Here's the Deal. You mean to tell me that we already swept the Trees before our friend Barry Hinson brings his solid rebounding Salukis to Our House? Tonight, UNI pays them a visit and that verdict will interest us. Gazing forward, we then want a sweep also on the cold and lonely road from the Braves and the BullDawgs before preventing them fire alarm, high karate, no watch Birds that are Red from sweeping us here. Such wins in a row would be great "meat and potatoes" for our soul and 'eggs in our beer'. Whoa Nellie!!! One game at a time 'Marshall Law' demands.
SIU lost Anthony Beane but as a team have been leading the Valley in offensive rebounding, blocked shots, and steals according to the Official MVC Basketball Site. Thik Bol and Sean O'Brien are 2nd and 3rd in the Valley in rebounding last time I checked while Mike Rodriguez leads SIU in scoring at just under 14 PPG. Last Season we defeated them 76-55 at home and 83-55 up yonder at SIU Arena. They are 11-9 and 4-3 as we await their game versus the famished Panthers tonight.
This Is 'The House Of Shock' I say and 'win we must' and I predict we will by 14. We want Shaq back like he played today. Under control, playing D without excessive fouling, and becoming the Leader that 3G is looking for. Look for some more 'double/doubles' which doubles our pleasure and our fun with or without doublemint gum. Look for our 4 guards to combine for 44 points. I really liked how our bigs' kicked it back to them swiftly today when covered up. Look for Willis to have a "finer than a frog-hair" game in this matchup. The two players I mention below were phenomenal players back when I was knee high to a grasshoppa.
