Many people are saying it's not fair to judge this team by one loss and we still don't know anything about this season's Cats. Yet, after we played Chicago State and Arkansas Pine Bluff many posters were talking about how deep and talented this team was and how Ty Berry was the next Duncan Robinson. So, let's split the difference and turn the page.

Will we learn anything about this team during the SIU game? Or are they just another overmatched team that will give us no insight into what we really have on the roster? What are you hoping to see? For me, I would like to see Ryan Young in the starting line-up; he's earned it. I would also like to see Chase Audige be more selective with his shots. And I want to see us crash the boards.

They're Kenpom #331 so this should be another 20+ point whooping that won't teach us very much. We should have a significant advantage in size and athleticism, so I'd like to see us put that to good use, not just by pushing the tempo but by controlling the glass and actually looking productive out of our offensive sets.

They gave LSU a bit of a scare in the second half after they eased off the gas, but LSU still won by double digits in the end. They got blown out against their other legitimate competition. There will be very little to be gleaned from this game, I don't think they have anyone healthy taller than 6'7"

Agree. I’d start Ryan Young and bench Buie and Audige to send a message.

Run the offense for Kopp. And play through the post.
