good to see the onion down there doing tv again. 

Yeah, he was gonna be the next Reis, if such a thing is even possible. 

Would be cool to see him take over when Mike calls it a career. 

Probably won’t happen. 

God forbid. Competent announcer but definitely not a Saluki fan.

Announcers aren’t really supposed to be a fan.  They kinda grow into that.

Yes, I have grown to be a big Connor Onion fan. I say grown, because I didn't like him when I first heard him. But he is very talented as a broadcaster. Reminds me a bit of Bob Costas.

Jones is definitely limping a bit on that ankle. Not sure why he's even playing. Let it heal up!

SIU has 2 non D-1 games coming up in their next 3.  Really hope he either sits or is on an extreme minutes limit.

Are they playing two non D-1 schools so they go into conference play with what should be two easy wins?

Whatever the reason, it’s really stupid.  

I assume it’s just to make some money for a couple home games. 

Would be nice to for SIU to play one of the big boys, even if it’s a 1 and done or a 2 for 1 like the old days.

Onion was doing some volleyball for the Big Ten Network.  Wonder if he's doing SIU games the rest of the way now that volleyball is over.  I think he does a good job but also think he might be destined for more national work as opposed to working full-time with SIU basketball and football.

Well he was a boy then.  And still looks like one. 😂 

 

He’s good though.

Think SIU had trouble scheduling this year, especially with Jarnigan getting fired.  Hate the non D-1 games in the middle of the season, especially when you're only playing one Freshman and likely redshirting Wonders and Ebube because that would have been a great game(s) to get them some run.

He does a lot of sports for the big ten network, not just volleyball. Pretty sure he is working his way into a full time gig with the big ten.

Much better offense 2nd half. Balanced scoring.

LJ definitely didn't have that quick 1st step. Really good game by Banks. He's quick and and a good ballhandler - good to see some nice offense from him tonight. When Verp is hitting, we are so much better. 17 pts. 6rbs, 5-6 from 3

Coupet's offense really improving and nice game by KF - 12 pts, 5rbs,

Great TEAM win. Banks and Kyle really stepped up. Good to see Harvey again. Big threes. Love it.

I think you will find that universally people that are the home announcer for a school are definitely fans. They shouldn't be ridiculous homers, but a little love is par for the course. I've heard Onion games where he spent most of the time praising the other team - maddening. Really don't care for his robotic style much. I've heard him do one Saluki football game where I thought he was really good, showing that human side. He's young and he'll get better.

Listen to an Illinois game, a SEMO game, Mike Reis. Good announcers and definitely fans. I'm really liking Rodney Watson as our analyst - really good and obviously likes the Dawgs.

Last year against Quincy they put up 56 in the first half.

First D1 one I found was January 30, 2019 at home against Indiana State where they hit 50 in the 2nd half.

Oh yeah I miscounted that one.  That game was insane.

 I wouldn't count a non-D1 game.  Also, how'd that InSU game come up as quarters? 😆
