Redbirds v Southern Illinois 2/14 3:00 PM ESPN3

[ISU86]

game 2 of 2

Be nice to get a sweep, regardless of the resulting fallout regarding the Dan Muller retention discussion

 

[Redbird82]

Wow 6-8 from 3 for SIU. Rather tough to beat that.

 

[Redbird222]

Not a great start. SIU on ball defense is much better today and they have made some long 3s.

 

[Redbird222]

Dusan looks like he played 40 minutes yesterday

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

And we looked pretty good yesterday..........but today is a different day.

 

[Redbird222]

Ball is not moving today at all

 

[Bird Friend]

This game is not like the other one.

 

[Redbird222]

9 turnovers which is more than we had the entire game yesterday

 

[Redbird222]

SIU offense slowed down after their barage of 3s.

We will need a great offensive half to get back in it.

 

[Redbird82]

Too many quick shots, don’t have any he patience penetrating 3 or 4 times if needed like they did yesterday. Hate the inexperience excuse but that’s part of it. After SIU hot start we panicked. Have to know they wouldn’t keep it up after the hot start still only had 34, we just needed to stay patient

 

[ISU86]

this is a "hide the kids eyes" kind of game

 

[ILLST25]

Turnovers

 

[Redbird82]

15 turnovers and 20% from 3. Guess back to normal

 

[AllFacts]

Turnovers

Definitely the major stat category that's different and not in our favor today. 7 total yesterday, 15 today and counting ....

 

[Bird Friend]

There’s the Birds we all know and love. Bad passes, bad ball handling, bad choices. Reeves was 1-on-1 at bucket against smaller defender, yet chose to fire it outside . . .

 

[ILLST25]

I love me some Emon Washington.

 

[Bird Friend]

I love me some Emon Washington.

He seems to be the only one who came to play today.

 

[ILLST25]

He seems to be the only one who came to play today.

He can do a little bit of everything and seems to play hard all the time.

 

[Redbird60451]

Guess they changed the background between yesterday and today.

Getting punked today! Fleming needs to at least look at the basket when he drives in the paint. Otherwise, the defenders are only looking for him to pass. Dushan needs to slow down on offense and finish his shot. Not ready to play overseas yet. Offense never got in rhythm today, because of SIU bumping defense.
