Billikenswin Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The word is that Bob Knight will do our game on Saturday--if that turns out to be correct I think it will be great for our national reputation because he is a legendary coach who like Jim Crews and appreciates defense and team basketball like we play. We just need to make sure we play well and win the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 One would have to assume that means a pro-Crews, pro-Billiken slant to the game. That'll be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoma bob Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 BK said in his book that he wanted JC to succeed him at IU. I assume they are still pretty close. With BK you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bobbie is not my favorite analyst. I think the game has passed him bye. Take that Doc B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUisville Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Have we officially been flexed onto ESPN mothership, or is it still a tossup between ESPN or ESPN2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Pine Jim Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bobbie is not my favorite analyst. I think the game has passed him bye. Take that Doc B + 1. No offense, Doc B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenswin Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bobbie is not my favorite analyst. I think the game has passed him bye. Take that Doc B I actually think he is pretty good and he at least knows and talks basketball theory and tactics. Dicky V drives me insane and Bill Walton is even worse. I never thought I would dislike a TV announcer more than Dicky V but Walton takes the cake for insane patter and ridiculous comments all laced with stupid favoritism.

slu72 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 One would have to assume that means a pro-Crews, pro-Billiken slant to the game. That'll be nice. After the LaSalle cheerleader and asst coach we just had, Bobby's going to be a breath of fresh air. ESPN ought to give us equal time and let Rammer call it. He'd drive those VCU fans crazy w/ "Yes, Jordair Jett with another slash for 2." Or, "Bang, Junyah, for a 3!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard?date=20140215&breakdown=top25 The Oklahoma/Oklahoma St game is at the same time as us on ESPN, but I doubt that will end up getting the mothership's coverage. Our game will be much more box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bobbie is not my favorite analyst. I think the game has passed him bye. Take that Doc B good one, Willie, that's rich!! add that Clapton dude: guitar has passed him by. Or the beloved Jack Nicklaus: golf has just passed him by . . . . boo hoo. if you're trying to get my goat, it will take more than that !!! seriously, the general has forgotten more about basketball than anyone on here will ever learn. He can probably size up the players on the court in roughly 90 seconds. I'm prejudiced, but gee whiz: he knows the game and communicates it well, and concisely. Who do you think taught Crews, anyway?? and that's what we, and the espn folks creaming themselves, love the most about SLU right now: good old fashioned Norman Dale basketball. you know, screens, help defense, swinging it side to side to side, that sort of stuff.

willie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't know doc. Did you watch the Mo. Vandy game. Kept saying Vandy couldn't win shooting the 3 ball. Had to throw it into the middle and score inside. Every time it went inside was a turnover or blocked shoot. Vandy hit 12 three's to win the game. Must have made the point 4 times.

GOSLU68 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I liked the program in BK's last year or so which dealt with which of three walk-ons would be selected to get the last spot. When SLU auditions for walk-ons (who actually have a chance to play their way onto the court) we will have arrived. Can you imagine Tanner Lancona having to walk on to play at Washington or Washington State-only Washington getting any votes in the polls is George Washington.
