DeSmetBilliken Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 How far we've fallen. Is there a stock of game footage from 2011-2014? I really want to see a time when we weren't a terrible basketball team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJK Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The DE look. The stone cold stare. There is nobody on this current team with the kind of drive he had. Nobody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The DE look. The stone cold stare. There is nobody on this current team with the kind of drive he had. Nobody. Dwayne was so serious sometimes I wondered if he was really having fun out there. Dwayne was such a great player and it was fun to watch Dwayne smile when he helped cut down the net when they won the A10 tournament. Like Anthony Bonner Dwayne will always be one of my favorites all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Man I hate Butler. Mainly because my girlfriend can trash talk SLU's program since her school is clearly in a better place right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Should have played Memories over the video. Now the question is how long to get back to the good recently passed days. Those games were certainly fun to watch on TV. Jumping and hollering like I was there at the Fetz. Today, it's a struggle just to sit thru a whole game and it's done with way more apathy than enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Anyone have the Dayton vid? It was right after the Butler game.I came in for both those games. One of the best week of Billiken basketball I experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rob Loe absolutely dominated the first half of that Butler game. His low post play was underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromDaEastSide Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rob Loe absolutely dominated the first half of that Butler game. His low post play was underrated His whole game was underrated, I miss his ability to seal a defender to allow the ball handler to drive in for a lay up/dunk. i.e. DE's dunk at home against VCU in 2014.

SLUfan_42 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hands down my favorite outting I've ever witnessed in 15 years going to Billiken games. This team was so special. The best of all 3 tourney teams we've had imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Speaking of Butler, wasn't there a rumor that Rotnei Clarke was going to transfer to SLU when he was leaving Arkansas, but Anderson told him he couldn't transfer to a school in Missouri? I thought I remembered reading that on here years ago. If that was true, how good would that team have been if you added possibly the best 3-point shooter in the country?

CBFan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It all comes down to recruiting when you watch the good times pasts. One recruiting class made such a big difference, MM, DE, RL, JJ and of course there were several other pieces that made it all work but when you look at what those four did in their senior year I just do not see that type of level being achieved by the 6 sophomores, I hope I am wrong.

It takes 2 classes. I don't think that 2010 class happens without the Conklin/Mitchell/Reed/Cassity foundation in place. Conklin held the program together during the turmoil of that fall. You need trailblazers like Conklin and Mitchell - fearless underdogs with a chip on their shoulder - to come in and set the tone for everyone else.

Yes, I believe his sister played volleyball at SLU. Reportedly, Anderson didn't allow him to go to a school in "Missouri" presumably to prevent him from going to SPUMAC, but unfortunately it also impacted us.

You need trailblazers like Conklin and Mitchell - fearless underdogs with a chip on their shoulder - to come in and set the tone for everyone else. You need to really stack the talent. You really need to go eight to nine deep with talented players. For all the crap a guy like Cassity took on here, he was a pretty damn good basketball player. He would at a minimum be the second best basketball player on this current roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass first wing, always played hard on D, could knock down an open shot, and understood spacing on the offensive end. Underrated player for sure. Wasn't the scorer I think a lot of people (myself included) wanted him to be, but did everything that was asked of him and was a stabilizing force alongside Conklin during the turmoil of the 2010-11 season.
