I just hope the Salukis start playing well so when tournament seeding comes, this looks like a "quality road win" for us.</p>PBMon, 03 Dec 2007 17:47:25 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857858<p>Any new recruiting news or updates?? Does anyone know how our 2008 class is looking so far in their first couple high school games?? Seems like as soon as the college season starts no one cares about this stuff.</p>Steve OMon, 03 Dec 2007 15:06:46 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857857<p>"a quality road win"</p>ALH '00Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:02:10 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857856<p>I think Ratliff will be the first guard off the bench for one simple reason: He is a very good defender. That is something this team desperately needs on the perimeter. Bassett in particular has done a suspect job at best at stopping penetration. Against a good point guard like Lawson, Collison or even Travis Walton of Michigan State, he'll get manhandled if he can't stop ball penetration.</p>Big AMon, 03 Dec 2007 14:58:05 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857859<p>Any thoughts on how things will be different when Ratliff and Crawford are both on the bench for this team? Will Ratliff ever start on this team? Do they compete for the same minutes?</p>TsellMon, 03 Dec 2007 14:50:16 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857855<p>Best.Picture.Evar</p>Big AMon, 03 Dec 2007 14:19:06 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857854<p>aaaaahhhhhhhhh.</p>LukeMon, 03 Dec 2007 13:31:00 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857851<p>i thought it was Al=Qaeda.</p>McNastyMon, 03 Dec 2007 13:14:00 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857850<p>oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.</p>jaime gongoraMon, 03 Dec 2007 11:49:01 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2007/12/03/the-morning-after-southern-illinois/#comment-3857852<p>In case anyone was confused by the picture selection, it's symbolic. You see, the friendly man in that picture symbolizes IU because he's taming a saluki.</p><p>It's beautiful, really.</p>PostmanRMon, 03 Dec 2007 11:14:35 -0000
