The Dawgs clearly shit the bed after a BIG win. They can't go into games without a consistent level of effort. Bad, bad loss.
on the bright side, we once had a 3 point lead on the screaming eagles.
The schedule looks a bit different after a game like this: Tennessee State won't be easy, but still some bit chances to lessen the sting form this one with SLU, UNLV, and potentially Minnesota still left in the non-con.
Congrats to USI.
Another bright side...think how the OSU fans feel NOW!
I wonder if Cade had been playing and prepared for playing this year instead of redshirt if he could have helped, siu was outplayed in every aspect of the game, just feel like it's time to win now at all costs. I understand that there can be bad losses in a season, but USI killed us, just a thought, Hopefully no more bad losses, I just want to beat SLU, and I'll be happy, lol
Rupert only played 9 min and Damico 15? Banks,Wonders and Brown hesitate on too many wide open shots.
USI might contend for an Ohio Valley Title. This loss won’t look that bad in a month.

That's what people said about Little Rock last year and they finished 9-19 and 3-11 in the Sun Belt. I think Southern Indiana is decent but there's no excuse for losing to that team by 18 if you're actually serious about competing this year. I get bad games happen but bad games continue to happen.
If the Salukis are going to have a great season, they have to put this game behind them. What concerns me the most is that they looked sluggish from the beginning. If we are not making outside shots, the spread offense will not work. When our outside shots aren't dropping, the defense sags off and makes it harder to drive to the basket. I do agree with the earlier comments that our outside shooters hesitate to much when they have a good look. I realize it is a matter of confidence, but we can't return to eating the shot clock down to 5 seconds and expect to win. I believe the Dawgs can turn it around again as they are just days away from one of best wins in years.

I remember back in the day when Southern list in the MVC tourney championship to Creighton by 34 made the dance and went to the sweet 16 things happen let's not panic
Precisely. If someone on the board figures out how to make shots that aren’t going in the bucket, go in the bucket, please enlighten us all. Most seem to have forgotten we are minus two big men also.I remember back in the day when Southern list in the MVC tourney championship to Creighton by 34 made the dance and went to the sweet 16 things happen let's not panic

Help me out. Is Offensive rebounding, follow your shot etc. old school fundamental Basketball out in a Mullins game plan?
Dawgs look way to timid on the boards. Just saying
At least this can be a home revenge game next year like Little Rock was this year.
In all seriousness, Domask has to be hurt. He doesn’t look like the same Marcus at all to me.
While Domask is supposed to be co-leader so he is indeed heavily responsible, I'm kind of surprised that you seem to be singling out Domask when the other leader shot 4-14, scored less points and had 5 TO's. The entire team stunk it up, not just Domask.

Mullins' scheme does not allow for this. When using 4 guards and keeping them all out on the perimeter, it just doesn't provide many opportunities for offensive rebounding.
