Stop Beane and we'll be OK.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

The Salukis are a tough out regardless of location. They average 74 ppg with 35 rebounds per game. We need 1-2-2 press with man to man/1-3-1/2-3 zone. We need quick passing/solid screening at the O end. We can't afford to leave anything in the hopper. There is no tomorrow. I hope the guys/coaches/managers/band/Dance team/ Cheer leaders/medical staff/ fans/ Gary/ Kevin/ President Ruud are up for it.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

BTW, I see a small sliver of hope for 20-13 being the very last NIT at large bid. This isn't due to beating the Heels, Clones, and Shockers. It's due to the A10, MWC, and PAC 12 leagues being down this season. I see only 3 dance and 2 NIT for the A10 and 1 Dance 1 NIT for the MWC. PAC 12 is better. Perhaps, 4 Dance and 2 NIT. Of course, this changes with the top dogs in the above leagues losing in their conference tourneys. Count on the number of 21-13 for the NIT. This can equal a 5-8 seed.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

Beane got a concussion last night and he'll have to go through protocol in order to play Friday. Did not pass first test today, must pass first round by Tuesday to have a shot to play.

Great for us, awful for him. I hope he gets to play, he's had too good a career to miss this.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

Last time against the Salukis, Bennett was a wrecking ball, scoring 22 points and single-handedly fouling out their two main big guys. I would assume that will be part of the game plan again, but we haven't seem him as involved in the last few games.

Looking to read more about BC's post and saw this. Sounds like Beane might have passed first concussion test after all? It would be a shame if he couldn't play - the article says he hasn't missed a game in his entire SIU career.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

I remember the last time we played SIU in the MVC tournament we turned in a first-half so abysmally bad that I had to turn it off in disgust at halftime.

I'm hoping for better results this time, and I also hope Beane gets to play.

1-4 all-time against SIU in St. Louis. Only win was Coleman's senior year sending Falker out with an L.

My first Arch Madness. Didn't have my voice for the rest of the tourney.

Re: Up Next: Southern Illinois

According to an article in today's WCF Courier, during Monday's MVC coaches conference call, Hinson said he does not think Beane will be cleared to practice until Wednesday at the earliest. He was quoted as saying "but we anticipate he is going to play." Jake also said in the article "we"ll prepare for him to be in their lineup."
