Yeah, we got three votes!! Can't wait for the Davidson game at the Holmes Center! Should be a record crowd on hand... for a basketball game.

I'm ready for Western Kentucky to surprise yet again! :D

I'm always eager for basketball untill the season starts. :o

I'm expecting a mediocre-good year for SIU this season. We have good chance to win the Valley still, and as long as we beat Creighton at home, I couldn't care less what happens the rest of the season.

Looking forward to the start of the season. Have to be optomistic -we open next Friday 11/14 at home against Maryland-Eastern Shore.

I don't see a sell-out since it's on a Monday night. In case you don't remember, the Tar Heels came to open the HCC in 2000 in front of 9,000+. Would be nice to put 6,000 in the seats though.xnodx

American is very good. Start all 5 seniors. They have Oklahoma nd Gtown on the schedule. They will do some damage this year.
