Recommended Posts

BEAT OKLAHOMA TONIGHT AT 8:00 PM CENTRAL ESPN2

So quite a start huh? Come Tuesday we'll be in the top 25. I hope to see us at 23 what are your predictions??

thoughts from around the league http://www.basketbal...tml#post6687989

This is with a win over Oklahoma

and I don't mean to jinx us.

I beleived we can continue moving up through the ranks after we will be soon ranked for the first time since 93-94 season, just win baby.

Being a Junior undergrad at SLU this is great to see. This is our time. Our season for the taking.

Now lets we can hope to get the Fetz filled up and all 1,000 of the free student tickets given away. ( but seriously we can't get 1,000 students to the game with free tickets, cmon guys!! we are good this year join the bandwagon)

SELL OUT CHAIFETZ FOR PORTLAND DEC 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that will be a neutral site game. It won't be at Missouri.

I know comparative scoring doesn't work, but that game may provide something of a loose barometer for comparing the two top Show-Me teams.

It sure will be tough for Villanova to play against guards who are so much quicker and faster than Mitchell, McCall, and Jett. ;)

Hey. Long time reader. First time poster. I have been a huge SLU fan my whole life. My dad had season tickets when I was growing up and I have been a diehard ever since. However, due to their Journalism school, I decided to attend Mizzou and am now a diehard Tiger fan. It is a difficult position to be in as I know many on this forum despise the Tigers and their refusal to play SLU, which irks me as well. Hopefully under Frank Haith that will change.

First let me say that there is no way Villanova beat Mizzou. I don't know if anyone has been watching the Tigers play this year, but they have blown everyone out of the water. They just won the CBE championship dismantling Notre Dame and Cal. Mizzou is too quick and too good on both ends of the court for Villanova to beat Mizzou.

However, this is a SLU board so I want to stick to talking SLU basketball. I think to even have a chance to be ranked come Monday we must win on Sunday. Hopefully it is Oklahoma. Then SLU not only has a chance for another BCS "scalp", but they have a chance to put a beatdown on the Sooners who I despise. However, even with a win I still think we will be just outside the top 25 (somewhere in the 26-30 range). That puts us in a very precarious position. We will be coming off a huge tournament win and will have to go to a very scary "trap" game against Loyola Marymount. I hate that this game is scheduled as I think winning the tournament will cause us to overlook them. However, it is still a game they should win. If they are still undefeated after next week I think you will see the Bills in the top 25, which is uncharted territory for me as a SLU fan. I was alive in 93-94, but I surely don't remember it (my first memories of SLU were Larry's year).

Also, if SLU wins out in California, we have a very good chance to finish our out of conference schedule UNDEFEATED. New Mexico will be a tough game, but we saw last night that they are very beatable. How amazing would it be to go into A10 play undefeated?! That would be unbelievable and would put us in a position with a good conference record (12-3, 11-2) to not only go to the tournament, but to get a very favorable seed.

It's a great day to be a Bills fan, but let's not get over excited. As Bills fans we know disappointment and heartbreak greater than everyone. I will not be satisfied until I see our name called in March.

But, for now, let's enjoy the win and come ready to play against whoever we play on Sunday!

For me the start of the College Basketball season has been awesome. There haven't been two teams to play much better than Mizzou and SLU to start the season. How awesome would it be to see the two meet up in a Sweet 16 matchup in Saint Louis? That game would be nuts.

I think Mizzou and SLU fans can both agree that your username is sickening. Good luck to your Tigers whenever they play a game on the road, or at a true neutral site.

Let's just say I'm not overly impressed by the teams that Mizzou has beaten. Notre Dame isn't very good. Washington is most likely better than Cal. Yet we should be cautious as SLU fans, but it's obvious that Mizzou will blow out Nova? Right.

Jeeze. I am not trolling. No need to hate. I decided to post because I love SLU basketball and wanted to talk about it. If you are going to judge me based off the fact that I attend Mizzou and, therefore, root for them too that's fine, but it does not diminish my undying love for the Billikens. The only reason I am cautious as a Billikens fan is that I have gotten overly excited about a team before only to have my hopes dashed. I try and keep a level head about my teams. I think they will make the Tournament and have a great chance to do damage. But as a SLU fan, wouldn't you say that we should keep our expectations in check this early in the season? Let's win Sunday before we start punching our ticket to the dance.

You're absolutely right but maybe you could reverse the syllables of your title.

My title in no way denotes my preference or fandom of one team over another. I have been a SLU fan way longer than a Mizzou fan and quite frankly live and die with every SLU game a bit more than Mizzou. Haha. I can take the shiznit for being a Tiger fan as long as people realize I am a SLU fan too.

So, getting back to the whole Top 25 thing, who thinks we are ranked if we win? Haha.

GO BILLS!
