I suspect we have a bit of a letdown after the UNI win and ISU will have revenge on their minds, so I expect a loss, but how big would it be to grab this dub?
Good gauge of where this team will end up. ISU and Evansville are 2 road games that are there for the taking , which would help keep us out of Thursday night. Young team coming off a big win and going on the road seems like a disaster, but defense travels and I trust Mullins to have the boys ready to play.
tough call. if there is a coach i trust to prevent a letdown it's this one. i would feel better if we had the 1st road win under our belt. we keep getting better and this one is there for the taking.

Agree. Paraphrasing BM, he said enjoy tonight, but tomorrow we get back to work focusing on ISU. Hope they get that first road win too, who knows? But they will be prepared.
March on triumphantly!
I think we win this one. I think the BM has this team in the right mind set. They know each game is a battle and are focused and improving every time out. If we don't shoot well then it will be tough. I see some comments about struggling to score more than 60 but that is not necessarily a struggle but by design. As long as we continue to play defense like we are, which is very impressive, and the other team only scores in the 50's then 60 is just fine. These guys are very disciplined and carry out the plan. I was impressed the other night with the ups of Brown. He can get off the floor much better than I thought he probably could.

I am not so confident.
I predict a loss, perhaps even a bad one.
Anyone know the status of Suggs? I know he's not a crowd fave, but the guy can take care of business on D on other teams' 4 guys.
We need him.

KenPom has Illinois State winning 63-62, Vegas has Illinois State favored by 1.5. SIU hasn't won at Redbird Arena since Bryan Mullins was a Sophomore (2006-07)

Can I say again how much fun this is ?
The Mizzou game was really the only clunker this year, I've enjoyed watching every game besides that one.
The Salukis started 18-3 in 2015-2016 and I honestly barely remember anything that actually happened that season or getting excited about games. This year I'm enjoying games win or lose.
are there any injury updates?
brown should get the start tomorrow!

these guy are ripe for the picking
