At least we aren't WSU. Their confidence has to be shot giving up a 21 point lead with about 12:00 to go and a 10 point lead with about 3:00 to go only to lose by 10 in OT (making that 3 straight OT losses). Maybe we can draw them on Thursday to give the team a confidence booster before Friday.

It seem to me that Wichita has been playing a lot better with Brauer are about to break through at the right time, I dont know that Id rather draw Evanville, Wich is due for a win.

But then again Evansville just beat Creighton and almost took out ISURed tonight.

Looks like both those teams are playing their best at the right time and us.....no so much.

Re: UNI @ Ugly Dawgs

Let's be honest...there was a string of games that Kerwin looked simply lost out on the court. I'm as happy as anyone with Kerwin's play tonight and I hope he can bring that every night. The guy can flat out shoot it...just needs the confidence!

I agree with that. But it's the same argument to be made for Reed, Viet, Dunham and whoever else. You need to be on the floor to build up that confidence.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Matt Shaw made 8-of-9 shots from the field and scored 23 points to lead Southern Illinois past Illinois State, 67-47, Wednesday night.

The Salukis (15-12, 10-6) made a season-high 12 3-pointers on the night, shooting 60 percent from outside the arc.

The Panthers (15-12, 7-9) went more than six minutes without scoring during a stretch in the second half when SIU increased its lead to 51-34.

With the win, Southern remains in sole possession of third place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, one game behind second-place Illinois State. The two teams meet in the regulur-season finale in Carbondale on March 1.

MORE TO COME...

Re: UNI @ Ugly Dawgs

Bad year for b-ball...oh well. Stars were definitely aligned wrong. Should have known when Reed broke his foot in Thailand, then we got hosed on the medal round, then came home to find that Culliver is a moron, then KA gets hurt pre-season and is lost for the year before it even starts, then Reed breaks his other foot. Combine all of that with mediocre teams / players always seeming to have career shooting nights against us = Bring on the Spring Game. As a Cubs fan, I am used to saying, "Wait til next year". I truly believe it for our Cat cagers.

Kerwin has had PLENTY of minutes this season to build his confidence.

I'm impressed he took the initiative to take the ball to the hoop a few times, but other than that, the way I see it, in a 20 point loss, someone's got to score the points.

3 BLOWOUT road losses is ridiculous. I'm pissed. We're better than this. It's embarrassing.

I skipped the last minutes of the game to stand outside for a half hour to watch the eclipse. Is it bad I found that more fun than watching that games?

It WAS sweet. The full eclipse was long after the game ended though.

Yep, I'm fully away. I watched almost the whole damn thing instead of the basketball game. That is how much fun I was having watching that game.
