  1. Thanks, for the game guys. I hope our team has a great time at Applebees.
  2. When Aziz N'Diaye is the UW's second leading scorer you know you are in trouble. They have no chance if the guys cannot make shots.
  3. I think Romar went into the locker room at half time and asked the guys, "OK, Where do you all want to go for lunch?" Sad, they shot 48% from beyond the 3 pt line in their first three games. Their FG percent in the first half was 21%. Maybe next week in practice they will pay attention.
  4. Man! This thing is over. Give the Billikens credit. They are hitting every shot. This is the first time I have seen the Dawgs all go cold. They cannot even convert the easy layups. The experience of SLU is really schoolling the young Dawgs today. I would not have believed it based on what I saw in their first three games.
  5. I completely agree that an upset is possible. I am surprised the UDub is not a heavy favorite. I think that is because they have only been on TV once and that was a local broadcast. The national media and scouts have not seen them play. They have a history of losing the games they should win, especially on the road. So anything is possible. That is why we don't let Vegas determine the outcome. IMO based on what I have seen in the first three games this UW team is more talented than any we have had in the recent past. I was not impressed with last years team which relied on MBA and Isaah Thomas. The year before it was dependence on John Brockman. In recent years they never seemed to have more than two 'stars' that were carrying the team. This group does not seem to have any players that are above the rest. They all look like terrific athletes with the confidence to carry the team. The problem may be determining who gets the ball with the game on the line.
  6. Can you please tell me the origin of the word Billiken? What is that?
  7. Hey Guys, Dawg fan here. I come in peace. You seem to have covered most of the issues so I will try and avoid being redundant. Just a couple thoughts. First, the Dawgs are much bigger and faster than your kids. You are giving away about 5 or 6 inches per player. The UW strength is in its wing players who love the open court game. I think you will be surprised by how many 6-5 to 6-7 athletic kids the UW can put on the floor at once. They all score well and defend. Second, our guys really improved from game one to game three. We should have beaten all three teams easily. They played everybody which led to alot of confusion at times. By game three they were pretty dominant. At this point in the season that extra game we have played could prove very valuable as guys are starting to find their roles. Third, Aziz N'Diaye is going to be an NBA center. He is athletic and much improved from last year. Wroten, Gaddy, Gant and a couple others could have a future in the NBA as well. Good Luck, tomorrow. GO DAWGS!
