On what he wants to see from the Salukis on Wednesday vs. Hampton... "I want them to come out and play the right way. We have had good starts to games this year. To be back at home, I want high energy. I want the ball to move a little better than it did against Missouri. I want to advance the ball in transition. Defensively, play great team defense and limit them to one possession. If we can limit teams to one possession, we can get out and run. Obviously, our achilles heel has been the rebounding part, and we have to continue to work at that." - SIU head coach Bryan Mullins | Watch the full press conference on YouTube
