Wish we didn't have a quick turnaround before another huge game on Tuesday night, but whatever.
This team deserves a huge effing crowd.
i am in 12 car traffic jam in the mo state parking lot.
charged up!
what a great gd feeling!
get your tickets now for tuesday. should be a great atmosphere for a team that we should have left in the ovc.
fill the dome!!!!
Craving a McBride Special!
At the very least, SIU has ALREADY proven that they have the ability to win the Conference tournament. On a neutral site, given the team is healthy, SIU can beat anyone in this conference. And while they still rely heavily on Domask and Jones, others HAVE been stepping up and the depth should help when playing 3 games in a tourny.
Our best game of the year! (minus the last 1:30 LOL)
Great D and even though we couldn't hit a three first half, our offense was better - we tried to get it inside, etc. Still think we shot too many threes.
XJ played great, Lance finally hit a couple of big threes, we played great D against a big, athletic team. Balanced scoring too:
M. DOMASK 10
X. JOHNSON 10
J. NEWTON 10
L. JONES 11
J. MUILA 8
D. BANKS 7
T. D'AMICO 5
JD is adding some serious value - 8 pts, 7 rbs
Next victim: Murray State!
Does XJ potentially have one more year after this?
Some other thoughts........... Winning is not only fun, but it will DEFINITELY help with recruiting. Not only with long term solutions/replacements but for portal transfers. Let's keep this train rolling !
Oklahoma State finally(!) beats a ranked team this season, as they were 0-5 before today's nailbiting win over Iowa State. The Cowboys could have another half-dozen shots at beating ranked teams this season, and the more they get, the better our primo non-con win looks.
what have i been saying all year? be perfect. that is right, called this one, siu wins
im joking because ive never said that but would be funny if i did
