Today I had the fantastic opportunity of covering the basketball game between the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Clippers at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Here is what is on tap for Salukis during the winter break.

After the SIU men&#8217;s basketball team&#8217;s 66-64 loss to Charlotte on Saturday, it all became apparent to me.
The 49ers have the Salukis&#8217; number.  And to be honest, I&#8217;m not sure why.
Not only has Charlotte defeated SIU in its last four match ups, it has won two of the match ups at the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gusbode.wordpress.com&blog=4537258&post=1448&subd=gusbode&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

First, I&#8217;d like to reintroduce the Beyond the Stat Sheet blog, where numbers matter.  Important statistics will be highlighted in bold-faced type.
Now, on to business.

It was coming off three straight losses in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gusbode.wordpress.com&blog=4537258&post=1428&subd=gusbode&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As most already know, SIU&#8217;s head football coach Dale Lennon was awarded the Missouri Valley Football Conference&#8217;s Coach of the Year award on the heels of the most successful first-season as Salukis coach.
Lennon raced to seven consecutive wins after beginning the season 2-2 and on the verge of lying on the playoff bubble. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gusbode.wordpress.com&blog=4537258&post=1404&subd=gusbode&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Jeff Schirmer finished in 25th place in the NCAA Championships Nov. 24 to become the first SIU cross country to receive all-American status since 1984 when Chris Bunyon finished in 21st place.
The scariest part about it is the fact that Schirmer is only a junior. With a good offseason, Schirmer has the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gusbode.wordpress.com&blog=4537258&post=1381&subd=gusbode&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

And that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that turkey, stuffing and pie are involved.
