Outside of the Lance Jones run in Stillwater, it’s been 1.5 halves of offensive struggle. Eventually it has to change or SIU will be around .500 again
Missouri put up 91 against these guys. I know they also gave up that many, and that our defense has been good, but I expected us to put up more than 30 in the first half.
They appeared to be more active and play with more energy. That little guard Campion is the quickest guy on the floor.
Did anyone catch Mullins having a few words with the ref as the team left court at half-time? Mullins did not look happy, and I don't think it had anything to do with the fist bump (yeah, not a good look for the ref!)
Shrieking Vultures 18 rb
Salukis 13 rb - only 2 O. boards
At Pinch, eh?Domask was out drinking at the Pinch last night - can't hit

Seems like after we shoot and miss, everyone is standing around, not crashing the boards. Sluggish.
No reason Southern can’t find some more points in the paint against these guys, including via offensive rebounds. I’d like to see Rupert’s best half as a Saluki here.
Keep composed, limit turnovers and win your share of 50-50 plays and I like Southern’s chances.
Did anybody think this was going to be a runaway game? You can't take anybody lightly (not that I think we did) but after the OSU win I think the team wasn't quite ready to see this intensity. USI not going to go gently into the night.
A lot of wide open misses…most of them short. I know it was a quick turnaround, but sure looks like tired legs right now. It would be super disappointing to have a letdown today after such a hard fought win on Thursday.

Didn’t think it would be easy but this is a loss that would wipe out the Oklahoma State win. Can’t lose to USI if you want to be taken seriously.
Pound the damn ball inside. Full court press. Mix it up. This is a bad trap game. You CANNOT lose this game.
Am I the only one that would really like something to fall on the announcer ?

I was concerned that we would come out flat, and they would come out playing for a Championship. That was the first half.
If we don't find some urgency and intensity, I agree this loss would negate that nice win at OSU.
