SIU - Kansas Game Thread

I thought it was funny that even Bilas pointed out late in the game that "alot of the quirky calls are going against SIU".

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.

Neither am I, which is why I had them only going to the Elite Eight before losing to UCLA. But I was rooting for SIU, as that would have not hurt me that bad in the bracket, and of course hoping for an Elite Eight appearance by the Valley. That didn't happen, but a very gallant effort by SIU. Great job guys!

However, Ohio St losing will hurt me a lot more, if that score holds up!

SIU proved that the valley is a good basketball conference and on a neutral floor can compete against the so called major schools; 2 plays hurt SIU towarsd the end when Mullens made the steal and missed the layup and Tatum missed the easy followup and Falkers bad pass as this game could have been won by SIU; credit Southern as they frustrated Kansas and made them play their style of game.

I wonder if the best set of guards in the nation are feeling a little sore this morning. That game was a war from the start. You could tell the SIU boys had a chip on their shoulder. I thought Mullins, Young & Tatum looked pretty good out there. You know, they weren't blue chip recruits, but I'm sure the KU guards knew they were there.

I only had the chance to see a few minutes of the first half because of the AM game shown here but SIU loses by 4 and the horrible no call on the late shot and the missed dunk by Tatum.. 4 point swing and SIU wins.
