Re: UMass & SIU Tonight...
This is only the second meeting between the Minutemen and Salukis on the hardwood. Ths Salukis won the first one in a tournament in Puerto Rico in the late '90s. If memory serves me it was a two point win. I'm looking forward to the game tonight.

I could not stay up for the entire game...cold medicine is kicking my butt...but I stayed with it through the half...skinny_uncle wrote:Dawgs win 80-73 after trailing by 11 aat the half.

I hoped that with an 11 point lead, the Minutemen could hang on...
Good win for SIU...and I hope a good learning tool for UMass...
Next up...Kansas...
