  1. For a high major team (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), your board looks like dawgsh!t. Get a life, get a team, get a real board. www.salukitalk.net PS-Good luck in the NIT this year.
  2. NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT NIT
  3. >we dont have a chance. falker, tatum and shaw are huge >misses that should have been billikens and are better than >any one on our roster. Should have been Billikens. Hmmmm. Why? So they could have gone to tne NIT last year, instead of NCAA last 5 years? I am baffled. PS- your board even looks like crap. See salukitalk.net
  4. This board is great for comic relief.
  5. A rhetorical question: why in the hell would Jamaal Tatum, or any other Saluki, not want to play on a team that has been to the NCAAs five consecutive years (one of fifteen teams in DI), as opposed to a team that has been ZERO times to the NCAA in that timeframe? Your collective ignorance is exceeded only by your collective egos. Damn.
  6. Great conference that you are in, you should all be proud.
  7. Our COLLEGE players all have HIGH SCHOOL degrees. GW should be out of the tourney. I am sure that the NCAA will step in. hahahaha.

  9. I think SIU figured out last game who their go-to guy is, he scored 19 points in 3 1/2 minutes, and ended up with 37 in the game. If that ain't a go-to guy, I don't know what is.
  10. Hello sports fans. Re- Monmouth, you will be interested to know that they were up by as many as 14 points against South Carolina yesterday, ended up losing by 5, I believe. As far as Alaska Anchorage, they lost today, by one point to USC, as in the Trojans from the Pac-10, which I believe is considered to be a high major conference. (since we seem to like to debate as to who is a "high major") Matt Shaw was injured in the Monmouth game, had limited minutes. One of our starting guards, Tony Young, broke his foot this summer, still is not 100%. SIU has no seniors (scholarship), only two juniors. You will also be interested to know that Jamaal Tatum scored 37 points for SIU today, and Bryan Mullins, in his first college start had 12 pts., 4 assists, and two steals, in defeating Eastern Washington in Alaska. With all of the new players, and roles, SIU is still "finding itself" this year, had a very good opening game, beating Louisana-Lafayette by 18. Young teams can look great one night, awful the next. Will have played 5 straight away games before they return to C'dale. Do not bet the ranch on SLU.
  11. See discussion on Vallytalk.net http://www.pjstar.com/stories/111805/BRA_B85LU2FQ.077.shtml Seems that all is not in order.
  12. Slaten is making friends and influencing people at SIU board too: http://www.salukitalk.net/st/viewtopic.php...1e54a8359#50700
  13. He is a headcase, was not recruited out of high school as a result. My son was in same high school class with him. His father was a member of "The Amazing Appleknockers" team from Cobden,IL., who took 2nd place in the state in 1964, before they had the class system, Cobden's enrollment was 150 at that time. His dad is about his only claim to fame.
  14. Thanks for the entertainment, you guys are really funny.
  15. Salukis break out of mid-major label Drew Stevens Daily Egyptian OKLAHOMA CITY - LaMar Owen sat in his locker with his head down and his hands covering his face as he mulled over an 85-77 loss to second-seeded Oklahoma State. Most of his teammates had their eyes fixated on the ground and their bodies, tired from the helter-skelter 40 minutes before and drained from the loss, drooped into their lockers. As the SIU locker room sat hushed, legendary Oklahoma State head coach Eddie Sutton took a moment at the post-game press conference to reflect on how tough the Salukis played before even commenting on his own team. Had their play this weekend not backed it up, people still would be forced to believe the Salukis shed the mid-major label since the hall-of-fame-bound coach said it himself. In its fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, SIU solidified its status as one of the rising programs in the Midwest, not just another mid-major making a brief appearance at the March ball. Advancing to the second round for the first time in three years, defeating Saint Mary's 65-56 and after going toe to toe with the Big 12 Tournament champs Sunday, that label was all but ripped to shreds, by Salukis and Cowboys alike. "We're a high-major," said Darren Brooks, who scored 17 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists in his final game as a Saluki. "We've proven that the last couple of years, and it's sad to still hear people call us a mid-major." Added Cowboy senior forward Ivan McFarlin, who scored a career-high 31 points: "You have to give them credit. They gave us a run. They had the lead at the half, and we had to fight to get back and win this game. To me, they're not a mid-major team. To me, they're just like a top 25 team." In the first half, SIU (27-8) seemed to have an answer for every Oklahoma State run and led 46-39 at halftime in front of a crowd that, save for a few hundred Saluki fans, was mostly made up of Cowboy fans. A second-half team much of the season, Oklahoma State (26-6) opened the final 20 minutes with a 12-0 run to take a 51-46 lead, knocking the Salukis back on their heals. Soon, though, SIU charged back and eventually retook the lead, 52-51. But they never reclaimed the momentum. Brooks scored just four points in the second half, missing a few point-blank shots he usually converts and was also pressured heavily by the taller Daniel Bobik. His 17 points, and furthermore, his toughness and defense left an impression with his opponents. One by one, Sutton sifted through the Salukis following the game, shaking each player's hand and congratulating him for the scare they gave. Then came Brooks, and Sutton stopped and spoke with him for about 30 seconds. "I told him after the game he was good enough to play in the NBA," Sutton said. "I admire how hard he plays. He hustles and is a great rebounder for a guard. I wish I would have recruited him." As Brooks' career as a Saluki is now history, so too are those of Stetson Hairston, Josh Warren and Owen. "We have to thank our seniors," said SIU head coach Chris Lowery. "We have tremendous men in this program who started this thing and built this program to what it is now." Cowboy guard John Lucas, an energetic player who was left tugging on his shorts the final minutes of the game, was particularly impressed with the Salukis' pressure defense. Though just speculation, he said SIU would rank among one of the better teams in the highly talented Big 12 conference. "At first, I was like, 'Man, this is nothing,'" said Lucas, who committed two turnovers as a result of the Salukis' defense. "But constantly them coming at you, it wears you down, and I see why everybody says it's tough. "I think they would fit in high in the Big 12 because of the way they play."
