Saluki Radio flashback: Larry Bird visits SIU Arena on 2/15/1979:
Looking forward to this one. Jones and others locked down Neese after a fast start from what I remember in game one.
That being said, we lose that home game if the Trees had Cam Henry. He’s a nice player.
Can’t eff around here. Jones and Domask need to come out and get those 1,000 points ASAP.
We know how things go if those two aren’t on.
Not sure why in the world this is a noon game on a Saturday. Go Dawgs!

Terre Haute is in the earlier time zone.
SIU 1.5 point underdogs
Wondering how many Dawg Pounders agreed to the early-morning wakeup call for a trip to breathtaking Terre Haute.

Hopefully they could get 20 or so. This isn’t an ideal situation for college kids though.
A chance to get to .500 in the Valley today! I would feel a lot better about this season if we at least accomplish that.
I wonder how much the early start will affect us. Hopefully the team got some good sleep last night sleeping in a strange bed. I think the team has something has prove with a disappointing W-L record. I am a half-full type of guy, so I have high hopes going forward. This can be a good stepping stone if we can pull it out.

Win today and the home game Wednesday and we go into the final game of the season on a 4 game winning streak. We can ride some momentum and confidence going to the Arch. And who knows what will happen at the Arch?
Another good offensive start. That's almost 12 minutes of game time without a field goal going back to the Bradley game
Cam Henry is back unfortunately
3 pointers falling so far for SIU
Broadcast is giving Jones 1,000 points but think he's still at 999, unless ESPN.com was wrong on his total points coming in
