UNI @ Ugly Dawgs

[unigriff]

Last two meeting at SIU have been thrillers.
Last year ended 56-54. Brown hit the front rim of a 3pter that could have won the game. Stout had a tip and a put back to tie. The 2nd put back was .01 of a second too late.

Two years ago in Mac's final season...well...we lost 46-45. Here is the video of the last 14 seconds on Youtube.

those were two years with great SIU teams and they HAD Jamaal Tatum. Anything is possible this year.

Let the banter begin!

I hope we show some improvement.

I hope to enjoy one of the final Coleman vs Falker battles...with EC slamming home the game winner as time expires, and an "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" that shakes the rafters so badly SIU arena is later condemned.

Re: UNI @ Ugly Dawgs

as awesome as that would be, i dont remember the last time coleman was the game-winner shooter. Unless you want to contribute is 9 FTs at Iowa

My bad...it is hard to dunk while sitting the final minutes.
I hope to see the REAL EC in Carbondale...double/double machine...screaming & scowling...if a final death match with Falker doesn't interest him, what will?

Biggest game of the season for the purple and gold. Win, and I love our chances to avoid playing Thursday in St Louis. Lose, and we need to start hoping for a miracle.

The team has to come focused and ready to playa grinder. SIU will be playing on emotion as Coach Lowery had a family member pass away this weekend (father-in-law?). Cannot allow SIU to get out to a big start.

Officiating will NOT be on our side so our guys have to be prepared to just fight through everything. Should be the type of game Coleman and O'Rear ought to be able to bang away, I look for good things out of Lucas as he returns 'home'. Hope that Jordan's back allows him to get in as well, Falker looked lost at times against his size up here. Guards have to play tough, hope Reed can get in to the game early and continue looking to make things happen. Viet needs to be hitting from outside as well.

I am confident that if we come to play we can shock the Salukis and the Valley. Course, I'm a homer.

This'll be like when we played at Dunkerton in high school. Those darn Red Raiders could get away with murder in their gym.

Where'd you go to school? I had the same problem at Dunkerton.
