SIU-EDWARDSVILLE RUMORS
Indiana vs. Ohio State: Senior Night Preview
Tuesday Night is senior night for the Indiana Hoosiers, and three players in particular — Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, and Derek Elston will be taking the court one last time in Bloomington as they take on the 14th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
I was going to say it’s been a bumpy ride for these three seniors, but I don’t think that quite does them justice.

New year's grades: College basketball's best shooters
In the preseason writers get to fill up the interwebs with predictions, which then go away. That's what it means to be an 'expert.' You get to say crap, and you rarely get called on it. Too much time passes. People move on. But I'm a masochist. I keep track of my predictions so that I can grade myself. There's some hope that by doing this I'll get better...

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Southern Illinois improved to 5-0 all-time against its sister school, SIUE, with a 71-55 victory in a rare road trip to the Edwardsville branch of the University system.
It was a feisty contest between two schools separated by 100 miles and one letter in their names. With 6:16 remaining in the contest, play was stopped due to a scuffle...

Reconciling two tempo-free preseason ranking methodologies
Ken Pomeroy and Dan Hanner both released preseason rankings for all (or almost all in the case of Hanner) 347 Division-I men's college basketball teams in the last couple of days.
Both are based on tempo-free efficiency data to varying degrees, and both provide endless (and often meaningless) fodder for bloggers like this one and this one and this one. But while Pomeroy&...
Scorer's table: UNLV dominates Illinois
1. Of the nine remaining unbeaten teams, Illinois' had perhaps the weakest resume. And now they have a loss. Bruce Weber's offense has been a work in progress, and had failed to score a point per possession against SIU Edwardsville (0.96) and St Bonaventure (0.81). The problems were lack of three point shooting (214th nationally) and an inability to get to the line (232nd...
