And while JD doesn't have a ton of fans on this board, he DOES play a vital role on this team. And while Ebube is young and inexperienced, he could also play a vital role on this team. My point is, we should be even stronger and more legit once the conference season rolls around.

Lance is humble and all class. These players put team 1st. Great culture Mullins is building with really good kids. Setting team GPA records every semester too. Easy team to root for, SIU baby!!!!Lance: not surprised by the win, felt like everyone worked really hard last few months, mentions all the guys who came in and did little things that don't show up on the stat sheet
says the Alabama game was good prep (similar size and D)
Defense is obviously the calling card for this team. When you play a good power 5 team on the road, shoot poorly and find a way to win it's pretty special. On nights we shoot well we should dominate, on nights we don't, we can find a way to win! This team has big time toughness and heart. Really pumped for the season!

When are we going to get the basketball team to sing the fight song after a win, like the football team does??? 😀
This is one of those games where you look at the box score and scratch your head, wondering how they managed to win. (There have been too few of this for a long time now.) To me it's a sign of a gutsy team, and I love it.
OK, it also helped that they were horrendous from the line. But we were not: 6-7. It's the little things that make a difference, especially when you play tough. I loved this win.

Congratulations to the SIU men's basketball team. They got a signature win tonight that really looks good on a resume. Love it! GO DAWGS! Stay tough, no mental lapses, and this will pan out to be a FANTASTIC season.
Oklahoma State HC Mike Boynton and the Oklahoma State players:
Hopefully someone posts the whole game on YouTube
