They are playing well at the right time. Don't you think with their good run and fine season that Rodney Terry should get the permanent HC job. I'm sure Rick Barnes would endure him.
Endorse him!

Texas defense is legit need to get past Miami to get back across the Red River and play in front of a burnt orange crowd in Houston.
Sir Jabari Rice's shot fake is a thing of beauty.

Loving this tournament. I'm flying back to Austin 1 April and might just hop in the car to drive to Final 4 in Houston. Tix were $222 on Seatgeek yesterday.
Who ya got as the favorites? Gotta be Texas and Zags right? Texas handled the Zags but that was at home early in the season. Texas also beat Creighton, and is 1-1 vs KSU..
Has to be the Zags as I want Mark Few and his team to cut the nets down!

obviously you have a fixation on one aspect of the coach and ignore everything else that could be positive. it shows that your knowledge of basketball is limited
No, I've been a basketball and SLU fan pretty certain a whole lot longer than you have been alive. Be happy to test my knowledge of SLU Hoops History with you any day as I go all the way back to John Bennington days. Don't think you want to embarrass yourself dennis_w.

Rick proved we don’t need local or 4-5 star rated players to win here. He did it with mostly 3 star non locals. We tend to forget that his guys went to 3 straight dances. And the last two were basically done without a coach. Point being it doesn’t matter where they come from or how many stars they have, it matters how they’re coached and developed. 5 mids in the Sweet 16 prove that good coaches can with less than stellar or local talent.
I'd agree slu72 on Majerus...he had the gift and basketball knowledge to Coach up his players. Seems to me Jordair Jett was a football star in HS (not saying he did not play HS Hoops) but he had offers to play college football. Instead Rick got him to play at SLU and he was a heckuva player and only one of many who made us proud to be SLU Hoops fans.

how was it that the billikens ever won even a single game, ford cant construct a roster, doesnt listen to his asst coaches, never uses a proper screen, uses the weave , allows local players to go to other schools, i could go on and on with his flaws. likely will never win a game going forward. what a pathetic coach. i could have used blue font but you get it. last five years won nearly 70% of the games. ignore feature will be used liberally going forward
How many NCAA Tourney did SLU play in the last 5 years???

I dont think Ford is the right guy based on his last 25 years of work but any coach will miss out on some local kids and put me in the camp of its time to stop being so reliant on local kids anyway. Just go get guys who can play specifically guys who can actually defend.
Glad to see there is another Billiken fan who also did their homework on Ford's history as a HC as I did. While it appears he will get another year because the AD who hired him was not on board in firing him after another disappointing year...as a lifelong Bills fan I'll hope for the best but will continue to comment when the Ford Coached team does not meet up to my expectationsl. I don't fret one bit about people who don't agree with me. Trust me many are already on my Ignore list. There are enough fans on here who appear like me that want a lot more from SLU hoops than we have been given in the last 7 years. I'll also NEVER apologize for rooting for other teams like my wife's Alma Mater TN Vols or Gonzaga. Their past history in hoops makes them easier to be a fan.

More glue.
No glue just facts...hard for anyone to deny them either when they stare SLU fans right in the face year after year! No worry I'll still enjoy the Jesuit U's that do seem to have a way into the Tourney.

it was very publicized when Kalkbrenner was in high school he wanted to get out of town. nothing about liking or disliking SLU or Ford. he was always heading to a catholic school away from St Louis.
i am really trying to like you schasz and i defend you as much as i can, but your presentation at billikens.com makes it really difficult. i dont know how much longer i can give you a break. you seem to be drifting into the troll hall of fame of billikens.com.
Roy...you are missing the point. Kids like Kalkbrenner really shouldn't have any reason in looking away from staying at home and playing for SLU. SLU has given them the reasons... Our most recent appearance was Ford's one year and before that Majerus and Crews taking Majerus' recruits to the Tourney. We really give a kid like this one or any other right now little hope and dreams of playing for their St. Louis U team in the NCAA Tourney. Now I'm sorry you feel the need to make your last statement about me, especially since we happen to know each other and you know how passionate I am about Billiken hoops for my entire life. It's hard for me to believe that I want more from my Alma Mater than you do!
-
Here's something for those on here who always tell the MBM's what a wonderful recruiter Ford is. Well if that is true and I have never really completely bought into it that notion...why didn't 7' Ryan Kalkbrenner a Catholic St. Louis player have a Billiken uniform on instead of a Creighton uniform on? Could it be he likes playing in the NCAA Tourney instead of sitting at home watching it as all SLU have fans done with the exception of 1 year under Ford? He looked like he'd have been a HUGE addition to the Bills lineup didn't he!

