The media guide doesn't keep track of the most or fewest total points scored by both teams combined in a half, but the 38 combined points in tonight's second half might just be the worst in the SIU modern era.
SIU's 3-18 effort in the second half, good for 16.7 percent, marks the second-worst shooting half in team history, ahead of only the 15.6 percent first-half effort against Creighton in the MVC tourney final on Mar. 10, 2003.
@insaluki in the heyday of Weber Painter and Lowery we would consider this a masterpiece
This is a better 3pt shooting team than what we have seen in the last three games. These players have history. You can look back at their stats and see they can shoot. Eventually things have to start averaging out and these shots will start falling. I just hope it happens starting with UNLV.
UNLV can really defend and has athletes. Gulp.
We've played 4 games and I somehow feel like I know less about the team than I did before the season
I’m officially a bit concerned about Rupert’s lack of production. I think he has some ability but the early results are rather underwhelming. Not that he’s getting a ton of time.
I was at that game. Proud freshman playing in the SIU Pep Band.TSU's just scratched out their 14th point of the half, which barely avoids the fewest ever second-half points against the Dawgs.
The second-half low point record belongs to Northern Iowa, who scored just 13 points in the second half vs. SIU on Dec. 4, 1965.
My guess is that UNLV will be a 3.5pt favorite. UNLV is similar to USI except considerably better. If SIU is anything less than a 7pt dog (pun intended), we will have another "easy money" bet (on UNLV).

KenPom actually has SIU favored over UNLV right now by 1 point. It's possible they put an even line for the game.
Domask played 38 minutes tonight. What I didn't notice though was Xavier Johnson played 39 minutes.

SIU is now 9th in the country in 3 point attempts/field goal attempts (50.9%) but just 237th in the country in 3 point % (29.5%).
Another eye-gouging stat here:
SIU's last basket of the game was at the 10:53 mark to go up by 13, so for the final 10+ minutes of the game, SIU shot 0-8 with 11 turnovers... and the lead was still at 13 points when this thing ended, thanks to SIU going 11 of 12 from the FT line.
@dawgbytes Thanks for making me feel irrelevant. It's the nicest thing someone has done for me today. 😁

Wow... that's surefire rec ball numbers there. A whole lot of threes taken, and a whole lot of bricks to go with it.
