Southern Illinois Preview and Game Thread

Where's 01grad with his pregame show, setting the scene and talking about matchups?

Very disappointed. It's 57 degrees and sunny in Carbondale; maybe he's afraid of getting sunburn...

Everyone must be busy watching Seahawks v. Packers. What a game!

[01grad]

The pregame show was unfortunately preempted by the NFC Championship and a beer garden worthy day.
James is moving well, which is a good sign. Sloppy start again.

Yeah, James is looking good! SIU is not playing bad, either...currently shooting 60%. That's going to decrease substantially as the game goes on.

Green Bay Packers lose! Now I can focus on watching the Ramblers!

[GoRamblers]

Can't be too happy with the way we are playing at the moment. Hopefully things shift before the half in our favor and we come out strong in the 2nd.

Our guards have to be better at getting open against the high pressure defense. Teams are going to use that all year since we turn it over so much.

[JCT]

OK, I think we've established the inside game. Can we run some screens for some open outside shots? That should be one of our strengths against this team.

[GoRamblers]

Playing a bit better, but where's our D?

[01grad]

So far it seems like a contest of who can make the most shot clock buzzer beater shots.
