http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the ... ncaab.html I wonder if this will have any effect on them for our game Wednesday? The event might actually be a bonding experience or a rallying cry for SIU and help motivate them. |

SIU might ask conference officials to cancel Wednesday's game on account of the bus mishap and continuing bad weather, according to Chi. Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... 2224.story Quote: [SIU's Athletic Director] said SIU is planning to speak with the Missouri Valley Conference officials today to discuss whether Wednesday's game is going to be canceled or to look at alternative travel arrangements.

I'd be surprised if the game moved at this point. Sounds like they might be angling for help from the league on getting a flight? I mean, think of all the fans who would have to rearrange their plans. |

Hinson just said on the Valley teleconference that they were supposed to be on the Amtrak, but their train was canceled so they are on the bus taking I-55 up to Chicago. Practicing tonight at 7:00 for the first time since their last game. |

From Hinson: Q: How are you guys holding things together with all the things going on around the program over the past few weeks? A: I don't know that we are holding it together. |
