I have given this a lot of thought... thinking how both the pro-May and anti-May forces could all be happy. I want everyone to get along. I think the only logical outcome where all sides would be united behind a positive result is if May were hired as the Athletic Director at trump university.

A rule that you have violated MANY times.

For someone who has been a crusader against politically charged talk on the board - your hypocrisy shines through once again.

You're just borrowing don's cute little catch phrase - be more original.

Future SLU opponent Loyola Marymount won in OT last night on the road at UCSB and are now 6-0. LMU is our only true road non conference. It's an opponent I wouldn't be worried about if it was neutral site, but weird things happen on the road. I recall in RM's first breakthrough year, we went to California to play in a tournament and beat Boston College, Villanova and Oklahoma. We then stayed out there to play a road game at LMU and lost. We lost against the worst of the 4 opponents. It's a cautionary tale. LMU has a guard Myron Amey who shot out of his mind last night - put Dion Brown on him. They also have a nice 6-8 transfer from USC.

Schertz said his offensive role will be cutting to the basket and he's very good at it - the rest of his teammates are getting used to looking for him, and will start doing it more - he had four cuts to the basket last game, including 2 of 3 successful alley oop attempts.

Not really. He already has 2 losses and sitting at 99 in KenPom. You really think an at large is realistic for him?

And how screwed up is college basketball, especially for non P6 programs. But really, why does it matter for Drew? Does he really think he's got a chance at an at large bid?

It needs to be pointed out that GCU went on an 11-0 run in the final 3:30 with three of their starters and their 6th man playing against primarily our 3rd string and two walk-ons. In fact, we were winning 78-56 with 2 minutes to go when Jaden and Isaac checked in. That would have been the time for Drew to respond in kind. Schertz may have have underestimated how big of a tool Drew is. Drew was getting embarrassed so I guess he decided to leave his best players out there to try to save face.

My biggest question about this team heading into the season was the defense. I was hoping it would be better, but until seeing it, I wasn't sure. The first five minutes of the game on the defensive end set the tone. That was the type of defense we didn't see last year. I'm proud to say I was one of the first to get on the Dion Brown bandwagon. What a bulldog! Otieno is the rim protector we did not have last year. McCottry and Thames hunt steals, and the length of Jones is disruptive. A big improvement in athleticism, length and toughness on this roster. I think we are now capable of still winning games when the other team effectively slows the tempo down or our shots aren't falling, as long as the defense consistently brings it like last night. I'm also encouraged that Schertz did not shorten the bench against our first decent opponent. Continue to try to wear opponents down and take over in the second half.

A_dud is one of the most clueless posters on the board. Consistently a tool for the P5 programs.

This is spot on.

And you care too... obviously

Goodwin was a +32, not too shabby! He was one rebound away from a double/double.

Good question - kinda like the ineligible players it seems.
