  • SIU opens renovated arena on national television

    Against Northeastern as part of ESPN's third-annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 9am.

    ???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12

    9am? Good lord almighty. I probably would of passed up the deal to play on ESPN if I was SIU. Doesn't look to good to have a half empty renovated arena on National TV. Probably won't even make half full.

      Nobody nationally will be watching a 9am game, somebody missed the boat on this one.

        It's part of ESPN's plan to broadcast 24 straight hours of college basketball. Just be thankful you're not the MAAC school playing at 6am.

        Last year I complained when the MVC wasn't included in this ESPN promotion at all, so I'm glad we at least have a footprint in this.

          Given our recent record, we should be kissing someones ass that we are lucky enough to have an ESPN game. The only thing that bugs me is that we are going to lose the opener of the new arena. If there was ever a reason for buy game, this is it. Losing your first game on national TV is embarrassing.

            That 24 hour thing is lame.
            Onward and Upward!
