Bradley rebounds and beats SIU at home 63-44.

It was sad for me to watch that game tonight and see just how far SIU has fallen since I was there. They've gone from being in the tournament every year, with a couple Sweet 16 runs...to a bottom feeder NCAA team. Shows just how quickly things can change when bad decisions are made. In SIU's case it was agreeing to a horrible contract extension for Chris Lowery, and continued with what looks to have been a bad hire for his successor.

I wouldn't completely give up on Hinson yet. SIU was pretty much at the bottom of the barrel when Barry took over and it's going to take a little more time for him to get it back on solid ground. I haven't seen SIU play this year, but there seems to be some decent young talent that needs another year or two. If he can bring in another decent recruiting class I think you could be on the right track.
