SIU is top 10 in D1 for 3pt % and also top 10 in D1 for defending the 3pt shot. This stat was on TV last night about halfway through the second half. I was impressive with SIU’s defense. None of our shots looked easy.

I feel likes it’s been a long time since we had a good three point shooting team.

Nice final 10 minutes to turn a 10 pt deficit into a 10 pt victory. We’ve yet to play a solid 40 minutes but three times we’ve been able to execute down the stretch to pull of close wins. That wasn’t happening in the past.

Ok, I admit, playing at NSU next year might be a bad idea. ISU will probably look bad whether they play the game or not, but ISU just needs to move on. I think anything more said just opens the door to it being used against them. We all condemn racism. Pedon could have handled differently...

After seeing this event unfold on TV and reading articles and this thread here is what I think. 1. We’ll never know what exactly was said between the fan(s) and the the NSU player- Thomas 2. IMO the NSU coach had a right to be upset and protect his players. I am okay with him getting on the...

Not a good look from ISU tonight, on the basketball court. Went nearly 10 minutes in the second half without a FG. There were so many fouls called on both teams that there was no offensive rhythm or even a defensive rhythm for that matter. I believe both teams were in the double bonus with 9...

As a Redbird alum and Wisconsin fan, Jordan is a very nice addition. He is a streaky shooter. He either makes his 3s or hits the side of the backboard. He has good vision and is a good passer. He is also a solid defender. I am curious to see what he can do at this level. I think he was over his...

What a win!

I don’t post here often. So far I am pleased with the job Pedon (and staff) are doing. I see better basketball IQ, better defense, and better shot selection. The talent isn’t there yet and obviously that is not going to happen in year 1 with a new staff at a mid major, but so far so good. If...

This would be a really good hire.

Looks like a great hire. I’m surprised how quickly this moved. Maybe our AD is serious about getting our basketball program back on track. We’ve been down for way too long.

He’s clearly been a successful asst in the B10 and his PGs that he’s coach have been some of the best in country in assist to turnover ratio. Freshman Chucky Hepburn has 1 turnover in wins at Purdue, Mich St, and Indiana.

Go get Dean Oliver. As a Wisconsin fan I would not want him to leave but as an ISU fan here is why I think he’s a good option 1- point guard is the most important position on the court and Dean was an excellent PG at Iowa 2- he was an asst. at ISU when Muller had his best years. Look at the...

Sad day. I think many of us were excited when Dan was hired. He was given 10 years and couldn’t get it done. It’s the best decision for the ISU basketball program. I believe it was time for Dan to go, but with that said, wish him all the best on his next chapter.

I’m sorry. $1million seems like pocket change for a D1 athletic dept. His departure should be a no brainer. Only reason he stays is if he somehow wins 4 games in ST Louis. I have higher expectations for this program. Our AD is going to send the fan base a message at the end of the year if this...

Most people are rooting for the Birds, regardless of our feelings towards DM and most of us have really hoped for 10 years that DM would be successful.

Awful, terrible loss at last place, 4-win Evansville. Anyone still want Dan? Here's another take. If Dan had the same record over a 10-year span at another equivalent non-MVC, mid-major team, and we had an opening, would you want him? What a shit show. Let's keep him for another year and see how...

As I type this were down 27 to MSU. Maybe we’ll make a bigger comeback than we did against Bradley. I remember when Creighton was the king of this league under Dana Altman. Eventually they left for the Big East. I also remember when Wichita St was always on top under the biggest jerk in the...

Hell of a comeback win! Bradley sucks! I hope we can start to string some wins together. Other than Loyola the league is up for grabs. And Loyola has looks susceptible.
