The Salukis

I am very worried about my Mountaineers and Pittsnogle in the first round. As a 6 seed West Virginia drew #11 seed Southern Illinois. First of all, Jim Belushi and Clyde Frazier are both Salukis.
SIU also plays a style that may be difficult for WVU. They slow it down and play tough D. It's hard to get your shooting rhythm when the other team is holding the ball for 30 seconds on each possession and always gets back on D. I haven't scouted SIU at all but I know most good defensive teams know how to switch which could cut down on WVU's open 3s.
One rule of the NCAAs is, live by the three, die by the 3.
Also SIU has that plucky cheerleader who fell from the top of the pyramid then continued to be aggressive (b-e aggressive) as they were carrying her away on a gurney she was still doing her cheers. She even defended the stunts after the conference banned 3 tier pyramids.
