Hello everyone. I'm an SMS fan (Southwest Missouri St.) we beat SIU in the semis of the conf. tournament. You may have seen Brad Korn get knocked out. I also post over at Valleytalk. Anyways some info and insight on SIU. They aren't lying when they say they defend. They'll guard you the entire time and pressure the heck out of your ball-handler. Can't wait to see how Shelton handles it, ES can ball. I saw him play in Springfield a couple of times w/ White Station. If the refs call the hand checks and don't let them play to physical on D it'll play into your hands. It did in the SMS-SIU game. They're not real big. Brad Korn will hit some clutch 3s gotta keep a man on him. Have to take care of the ball and make the most of all your chances, otherwise they'll make you pay. As for the arrogance of them on Valleytalk its from them going 17-1 in conf. that kinda breeds arrogance, unfortunately.
