The bench players have arrived. The supporting cast came up huge to give the Salukis the boost that they needed in this game. Josh Bone and Tyrone Green both had the best game of their young college careers. Bone scored 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting and Tyrone Green kicked in 4 points and 3 boards while playing ten strong minutes. Coach Lowery ran a four guard offense for much of the second half and Tyrone Green was forced to defend Drakes best player Ajay Calvin. Green kept Calvin away from the basket and threw his body into Calvin to keep him off the glass when a shot went up.
Not to be forgotten is the play of Jamaal Foster. Foster came in and played 12 minutes and threw down yet another monster dunk. Clemmons and Boyle played a small role completing Southern’s new 10 man rotation.
All five starters played good basketball tonight. Tony Young lead all scorers with 16 points including 6 of 6 from the foul line. Matt Shaw chipped in 10 points including a three pointer and a monster dunk that sent the crowd into frenzy.
It was a fun game to watch and the Salukis proved they are the better team. With tonight’s win SIU improves to an astounding 47-1 at home in conference games since 2001. Now it’s off to

Not a bad job on the hamster ball. Only a couple seconds off.
Yes, I was in the Hampster Ball race tonight.
I was going good, then I had to get around the second cone... it did not go as planned.
Anyway, it was fun... I wish I was raceing aginst someone else instead of aginst the clock. 20 seconds is not long enough!!!
