WSU vs. Southern Illinois Game Thread

[Ricardo del Rio]

Is that 2pt M/A, 3pt and FT?

Kelly has looked much more comfortable driving the ball. That opens up a lot for us if he can do it consistently.

Sí, Señor.

First set, FG made/FG attempts
Second set, 3pt Made/3pt Attempts
Third set, FT made/FT Attempts

I agree with you. Kelly looks more comfortable with each game.

I couldn't believe how much better SIU was last night than 3 weeks ago. So much better. Competed the entire game and was very much prepared for a lot of what WSU does.

Result = the same. Our team continues to get better and better.

SIU will be pretty damn good next year.

Without Beane?

Truth.

Hope this post doesn't prove to be a jinx but don't look now but Evan is 8-17 (47%) on 3 pointers in the last 4 games. Not sure he can sustain that but I hope he has a strong finish to close out his winning career.

I was actually just wondering that. I noticed he has definitely been shooting it better than ever before recently. A player like Evan Wessel who can contribute to the scoring makes us even better suited for March.

Goodness gracious, where is this team's ceiling? Seems to keep getting higher and higher.

Well Doc, we're anxiously waiting... :)

I agree. I for one hope we don't find out what the ceiling for this team is. I would love to finish the season still wondering about that.

Before I forget I do want to give a shout out to the shout out guy from last night's game. The guy who yelled "Give Him The Ball" when Ron was shooting free throws late in the game. That was LOL moment for me.

Barry definitely is a very classy guy and I wish him success in bringing Southern Illinois BB back.

The way the first few minutes went I thought we might be for a barnburner game. Then the guys simply said...
