Franchise_08 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Maybe they anticipate SLU being a bigger draw next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Kind of funny how just using the word "marketing" sets some folks off. Hotels in the Apple will be pricey pre-Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oh well. Bucket list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it starts November 17 The ticket web site says the games in NY are 11/16 and 11/17. Other info says we will have 2 home games before going to NY, so by 11/17 we will have at least 4 games under our belt. I wish the tournament was a little later to give the team and all the new players more time to gel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin running point I can see but not with french. With Washington being there, the whole Romar talk gets more interesting as a slu fan. Washington without Porter wont be very good. Neither will VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got four guys coming back that averaged over 28 mpg, Seth LeDay becomes eligible, Kerry Blackshear will be healthy and they add two top 100 recruits.

So SLU and VT could very well be the best two teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providence will also be very good next year. They lose no one from a team that has finished strong in the Big East to get up to third place. They're a tournament team that will be senior-laden next year with some good young talent, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the turnout will be. We had a good turnout at Fordham, at least it seemed. Weird to go to a concession stand that was on a folding table tho.

Yeah, I watch them a lot (roommate is an alumnus). They took awhile to figure things out this season after losing Dunn and Bentil - two guys who were first team all BE. But they have been amazing lately and lose no one, obviously pending transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hopefully we get to play Belmont as part of the regional rounds. I don't think we are quite a tourney-level team next year, but it could be a solid RPI game at the end of the year if we do end up battling for an at-large bid.

Right now, Houston Baptist is 170, Seattle is 270, and Detroit is 289. I guess Detroit has some interest for fans of a certain age as a former conference rival, and Seattle has some interest, as well, given that their head coach is former SLU assistant Cameron Dollar. Belmont is clearly the best of these four, though, and I'd hope to see them for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to take some convincing, but I'm hoping the Mrs. can boondoggle a work trip to her New York office and we could do the weekend in the city. Even if she can't, I'm putting this one on the calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I am interested as well. Should be a good group in New York.

Flying to STL instead of the east coast for either VTech or Providence might be the thinking. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 So, this was the big Announcement Chris May was going to make. Very nice, we have not played in a tournament like this for some time, it will be nice for our "new team" to go to this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Is anyone else confused by the announcement? It only refers to the non-MSG teams as playing games in Nashville the two days AFTER the MSG games. Does that mean we will not be playing any of them prior to going to NYC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorydays2013 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Anyone else notice that of the teams who have the logos enlarged, we are one of them. Subtle but looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providence, Virginia Tech, Washington, and Saint Louis will host a pair of regional round games on campus in addition to playing at the World’s Most Famous Arena on Nov. 16-17.
