Wow - line change. From Butler -1 to SIU -1 1/2.

[MacabreMob]

Butler up 2 at the 1/2, 31-29.

Butler leads the nation in"flops". They out "flopped us". They are out "flopping" the Dawgs!
There should be a call for "flagrant flopping".

I believe there is... if one "flops" and there was no contact, there will be a call made against the "flopper".

SIU about to catapult in front of the Braves after they beat Butler. Salukis up 55-52, 37 ticks left.

OMG!!!!

Graves nails a HUGE LONG 3 at the buzzer and wins!

[Fyrebyrd]

WOW.....Butler wins on a 30-35 foot buzzer beater by Graves

Check that, SIU misses a million FTs down the stretch, and gravs hits an AP-esque buzzer-beater to beat the Salukis by 2. SIU had every opportunity to win that game, and took every opportunity to lose it. An appropriate ending to a terrible non-conference season for the MVC.

or not..... Graves with a huge 35 foot 3 pointer at the buzzer to win. Probably bad for the MVC, but I always enjoy watching SIU lose - especially at home!

SIU missed 5 straight FT's to end the game. Once again, Butler makes you pay. Well, at least it helps BU's SOS a little.

That shot rolled around... had a lot "juice" on it... and then in. Amazing.

I took the Bulldogs +1 1/2 and thought... yea... sweet, catch the bet and the MVC catches the win.

Oh, well.... off to the ticket window to cash another ticket.

And btw.... I take back everything bad I said about SIU... They play like they did tonight... they win the MVC at 15-3 or better. Bone coming outta his shell... SIU finding offense without Falker on the floor.

I disagree. If they play as anemic offensively and at the FT line AT HOME as they did tonight, they'll be .500 in league play. They are going to struggle on the road, and it's unfortunate that we won't be full strength when we go down there. SIU is flat-out BAD.

[Grassman]

SIU sinks 27% from the line. Tyrone Green and Mullins both missed front ends of FT's in last minute.
SIU also shot 27% from 3.
