I can't decide if ISU is that good, or is SIU worse than we thought. The Salukis definitely don't look good right now, missing wide open shots. 47-30 ISU.
I realize it's Christmas break, but the crowd in Terre Haute is pretty light.

Box: gosycamores.com/sidearmstats/mbball/mediaI listened to the SIU feed...their #1 guard is still shelved w/ a broken hand, but the SIU announcers said THIS ISU squad has better ball movement than any Lansing prior squad, including '10-11 w/ Odum. They also were complimenting the two 1st yr. bigs (6'7" Williams & 6'8" LaRavia). We'll see how good the Salukis are after Cook heals & gets back in shape. They do have a 6'6" frosh from WI that is a GOOD one (Domask).

In the eyes of SIU radio crew, ISU "collectively" has the best backcourt in the MVC, while UNI has the best "individual" backcourt play. Funny how they made this distinction, especially given the fact that SIU is the WEAKEST squad in the Valley right now.
Btw, does anyone else wonder if A.J. Green would've signed w/ UNI had his father NOT been hired as an Asst. Coach by Jacobsen?

36-32 UNI after a 3-pt "prayer" bankshot by IL St. @ 16 min left in 2nd half. Looks like the tide has turned. UNI is beatable for sure.

I said earlier this month that uni is the same team as last year, they didn't really improve that much from last year and i stand by that. They may have the highest floor based on consistency but their ceiling is not that high
