SIU is back on BracketBusters. The Salukis will host the Nevada Wolfpack in this year's BracketBuster match-up. Last year, SIU was the top draw of the made-for-TV match-ups when the Salukis visited the Butler Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are back in the top spot again hosting SIU rival and MVC leader Drake.
The real story of SIU's match-up is the return game to Reno. Personally, I'm going to start saving now and hope the return game takes place during Thanksgiving Break or Winter Break. I wonder how many of my fellow reporters can I keep in my hotel room in the MGM Grand in nearby Las Vegas.
On BracketBuster weekend, SIU will need to find a way to stop two 7-footers, and senior guard Marcelus Kemp. It could be the last hurrah for the Salukis.
Quality Linkage:
This will be a new segment of this blog. I'll provide links of things I find "newsworthy." Sounds simple enough, doesn't it?
- Baseball blog Bugs & Cranks provides a different perspective on Super Bowl XLII.
- Busted Coverage has got newspaper covers on lock.
- On 205th has a commercial that I don't remember either (I think I would remember this one)
- The Big Lead has three. awesome. angles. TBL is my favorite sportsblog for a reason!
- Someone can't find Illinois on a map. Thankfully, I can.
