February 27, 20179 yr Gotta think Wichita State takes this the way they've been playing but who knows. If we can get by Loyola on Friday I think we at least have a punchers chance against the Redbirds in the semis.
February 27, 20179 yr We say the same thing every year and usually fail but I agree. ISU seems vulnerable and I'd love to end their NCAA dreams.

We always fail ha. I'm not predicting we make it to the finals but we've played ISU tough both times. We definitely can't beat Wichita though so nice to be on IlSU's side of the bracket.
February 27, 20179 yr Roll birds. Saturday game scares me no matter who we'd be playing, but id rather have SIU and Loyola on our side than UNI or Missouri st. Edited February 27, 20179 yr by kev211
February 27, 20179 yr Go Dawgs! Maybe our BBQ sauce salesman of a coach will say something stupid enough to get fired. That would be the only win I see coming from Arch Madness for Southern.
March 2, 20179 yr Author Starts tonight. Even with us being hot garbage for the last decade now this is still one of my favorite things to go to every year. If we can't win it, I'll cheer for the IlSU over WSU in a close game final to at least have a chance to get 2 teams in.

We don't deserve two teams and I hate IlSt. I'm right.

The conference was trash, Illinois State and Wichita State aren't trash. You can obviously hate ISU if you want but I always root for the conference and personally have no reason to hate ISU.
April 2, 20179 yr How does Barry Hinson's team look for 2017-18? What's the opinion of Hinson in Saluki-land? I love watching his postgames on youtube. He has a way with words.
April 4, 20179 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) He's despised, Greg. No other way to put it. Damn. I did not know that. I guess the extension he signed would put the Saluki administration in a bind if they wanted to try somebody new before his contract runs out. How's his recruiting for next season?

His recruiting has been terrible. The top guy of the class decommitted and went to prep school instead.

April 6, 20179 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 07:49 AM) Sucks but can't blame them at all. Any rumors on who would replace them? The mighty high powered Edwardsville???
April 6, 20179 yr Author QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) Any rumors on who would replace them? The mighty high powered Edwardsville??? Murray, Belmont and Valpo are names I've heard. Who knows.
April 7, 20179 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:57 AM) Murray would make the most sense to me. Murray, Belmont, and SLU would be top 3 IMO. Not sure anyone of them would do it though
April 7, 20179 yr No way in hell SLU would leave the A10 for the MVC. Edited April 7, 20179 yr by Sonik22
April 7, 20179 yr QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) No way in hell SLU would leave the A10 for the MVC. I doubt it either but it would be easier travel for their athletic programs to play in the MVC. They would also have the tournament at home every year. MVC pretty much runs out of St. Louis for the most part (they are meeting there to discuss where to move forward from here).
