SIU was up 44-37 in the second half. They got outrebounded 48-19. Yeah you read that right.
Grab some rebounds and maybe they win.

Not a bad showing against what was (a few days ago) the #2 team in the country. If anyone thinks we're a no-brainer for tops in The Valley, think again. I think any one of the 3 could win, with Bradley possibly being right there as well. Also anticipate at least one surprise team besides those 4.

When we played down there I think we lost by 12. Kentucky shot almost 50 free throws to our 10. That's the game right there.

I assume the same for tonight. I give the dogs a chance but a top 5 team isn't going to lose at home to a MM. See us @UK or us @Louisville.

What about Loyola at 5 Florida last year?

Anomaly. I bet I can find more examples of MM losing at top 5 places than winning. LOCK. OF. THE. YEAR.

SIU lost by 12. UK shot 27 FT, SIU shot 12. Like with us a few years ago, there's your game.

Good showing for Barry's Boys.

Percentage wise, there are probably not a lot of P5 schools that win on the road against top 5 teams.
