Drejaj - 24 pts - home game. Can't be Fish - he isn't as willing to shoot. Can't be Bryant - everybody will pick him.

was a big hit since there was absolutely NOTHING left when I arrived at 6 - I think maybe they put out some more, but I didn't bother to get back in line. Lots of (good) questions and comments, and Keith Pickett was there to tout the Shootout again. We have access to prime tickets through the Tipoff Club - $22 a pop for some of the best prep basketball you will ever see - 6 or 7 games, including Tommie Liddell v. a certain Mizzou recruit at 6. If you can take a day off to just veg out, immersed in hoops, then this is the venue. I haven't missed one in years. If you want a ticket, contact *name deleted by request* on this board - he goes by billikenguest, spelled backwards...

I was replying to B Law

Your first really dumb post - how can you even compare the two except that they play the same position. Tom has real inside moves, he's a threat to make a good pass because he keeps his head up and sees the court, and he has a nice stroke on his ft shot. I'm elated to have him rather than KB.

I think it's clear that we should call him "The Hooker."

I think a cornerstone of the Jesuit philosophy is that it's never too late to see the light - i.e., seek forgiveness. Thus we must open our arms to all who find Billiken Nation, regardless of how late it comes in life. I matriculated at Swamp-east MO, yet had early Billiken training by my dad, a double SLU grad, and at SLUH. Welcome Billiken Law.

I'm pretty sure he had 3 years.

Newberry had some NIT runs - Josh might not catch him for the same reason Claggs isn't the all time lead scorer.

There are no good rappers, but you might change my mind if everyone would just turn down the @#$%&* volume...

85-15 at the moment...

That article's a riot - hard to believe an editor would let it go to press...

115,K,11-12 - for you out of towners, that's opposite the Bill's bench, even with the ft line, about halfway up the 1st section.

Will tickets be available at the Tipoff Club on 11/11?

he also got all the fts at the end of the game...but made them this year...

You mean you don't have a ticket? Shoot, I just gave 2 away. I'm sure there will be plenty of extra tickets outside the Savvis tonite -probably free.

Are you sure they'll let you out every game?

I believe an uptempo team will find us frustrating to play against.

18-12

18-12 - a vote of confidence for UB as a coach, teacher, and recruiter. I didn't even look at the schedule - I just think he's starting from a better place this year.

Yes he did...missed one, and did another...barely, in the warmups.

There is a great family seafood place in Birmingham - the name escapes me, but it's near UAB and the downtown area - just ask, and everyone will know what you're talking about. It packs them in, and it would anywhere - a real trip, and great food. I'm not talking fish fry stuff, but comparable to New Orleans seafood. Affordable.

I don't equate hops with quickness. The guy with the big vertical leap is great on offense for dunks and jumpshots, but when he gets way up there on defense in response to a fake, he's helpless...because it takes time to come down. AD has shown me he's quick, and can get his shot off in traffic - because of his quicks. Most basketball is played beneath the rims, so the ability to dunk is lost on me as a requisite for greatness. I think AD has the quicks to play D1 in any league.
