These kids are on a roll, they know that this win gives Marshall the opportunity to pass Miller at home. They don't need any motivation normally but I think that adds to their fire and they take care of business by a lot and cover. 20+ margin

[Play Angry]

Another butt-whooping.


Shockers 81
Salukis 54

Almost completely off topic, but UNI extended their winning streak at home over SIU to 13 straight. That's hard to believe. No, that's borderline impossible to believe.

SIU was 17-0 the one year Painter was coach (2003-04). There was much talk of the Salukis having the first undefeated conference season in some time. They went to UNI and got smacked by 16.

I hope I'm wrong!

I think you are.:)

The guys have increased their defensive game by leaps and bounds over the last 4 and 5 games. I believe the "O" will start catching up over the next couple of weeks. My crystal balls tell me double digit margins from here on out. I hope I'm right.

What else does your crystal balls predickt?

No score prediction but I do expect SIU to put up more resistance than they did in Carbondale. While that might effect the scoring margin I don't think it will effect the ultimate outcome.

What I do hope to see is a complete game with the Shock's defensive intensity continuing to make things very, very difficult on opponents, a strong rebounding game and a smooth functioning team-oriented offense and a solid shooting performance. If that happens I doubt that SIU can play well enough to overcome that. If SIU plays like they did at UNI Sunday I don't see them as having any chance.

That said it's just hard to totally forget that 53-56 loss to a much worse Saluki team in 2011. However, hard to see Fred, Ron and Evan letting that kind of complacency set in while they are leading the charge.

TV again.

Just postpone the Metamucil an hour later, down a can of Monster, and deal with it.

Mr. VanVleet will no doubt deliver his response at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner.

Smooth move by Mr. SalukiIllini. :bball_spin:

[60Shock]

All one can do is to pity those smooth moving, smooth talking, snake tongued devils like our friend, Mr. SalukiIllini, who has no idea of the total ignorance of his blasphemy which clearly identifies him as the total fool he is.

[ShockerFever]

SalukiIllini is a douche. He has a long history of being a little peckerhead over there.
