An Open Letter to Saluki Nation

Next in the "Open Letter" series, a message to Saluki Nation.

Dear Saluki Nation:

A simple request from one of your own for tonight's basketball game: Be there. Be loud. Be Proud.

The Salukis host MVC leader Drake tonight at the SIU Arena in a pivotal match-up. While it might look like the Salukis have nothing to play for, that assumption would be wrong. Beating Drake, the No. 14 team in the country, would keep Drake from clinching a part of the MVC regular season title on our home court and keep our undefeated record against conference opponents in tact.

I believe that home court advantage is one of the key aspects in college basketball and being supportive of your team can really pick up the spirits of a team struggling to stay afloat and be competitive with a record hovering around .500.

So Saluki fans, I know the weather is tough--but get out there and support your Salukis! You might get a chance to play a role in something special.

Sincerely,

LuDo
