    Yeah, but hitting threes during warm up doesn't count.

      One interesting fact is that no MVC team has scored more than 63 points against SIU. This is dumbfounding as SIU is absolutely atrocious. 5 of their 6 D1 wins come against teams with RPI's in the 300s and and having an overall record of 13 and 76.

      We should bomb these guys back to the stone age tonight, but a combination of emptying the bench and GM being too classy of a coach to run up the score on BH will result in ONLY a 27 point margin of victory.

        Shocks need to focus and take care of business. I'm sure coach remembers Carlton Fay and won't allow anything similar to happen tonight. Win by 25.

          Part of it is the pace of play. SIU plays very slowly. We tend to play slowly too. If we play like we do normally, we also might not score 63. We rank in the 300's for possessions per game. I'm not the head coach of an elite basketball program, so I dunno what HCGM is thinking, but I guess he might try to speed them up to get them off balance. If that happens, we could score more.

              After tonight's game, both WSU and UNI will have played SIU, Bradley, Drake and Loyola.

              The preseason bottom 4 in the Valley? SIU, Bradley, Drake and Loyola

              Loyola has surprised this season, but the league sure went really hard in an effort to backload the conference race. UNI and WSU face off in the last game of the season, and Evansville faces both UNI and WSU in the 16th and 17th league games.

              This may work out in favor of the league...as WSU and UNI may have a better chance of racking up early wins and both being ranked. But I wish less effort was made to load interest into the last 10 days of the race and more effort was made to make things as even as possible across the entire league.

                Hopefully we will be playing our best ball mid to late February because the newcomers have settled in and have a clue how to fit into the Marshall Plan.

                    I haven't checked the schedule...but do we finish the season once again at Creighton on their Senior night? Thought I read a recent tweet from Gibbs saying so.

                      Sorry if you or your brother is the Dj for pregame warmups- but this is awful. Nobody is getting hyped up for 90s R&B hits or techno instrumentals, especially not the players. Good Lord.

                            There was a very interesting article on ESPN about that today. Showing that this year may have the fewest average possessions of any season ever. And it shows that the teams that play slow often have success against the teams that play fast.
                            You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....

                            .....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

                              90s r&b is awesome, some of it gets me hyped, but I just love the genre. Different people can get hyped up by different types of music, all depends on preference. Just saying lol

                                SIU only had 8 guys out for early warmup. Is that all they have available?
