Well his 10+ minutes per game as a sub for Schertz that was all he was going to play anyway.

sorry i dont subscribe to the fatigue excuse. first off Schertz has been playing the short rotation his entire career and with a lot of success. Second, these are young men that in tremendous condition and probably are taxed more in a 2 hour practice than a game of 40 minutes with 8 mandatory full time outs and a half time. let alone a few minutes rest in the game with the one or two subs Schertz does employ.

amen. probably our last (and only) chances to pack the place this season. big mistake.

Jimerson, Avila and swope are typically not all gonna suck same game. They collectively make 4 more threes we win. We also got out rebounded. Not a good sign when Jimerson leads the team in rebounds We are the going to win at least one of next week's games.

The middle 20 minutes of the game was the best defense the billikens have played this year.

The NCAA and the power of conferences do not want to share. They do not want as any program other than the power conference members in the discussion and the sooner they can divide Division 1 into parts and keep all the spoils to themselves the better for them. Nothing all us "lessers" can do but watch it happen.

If you believe the NET, you are correct.

its sad that all we (the entire A10) has to root for is a double bye. sigh

Simple solution. Coach tells his players to quit fouling. I think what happened was fantastic. Bout time we see steps to stop the physical play.

not if there is a concerted effort to start calling all the fouls. it might take a season. but the coaches will get tired of 5-6 players fouling out every game. they will have to adjust.

i dont have a problem with this. yes it was likely painful to watch, but basketball has been progressing to a game of rugby for years. start calling ALL the fouls and eventually the teams will adjust. i.e. quit fouling. the result will be a game that highlights real skills not thug ball. it will be a thing of beauty.

you meant "Schertz has got to buy better and stronger players. Right?

No I asked if he is so bad why hasn't his bosses (president and BoT) did anything about it? My answer is that he has did what they wanted and they are satisfied we with the results. I.e. I fail to see May as the problem. Look to the BoT. (President is a short timer so he is off the hook)

I've said this before but it seems appropriate now, if Chris May is and has done such a horrible job and not performed as expected for so long, why has the Saint Louis University president and BoT continued to allow him to continue in his position? My guess is he is doing what was expected. With the exception of maybe Debbie Yow, I can't think of a better athletic director for Saint Louis University in my 50 years of following the Billikens. Thanks Chris May.

john lennon couldnt shoot with a damn. and harrison might have been the worst defender in the history of basketball.

warlick needs a haircut.

Goodwin didn't play football until he was like a junior in high school. Btw, that unathletic basketball player his first game in high School, (he started varsity as a freshman) took the opening tip, streaked to the basket and slammed over the guard who was back on defense. He was an athlete. And besides lisch, never saw a high school player play harder than him, and other than Rodman, imo inch for inch best rebounder I ever saw.

the zone was effective because it was typically utilized after random breaks in play and more or less surprised them. what is the difference is changing defenses and looks. we do not have to become syracuse.

I think this move by SLU makes a lot of sense. I've been saying all along going to our handful of whales year after year wasn't going to last. As soon many are pointing out with the possible tax advantages there seems to be a much greater opportunity for the University to handle this and satisfy the athletes. I still don't like the whole fiasco, but this makes more sense to me.

Nice.

because unlike you, we are true fans. being a true fan is more than cheering only for a winner. it is sticking with them through thick and thin and suffering together. it all seems kinda destructive, but it is what it is. i am sorry you arent capable of being a true fan. anyone can root for the yankmes, or the dukes or kansas or the chiefs. but it is a challenge to be a billiken fan. it's hard. but when in those few instances where we are on top of the world (even for just two games) it's spectacular. you'll never experience that total feeling.

oh no. What will 92 now ***** about?

thanks hoosier pal. that video is a lot of fun! cant help but notice again how instrumental johnson is becoming. the ultimate glue guy.

The last few years a number of St Louis locals have played for Mokon

cant happen playing the few minutes the bench played. face it, schertz is a no rotation guy. might use the entire bench 20 minutes max. last night the 4 that saw time played 19 minutes total. the positive of this is that assuming they are condititoned to play that much, schertz has his top players in the game. the bad news the bench will not develop the needed confidence to succeed. its a self fulfilling prophecy. all at once they dont believe they are good enough and sure enough foul trouble or injury arises and now you have a weak link in the game. its worked for schertz his entire coaching career, who are we to question it.
