Disappointing season,but future looks bright

The Salukis had a bad season overall this year, but the future looks bright. We have the #25 recruiting class in the country this year. I really believe that we could have been a championship contender if Jamaal Tatum would have stayed one more year. By the way, what ever happened to Tatum?

Randal Falker, not in the Portsmouth Invit.?

64 seniors comprise the 8 teams of 8 players for the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Randy was not one of them. He went from being one of 30 college basketball invitees for the Pan Am game last summer, to not even making the top 64 this year. Who is to blame for this? Did players like Shaw and Bone keep Falker from improving more, and therefore remaining one of the top 30 college players? ...(more)

SIU vs. ASU

Tony Boyle is the man vs OSU and hasn't seen on tic tonight. Can't understand it. If Shaw and Falker aren't performing and making their shots, the offense has to be generated somewhere. Another questionable coaching decision by lowery.

KU vs. Davidson

did any of you all think that ku-davidson game was very similar to ours against ku in the sweet 16 last year? it seems like the formula to beat ku is slowing it down, great defense, and knocking down treys. anyways i was rooting hard for davidson, and was disappointed they did not pull it out. just like siu last year, davidson didnt have enough fire power to hang with kansas.

Randall Falker

It's been a privilege to watch him over the years. I've seen him in person twice and on tv countless times. He always seemed to have a level-head, never talked too much garbage, and played the game it was supposed to be played. Give me 5 Falker-type players any day. I wish him good luck in the NBA. I see him as a Malik Rose-type; a little undersized but a guy that can D up on someone bigger or sma ...(more)
