Obviously, you'll be cheering for the Salukis as conference mates, but given that UNI is the only team to play both teams, what do you guys think about the upcoming game on Saturday?
I'll hang up and listen.

Re: Nevada at SIU
i havnt seen Nevada play much since we played them. I was impressed by McGee ( i think that was his name) your shotblocker.
I'd say SIU by 7... 56-49... -
Re: Nevada at SIU
Remember that Nevada brings its conference refs to the house. SIU might not get away with the typical mugging that the MVC seems to allow. I still think SIU will win as they dominate at home, but it could turn ugly if the refs get involved early.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

Re: Nevada at SIU
They lost to Indiana and Butler at home this year but their home court record since 2001 is currently 92-5....I'd call that dominant home court against everyone.Comment

Re: Nevada at SIU
SIU is a different team at home. It will all depend on how mentally tough the Wolfpack players are. They will get slapped, grapped, pushed, bumped, etc all game long. If they can deal with that and the rowdy crowdy, they will be ok. But, few have.Comment

Re: Nevada at SIU
Exactly. They do dominate at home. That has got to be one of the best home court records in the country.Originally posted by MarshallTucker View PostIf computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game.

Re: Nevada at SIU
No kidding SIU owns their court...wish we were the same way... I think Duke's home non-conference record is pretty high as well, but when was the last time Duke played someone good from outside the ACC at "home"? Usually its played in Charlotte or some other neutral place so more fans can attend.Last edited by UnderParPanther; 02-22-2008, 11:28 AM.Comment

Re: Nevada at SIU
Yep. It may be too late for an at-large but with the way they're playing and the ton of fans they'll have in St Louis, they'd be my pick for winning the tourney title.Originally posted by Matt Trump View PostComment

Re: Nevada at SIU

Re: Nevada at SIU
I don't know, I think SIU could pose to be pretty interesting come Selection Sunday. They are currently 49 in RPI, the second best in the Valley, and according to Kenpom's site, have a SOS ranking of 10. If they win out their regular season games (difficult games against Bradley and Illinois St.) their RPI could grow and an impressive weekend in St. Louis I think, could get them in.
I think this weekend helped the Valley make a case for at least a few teams. I think we could be looking at Drake and SIU. I really do.Comment

SIU is on a roll right now. The committee tend to give favor to team that are hot at the end of the season.Comment
