)
D'Amico is 6'5. I doubt he slots in at the 4 very often.
I think that height may have been from his sophomore year...I see him listed at 6'7 on Prep Hoops and most articles talking about him list him at 6'7. I know Verbal Commits lists 6'5, but I think he's grown.
If he has grown thats great. I don't really worry about him putting on muscle, from most accounts Marcus Edwards, despite his youth, is a great strength coach. And I eagerly look forward to SIU being a team that looks like it has 2 linebackers and 3 safeties running up and down the court.
Also I don't see Dembele transferring, at least until after next season.
Video highlights!

I honestly am not confident Dembele will ever play meaningful minutes, based on both health and skill level. That being said, I'd say his return is 50/50.

I think you are correct. He seems to have the same type of injury that ruined the careers of Djimbe and Bol.
(Inflammatory political snark)
It is unfortunate. The kid is strong as an ox, but the wheels are failing him.
I'm curious, if he does somehow stick around an exhaust his eligibility at SIU, will he be the longest tenured basketball player ever? With his redshirt year and eligibility free pass this season, he'd have a chance to be part of the basketball program for 6 years.
