SIU - Kansas Game Thread

I'm still shocked about that non-shot clock call ... how could the refs have possibly missed that?? You hear the horn or see 0 and the ball is still in his hand ...

SIU has been shooting terribly and they're still winning ...

KANSAS .... you must HATE the MVC!!
 
Whether this game stays close is going to depend on the way the referees call the game. So far they've given KU 2 extra pts and an extra foul (terrible charge call).
 
We're used to seeing SIU's tactics, but how do you guys think the Jayhawk fans are taking the physical nature of this game?
 
Back to back turnovers by the Salukis may have just cost them the game. Kansas is about to be up 4 ... First time the whole game they seem rattled for some reason, I'm not sure why ...

C'mon SIU, do the Valley proud!!!
 
Roooooooooockkkkkk

Chaaaaaaaaalllkkkkk

Jaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Haaaaaaaawwwwwwkksssss

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
 
What a great game ... sad ending ...

SIU had it's chances ... two critical turnovers down the stretch plus Tatum's tip in that somehow, amazingly didn't go in.

SIU DID make the MVC proud ... we just show how good we are as a league more and more ... maybe someday the rest of the country will see it ...
 
Hmm, not impressed with Kansas. A couple easy charges could of been called for SIU and of course the huge shot clock violation that was missed. That could of been a possible 6-8 point swing for SIU. Meanwhile, has SIU been a 3 point shooting team all year? I don't remember them shooting this many 3's before there last game. 13 threes last game and 6 for 25 in tonights game. Meanwhile Kansas only attempted 6 threes and hammered it out for a 60% FG shooting on the game. Well got another close one for the A&M game, this could be 4 intense games tonight.

I agree...SIU certainly had their chances, and a few ticky fouls in a short stretch in the middle of the 2nd half were tough.
Too bad, but I really am happy for the SIU kids and their fans that they had this opportunity to show the Valley proud.
Since 1999 the Missouri Valley has had five teams make it to the Sweet Sixteen.
 
To futher add insult to the midmajors, here is the CBSSportsline summary of the game--
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/recap?gid=200703220287

Note that at the end of the 5th paragraph. It says--
Kansas also dodged its second straight tournament loss at the hands of the Missouri Valley Conference, which takes the "mid" out of mid-major with each passing year. Butler beat the Jayhawks last season

So the geniuses at CBSSportsline think the Butler is in the MVC, and it was Butler that knocked Kansas out of last year's NCAA!

The text has already been changed to
"Bradley beat the Jayhawks last season"
 
The erroneous copy was actually the original AP version of the story, not CBSSportsline. At least the corrected it quickly.

But in doing a news search, there are innumerable versions of the earlier version out there that still read "Butler beat the Jayhawks last season". See the end of the 3rd paragraph--
