kwyjibo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I have said it before but I think we should take on Vermont in Burlington. I would be happy to buy the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikens747 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I have said it before but I think we should take on Vermont in Burlington. I would be happy to buy the first round. Heady topper or some Hill Farmstead? Do we typically announce our NC schedule mid August? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 SD State on December 9th. http://www.gojacks.com/SportSelect.dbml?ATCLID=209596064&DB_LANG=C&&DB_OEM_ID=15000&SPID=7143&SPSID=88455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 SLU put out a bit of a marketing push to sell season tickets today and in it they mentioned it would be a 19 game home schedule. Which means if we have a 31 game regular season and play 2 exhibitions, we still have another road game to announce (in addition to the 9 A-10, WSU, ISU and 2 games in the tourney). If we play only a 30 game regular season or only have 1 exhibition game, we won't be starting any other road series this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 They're in a similar boat, only returning 1 starter and 2 key bench player. Also lose 5 of their 6 best scorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Heady topper or some Hill Farmstead? Do we typically announce our NC schedule mid August? Whichever you prefer! There are many other good options (Lawson's, Lost Nation, Drop-In, etc.). They have Heady in small burrito shops in Burlington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabills Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 mentioned this before, but I'm new to following college basketball closely. When can we expect to see a finalized schedule for the upcoming season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 SLU announced today that the first game in Corpus Christi will be Friday, November 28 at 8:30 vs. Mississippi St. on CBS Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixiah Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It was announced today that St. Louis will be playing Wichita State at Intrust Bank Arena (rather then at the on campus arena). Seating capacity is 14,000 so there should be plenty of seats available if anyone wants to see the Billikens play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillikenMania Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It is a nice arena. I actually lived in Wichita back in 2011 and was at the place for the first minor league hockey game held there. For Wichita, it's a very nice place. The arena hosted a first weekend of the Women's NCAA tourney a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouthBilliken Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Looking at the ESPN college bball twitter, compared to the low end A10 members it seems we got the bottom of the barrel preseason tournament wise http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=99684&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2Fr3avvZkVop%22%7D http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=99682&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F2eBr6GQ794%22%7D http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=99712&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FTo8MvwUMBv%22%7D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 That means only one exhibition against a non-Division 1 opponent. Hmmm with Biondi gone do we still play Rockhurst in the middle of the season? Memphis would be an excellent non conference foe. Pastner wants know part of Crews' though. Only will play him behind closed doors just Calipari did with Majerus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play only a 30 game regular season or only have 1 exhibition game, we won't be starting any other road series this year. Bump. I'm pretty sure the exhibition game coupled with the 19 home game schedule means we won't be starting any new road series this year. The only road games we'll be playing are Indiana St., Wichita St., the two in Corpus Christi and the 9 A-10 games. With 9 non-con home games and Vandy and SIU coming here, I'm thinking you can expect 7 buy games when the schedule is released. A bit disapointing but clearly a tactic to get some wins/confidence for a very young team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit disapointing but clearly a tactic to get some wins/confidence for a very young team. Unless I'm counting wrong, I believe the Bills only played 18 home games (exhibition, 8 A10, 9 non-con home) and 32 total games prior to the A-10 tournament (including the exhibition game) last season. Assuming the same numbers, then this year could be 1 exhibition, Vandy, SIU, 6 home buys, 9 A10 home, 9 A10 road, @Indiana St., @Wichita St, 2 in Corpus Christi, and 1 yet to be determined road game.

The Billikens’ A-10 home and away matchups were announced earlier this year. SLU will host four A-10 squads that reached the NCAA Tournament last season – Dayton, UMass, Saint Joseph’s and VCU."
