Big challenge today for the boys. Need to bring the energy and execution they had Thursday night. This is where we separate ourselves even more from the rest of the league. Dylan Miller stay aggressive on both ends like Thursday. DEng needs to have good minutes off the bench, he did on Thursday. AJ keep slashing to the hoops. Play sound defense and no stupid fouls. P-smooooth and Khy stay hot. Dex is a given and will do his great job as always. Go get this win.

Will be tough. We played a tough game Friday night and have the awful trip to WIU. On the flip side... These guys have been off all week and will have fresh legs.

5Dimes has us listed as 3.5 point favorites. Haven't been able to see many of the games so far this year. Looking forward to being able to see this one. Stealing road games at this point is huge obviously to help push us ahead of the rest of the conference.

Western Illinois with a 6' 11" 250 lb sophomore center, Brandon Gilbeck,
who leads the Summit League with 45 blocks. Go get'em Dex, draw
some fouls and send him to the pine.

Also a dynamic scoring guard for the 'Necks, Dylan Covington, 20 ppg.
The 6' 5" senior has 1677 career points, #1 all-time in the D1 era
for Western Illinois.

Need Dylan to stay aggressive and help draw some fouls on him as well. Otherwise Carlin and AJ will be shutdown from driving to the basket.

Like how Dylan is "enjoying" his gametime activity more, realizing how
he can help the team with rebounding, blocks and a more physical
presence. He is starting to look more like Chris Kading this way,
even down to shooting the occasional uncontested jump shot.

Interested in how this road game is going to go compared to how the Denver game went. I will be watching today. Go Bison!

15:00 minutes to tip off. Let's do this. Go Bison!!!
