How do teams like UD and VCU consistently get P5 games? They win alot of games, travel well. CJS needs to do the same, but I maintain it should be against the BEST non P5 teams we can, in home and home series. Play and beat the best non P5 teams you can find, they will come to us. SLU should reestablish a relationship with the StLouis Sports Commission (if it still exists). Establish a 4 team tourney here, play it at the Dome, or the Savvis even. A double header. Good teams, non P5 within 100 mi of StL. Memphis, DePaul, Murray State, Northern Iowa, High Point, Stony Point, heck even the Blue Point Oysters if they have a team and are good. Make StL a bball destination. If the P5 wont play us, let's stop whining about it. We are stuck with our league, so do like the women's soccer team, go out and get the best schedule you can. Not for the fans, but for the team to tell them they're good and we will bring in the best teams we can to show the bball world how good we are. No more pisx asx teams that dont build confidence for our men. End of rant mhg

Was he defended the way GJ was defended last year? He was literally mugged every night, especially in the league games.

What we need is a state rep to do like the Louisville rep did in KY…..filibuster in the state house til Mi$$ou agrees to play us. My recollection is he held up the state funding for UK til they agreed to play.

My favorite moments at the old Kiel were the NIT games. So loud and exciting. I remember one of my MD peers, normally a quiet and composed man, leaning over the rail at the end of the court with one of those circular horns with the big rubber bulb on the end, squeezing away to make noise when the opposing team was shooting free throws. Great memories. Thanks for stirring those times for me. mhg

Wow! Wouldn’t recognize him with the short hair

No Super Bowl?

Please, don’t encourage him

Have heard that multiple times from my buds at the Y…an unimpeachable source LOL

Is this an AD or coaching staff issue, or both?

Alithos Anesti (from another Greek!)

Just was thinking the same thing. A buyout clause adds to the likelihood a player stays.

Hold 20% of the $ at the end of the season, go to the portal, you lose it

Ha ha ha!

Yeah, he probably scored enough, but the guy he was supposed to defend scored more.

Or the player gets his act together and has a Conklin summer, gains 25 pounds and help himself and his team.
