I'm very proud of this team and the way they defended but the rebounding was very poor (45-28 SIU) and we weren't great from distance (26.7%). Those numbers aren't a great recipe for winning games but we made the plays we needed to down the stretch to hold off a very spirited late charge from the Salukis. It really felt like they were going to steal this one. That said beating a talented team on the road without Fazekas is really encouraging and should give the team a lift going into another battle for first place. Should be a good one. I know I'll be watching.
Don't get too excited. SIU is not good and Hinson is an absolute joke.
