That was the team that went to the Sweet 16, that was the most exciting season in Saluki history. I will never forget watching the Salukis come back from being down 30-11 to Georgia in the second round of the tournament in Chicago. They spanked the Bulldogs that day, spanked Bobby Knights Texas Tech team two nights before, and gave Uconn a run for their money before bowing out against the Huskies(A team with Ben Gordon and Emeka Okafor on it, among others).
Yeah, Caron Butler hurt us with a couple of shots late in the game. My SR year, SIU made some noise in the NIT. Figures I would miss the great season of 01-02.
I'm gonna try and get down there for the 12/20 game at the SIU Arena against Central Michigan this year if I can.
