Siu 63 Uni 68

[Da Coach]

This looks like a strange game. SIU was 22-61 from the field, UNI was 18-27. SIU had 34 more shots than UNI! Rebounds were even 32-32. UNI had more turnovers than SIU, 19-12, yet UNI won the game, thanks to poor shooting by SIU and 66.7% shooting by UNI.

Duno if anyone didn't get to catch this game earlier, but it is being replayed on Comcast Sportsnet Chicago right now.

I saw some of it during timeouts and commercials...it was ugly, as just more proof SIU can't shoot, and relies almost exclusively on street ball techniques and pushing the limits on contact.
Why do they keep shooting so much from 3-pt range when they are so bad at it? And Falker can't guard anyone taller than he is, as his defense made Jordan Eglseder look like Lew Alcindor!

How does a team get only 27 shots off a game LOL. Thats like getting just a shot off every minute and 48 seconds in a game. Roughly 1 shot every 3-4 possessions. Thats almost unheard of.

Jason, not to quibble with your point, but it's one shot every minute and 29 seconds. Yeah, 40 divided by 27 equals 1.48, but that's 1.48 minutes not one minute and 48 seconds. Still a valid point though.
