MVC Games Week 4

[Salukimadness86]

Salukis defeat Southern Miss 66-41. Nice team effort. 5-3 On the season, and making positive strides, and improving each game.

Was their best game of the season, even better than the Colorado game. Domask & Jones have battling injuries and weren't 100%. Both chipped in but SIU got good performances from Anthony D'Avanzo and Ben Coupet. And Troy D'Amico has been an impressive Freshman even though the stats won't say that.

Absolutely agree. Troy seems to be getting better each game, as is this team as a whole. Need those seniors to lead next Saturday vs Tulsa. Medium steps...

Not much to celebrate last night as 2 of the "top 4" teams lost tough road games last night. Loyola struggled some for a home game. SIU got a real nice road win last night as those are always hard to come by in the Valley.

It just shows you that if you don't bring it every night, you are in for a dog fight in the MVC.

Givance brought the Aces back from a 17 point deficit, scored 31 points and, almost beat the Salukies by himself. SIU better hope that nothing happens to Domask or they will be fighting the Aces for last place, which they might be anyway. They could probably say the same thing about Givance who is a first team All Conference player.

I don't know which is worse. The fact that you think Givance is a first team all conference player, or that you think that Evansville is remotely close to SIU and both being close to the bottom. SIU is down most likely 2 starters with Brown and Jones, the latter being our leading scorer this year. Givance had a career night (which might've been limited better by SIU had Jones played and guarded him), Evansville played as well as they could (which still isn't that good), and was at home...And yet they still lost to SIU.

I am very disappointed in this year's Aces and Licklitter but to say Evansville played as well as they could indicates you missed the entire first half and about 5 minutes into the 2nd. In the first half Evansville played as bad as they could. One of the worst 20 minutes of the season.

If the Aces had played the first half, as well as they played the second half, the game would not have even been close.

The Aces played worse in the first half, than the Salukies did in the second half. Any idiot could see that, but maybe not.

SIU was down Lance Jones, their leading scorer. Winning in the Valley is tough, think SIU would gladly take that win no matter how they got it.

Bad news for Drake....Roman Penn out for 3-6 weeks with broken foot....3rd foot injury of his college career. He could be done

Bulldogs beat St Thomas today in a game that was much closer than it should have been. St Thomas was incredible from 3 with 14-30 while Drake was 6-24 from 3. The great equalizer.

IF Aunt Sarah had testicles she would have been Uncle Frank, but she didn’t and neither did the Aces. Your team lost, end of story.

UNI is a Thursday night team. No heart.

We missed about 12,000 wide open looks today. We're not mentally tough enough to beat good teams.

You guys seem awfully butt hurt about beating the worst team in the Valley by two points.
