1,000 mile road trip! The challenge is on!!69 and I both plan on attending
I'm only concerned about us winning the league. However, don't count out the Trees. They have a really soft schedule. It should be an interesting stretch run.
Get your tickets now for the Bradley game if you don't have them yet. Make the road trip if you aren't local. That one should be one hell of a college basketball atmosphere as long as we take care of business in the next three. We need a sellout for what should be a national TV game.
Don't forget we have a road game against Drake sandwiched in the middle of UIC and Valpo which is a likely, but understandable, loss. The Valpo game is the one that scares me bc Valpo isn't as bad as we thought and they have played well at home.
Chances for Thursday bye:
Bradley - 88%
SIU - 86%
Drake - 84%
Belmont - 69%
Indiana St. - 52%
Missouri St. - 11%
UNI - 7%
Murray St. - 4%
Hacksaw's projections say that if a team gets 14 wins, they have a 98 percent chance of a first-round bye. That's 4-2 the rest of the way for the Salukis.

The best chance to win the Valley is by winning 15 which means going 5-1 the rest of the way
anyone else notice we got bumped from bracketology's early field of 64 projection by Bradley? i say "booooo!" to that. 🤣
SIU-Bradley at 1:00 PM on ESPN2 2/19

If we win our home games we have an 84 percent chance at a bye... If we win our home games and beat 2 bottom dwellers on the road we will likely at least split a league title. LETS GO!
Love your thinking. Will not be an easy task as we all know, but most certainly very achievable. The MVC isn't exactly the Ohio Valley! LOL!
GO DAWGS!!!
I think we'll sell out Bradley regardless of how we fair at Drake, but if we win the next two I think the Bradley game is a guaranteed sell out. Let's win tomorrow and then take down Drake!
100% Agree! Greed and Capitalism I strongly dislike, but in the case of Saluki basketball, I want it all! LOL
GO DAWGS!!!
The 1:00 tip time kinda sucks but I will be there
Hoping the fact it’s on ESPN2 gets a bunch of students to the game. Last Sunday’s 1:00 tip was probably the worst showing of the year. Luckily it might have been the best showing from the general fans. I don’t blame the Dawg Pound though, they’ve done an amazing job this year.
Hope SIU goes all out trying to get this crowd as big as possible

Tim Leonard told me directly they want this as a sell out and will be promoting it.
Perfect, they will keep offering 2 dollar tickets, meanwhile I paid 500 for my season ticket. They are doing an awesome job of making me rethink my season tickets. I will just buy game by game since there are 0 perks of being a season ticket holder and it actually costs more than just buying every game individually.Hoping the fact it’s on ESPN2 gets a bunch of students to the game.
