SIUSalukis.com: Southern Illinois (3-2) at Charlotte (5-2)
Randal Falker, the preseason Valley POY, is averaging 16 ppg and 6.8 rpg, both tops for the Salukis. His game is definitely inside, as he has taken no 3-point shots this season.

I am thinking they should foul him like crazy… I do like Shaw, Clemmons, and Mullins. I think SIU is slightly better than Davidson. Halton should be rocking tomorrow night…Randal Falker, the preseason Valley POY, is averaging 16 ppg and 6.8 rpg, both tops for the Salukis.

Thanks for the links Run! Man that PDF from SIUSalukis.com (first link) is awesome! Very in-depth, it’s like our media guide only updated for every game!!! We need something like that.
Anybody else having problems printing our Game Notes when you click on “File”? I keep getting an error message and that “Internet Explorer” will have to close. If you click the printer logo, though, it works. :wacko:
Quick look at the numbers surprised me. Teams are shooting a slightly higher percentage (41.9% vs. 42.5%) and outrebounding the Salukis (29 to 33.2). Their 3PT% is also an abysmal 29.4%. The key which has already been mentioned is they force a TON of turnovers which has been one of our weaknesses.

The key reason they lost to Indiana. Plenty of open looks, but couldn’t hit the side of a barn!
Falker + their outside shooting woes = zone.

Worries me a little, considering our zone has been a little faulty this year. But our D looks better every game so I think we could handle the zone.
Yes, this will probably be the game that Shaw breaks out of his shooting woes and has a career night! :rolleyes:
If we do play any kind of zone, we might see some different lineups.
NLP, I don’t think TOs have been one of our “weaknesses”. I think we’ve handled the ball pretty well overall actually.
NLP, I don't think TOs have been one of our "weaknesses". I think we've handled the ball pretty well overall actually.They are up over last year on a per game basis. How about it's something to keep an eye on against a team that averages one turnover forced in every three offensive possessions? SIU is scary good at forcing them.
They may be up, but I think that probably stems from us “running” a lot more, but you’re right SIU definitely forces a lot of TOs.

They have the highest TO% on defense in the nation:

2nd place really isn’t that close:

We’ll be better than fine if we take care of our free throw department. Go Niners ! ! !

they do play man to man though…i think we’ll have more trouble with zone this year. our athleticism does pretty well against man to man.

Moxley said the freshman is a great addition to the team because he focuses as much as any veteran to scouting reports and is mature in the mental aspects of the game.Nice! :thumbsup: He is going to be a leader by his junior and senior years.
