kwyjibo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Give me a break, this team hasn't been there before. Give me all the games and some positive juju heading into next season. Also discussing a potential CBI bid 4 games in is actually kind of great this board is Actually, given the great start by the A-10 record wise (I believe they are 44-11; which is .800 WP), SLU's chances of having a decent RPI keep going up. They could easily reach the CBI with a mediocre run in the A-10 (and beating the rest of their cupcakes). I think SLU's chances of turning down the CBI increase the worse their record is though (they could very well feel like getting more practice and competition if they are .500 or better but may think otherwise if worse). Right now even a .500 record the rest of the season would get them NIT consideration. I think the A-10 may come down a little bit but SLU's SOS will be pretty good (not exactly what I expected but being in a winning conference changes things). If you are optimistic 16-10 the rest of the reg season would get this team in NCAA consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Cheeseman, always the fair, bias free, and knowledgeable poster! Well I did check the SLU AD website for stats (thank you very much this was very useful) and found the following: Yarborough 2 TO, 1 A, 7 R Roby 2 TO, 0 A, 0 R Neufeld 2 TO, 0 A, 2 R Bartley 1 TO, 4 A, 1 R Agbeko 1 TO, 1 A, 9 R Crawford 1 TO, 1 A, 9 R Yacoubou 0 TO, 2 A, 10 R Reynolds 1 TO, 4 A, 4 R Gillmann 4 TO, 3 A, 0 R Milik'a game was not terrible, he did contribute positively to the SLU win. As you can see above you are entirely wrong in your call of the multiple and horrible turn overs committed by Yarborough. He had exactly 2 turnovers, no more than Roby or Neufeld and less than Gillman or Agbeko. However you in your "well informed impartiality" decided to bad mouth Yarborough by saying his rebounds were nulifiied by the 3 or 4 turnovers he had. Wrong baby, he only had two turnovers plus his one assist and 7 rebounds which leaves him in the (+) column, and not worse than most of the other players. Please check your facts before you post insults to our players. I presume you are in deep thought since last night about how to spin this "terrible game by Milik" into a major failure for Crews. All I can say to you is: keep on thinking baby, JC is doing just fine so far this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and enjoy your turkey. I accept that I made the worst mistake of all - disagreeing with you - my bad. I will try to refrain from making this mistake. Apparently I let the two horrible turn overs cloud my memory - I stand corrected. I would also suggest you reread my posts in this thread, I never attacked JC. In fact I have been somewhat neutral on him regarding this season. I never insulted any player, saying a player did not play well or made horrible turn overs is not an insult just an opinion but once again, my mistake is forgetting you have a very thin skin so you may very well think anything that is not sugar coated is an insult. I am glad you finally figured out how to use the tools out there to help you be better informed but once again, you go overboard, I simply pointed out that you do not have to wait until the PD prints the box score before making your comments -sorry for trying to be helpful.

Old guy Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Cheeseman, I believe the mistake you made runs a lot deeper than disagreeing with me. You raised false accusations against Yarborough's performance in the UNF game. As far as Crews goes, and not in this particular thread but in multiple occasions in past threads, you have made very disparaging comments about Crews. I do not think I have a thin skin, but you are entitled to your own opinion in this regard. I already thanked you for the source of stats, there is no need to feel sorry for this. One observation, humility does not suit you, or me either. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Regarding MY. He has the best vision on the team. His game wasn't great but not horrible either. 7 boards in 14 min is nothing to sneeze at. 1 assist but many other times he's the one that gets the ball moving. And his 1 assist was very nice.

If you are optimistic 16-10 the rest of the reg season would get this team in NCAA consideration. The A10 is off to a great start indeed. RPI forecast currently projects the conference to finish 6th, just barely ahead of the Big 10. Furthermore, RPI forecast has an expected record of 17-13 for SLU (one better than Pomeory) and suggests and expected RPI of around 90. Win a couple more above 17 and we would be looking at an RPI in the 50-60 range and an NIT bid. http://www.rpiforecast.com/teams/Saint%20Louis.html Goes to show that in addition to rooting for the Bills, we really do need to hope other A-10 teams continue to do well during the non-con. Yesterday was a good example. No headline wins like GW over Virginia but the conference went 6-0. There are 6 more games today. 4 or 5 wins would be real nice.

One observation, humility does not suit you, or me either. All the I was finished with you but since you insist on posting lies about me I have no choice but to respond. Never have I said anything disparaging about Crews - if so prove it - all I have said is that I did not like the hire but I would give him a chance and that is what I have done. My opinion of MY's play against NFU was not an insulting attack - I admitted that I thought he had more turn overs than he apparently actually had - not sure how that was the wrong thing to do - but whatever. You can think you do not have a thin skin however if anybody says anything other than nice things about a player's performance then they are being insulting but once again I must be wrong because you said so - talk about a lack of humility. Also, you go overboard with any response that is contrary to you what you think but I guess it hard being you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 OK cheeseman to end this I must confess I have a thin skin, my bad. I also loose sleep at night thinking how hard it is to be me. I also must confess that you are blameless and humble at times and that it fits you well. So, now that all of this is out in the open will you please have a nice Thanksgiving and enjoy your turkey.
