Re: Game Thread - Southern Illinois Salukis

I've always wondered if the players hear these post-game rants at times.  So, if they heard this one it will have them go out and be motivated and play their best game ever...or not!!

The rant went on for about 5 minutes (you can find the full version on YouTube) - he also referenced his wife when talking about rebounding - to paraphrase “as I’ve told my wife for all these years, size doesn’t matter”.

FAM, since this rant was from 2013 and this loss to Murray St. dropped them to 2-8 on the season, we can see that...  The Salukis proceeded to win their next 2 and finished 12-11 the rest of the way. The rant probably helped Hinson’s mental health more than his team.

Looks like Dukes missed their wake up call.

Refs missed their wake up call too.

Re: Game Thread - Southern Illinois Salukis

I can't pick up Ray's play-by-play on WJAS online for some reason, so I'm listening to the SIU broadcast.  One of their announcers keeps referring to Duquesne as Du-coin.  It's hilarious.

Let's Go Duquesne!

I see what you mean. Looked like the refs started getting nervous when we went up by 3.

Poor first half for everyone not named tarin smith. Poor officiating hasn't helped either.

Re: Game Thread - Southern Illinois Salukis

Dukes outrebounded SIU 21-10, but was offset by 8 turnovers to 3 by SIU. Need more out of our centers - Brown and Robinson combined for 2 points and 4 rebounds. Hope Lewis II has another good 2nd half in him.

Nice follow-up by JRob.  Dukes cut it to two.

C'mon Dukes.  Let's make it eight straight and give our long-suffering fans an early Christmas present.

Let's Go Duquesne!

Another phantom foul.

Re: Game Thread - Southern Illinois Salukis

Even the SIU announcer remarked that "Dambrot saw better calls than that in the Mid-American Conference."