You do you. Root for whoever you want to. I’ll admit I might be reading to much into you comments but every time I see you type “Gonzaga is my favorite WINNING Jesuit University” it grinds my gears.
I’ve defended your Tennessee fandom on this board on more than a few occasions but your wording of your Gonzaga fandom seems like you are intentionally pushing buttons.
That said…Go Zags. I’ll be pulling for them and Princeton the rest of the way.
Don't know how many of my posts you read but I have my Under Grad degree from SLU's Business School and when asked made a nice donation towards the remodel and it's now known as the Chaifetz Business School. No one on this website would be more over joyed if the Billikens could go on NCAA runs like Gonzaga but until it happens I'll be pulling for the Zags!

I have absolutely no problem with your Tennessee fandom. Your recent repeated post about how “Gonzaga is your favorite winning Jesuit school” has pissed me right the f*** off.
Why you post so much on your AT BEST third favorite schools message board is beyond me.So folks cannot have a rooting interest in the NCAA...Hmmmm! After I explained I got on the Zags bandwagon when I lived in Seattle from 96-2000. I don't tell anyone on here who to root for(especially with our MIA from the Tourney Again). The topic on here is the NCAA Tourney. Pretty impossible IMHO not to have a rooting interest especially when I have seen the Zags play a number of times. Sheesh a lot of people on this website have serious issues...please get some help!

Anyone know what happened to Marki Strickland the 6'5" player from last year? Looked like a raw kid with a lot of athletic potential.

I get it ya'll got issues with Schasz but Barnes is a decent coach. TJ Ford loves the dude that's enough for me. He seems to be a class act and teams perform well not the best. He has 1 Final 4, 2 Elite 8s and 5 Sweet 16 appearances. I didn't realize his first HC gig was George Mason for 1 season before Providence hired him.
Don't fret about me A_Bomb as I never see the ignorant people who post about my rooting for UT. Frankly, there are lots of posts about Coach Barnes that are negative today on Volition. He will be ending a HOF career in the next year or two. His teams play very good defense but do seem to come up short on the offensive end as they did last night. Majority of right thinking SLU fans would be very pleased with the success UT has had over Barnes years coaching the Vols. You're right as his players like playing for him.

My favorite winning Jesuit U Gonzaga moving to the Elite 8. Feel bad for my wife Shari that the Vols were God awful in the 2nd Half.

This doesn’t belong here and don’t tell Roy but Michigan State just ran the weave.
Willie...Pretty sure that's been one of Coach Izzy's plays in the past. Still remember the heart breaking loss the Bills had to his team when Coach Majerus had us in position to pull the upset.

It is always interesting when some bold posters says "someone needs to....." How about YOU DO IT. If you feel strong enough to post this message, have the fortitude to do it. Or, don't try to assign your task to someone else.
May's contact information is :
Chris May Director of Athletics 314-977-3167 [email protected] HoosierPal...Why would one waste their time debating with Chris May when that person thought he screwed up both of his HC decisions. He was waaaaay to lazy to hire a replacement for Rick Majerus. He promoted Jim Crews who was on auto-pilot the entire time he was on the bench at SLU. Yes, he did take Rick's players to the NCAA's twice, but Majerus left him that anyone with coaching experience could have done that. What Crews did not do was telling...he did ZERO to build on what Rick left him so then May cans him after 2 bad years,
I was NEVER down with the Travis Ford hire. Why? I knew what he had done early in his career including the stint at UMASS. Then I looked closely what he did at his 8 years at OSU. In 8 years he made 5 NCAA Tourney's and one NIT. He never won the Big 12. He won a total of 1 NCAA games and that was his 1st year. Pretty certain because he was recruiting to a Big 12 his talent was much better than any place else he's coached. He did recruit Marcus Smart to OSU. So IMHO he had enough talent to have won 1 friggin NCAA game. Count me as someone who may recognize talent. Gee I don't see that as a huge quality. His problem is being able to coach up the talent. Still is at SLU. One thing to get talent a whole different one to coach them to a cohesive winning team. So IMHO and I know we'll not agree Chris May reached and failed SLU fans a 2nd time.
While I know I won't change anyones mind on Ford thet like him. I thought I'd lay out why I think we are kicking the can down one more year in keeping him. If he fails next year I'm not wanting Chris May to make another dumb HC hire. IMHO he's 0 for 2 now!

do you seriously believe travis ford has an offer better than the money he is currently supposedly getting paid? i dont..
In a word NOPE! No one out there that foolish except for the equally inept AD May!

Courtside said he was gone, that isn’t happening, get over it. May absolutely did the right thing, he got out ahead of the bs, remaining quiet would have been the worst thing possible. Better question, when is the group still pitching a temper tantrum going to stop whining and support the program?
IMHO it's fine to support and root for the team and still think the HC is in over his head and should GO!!!

Hard disagree. This is the right year.
Ford is just not a very good coach. I was wrong with my initial assessments of him. Time to move on.
Actually past time!!!

This is one of the best sentences ever posted on this here message board.
Or if he doesn't then the Big Boosters should fire both him and Ford both!!! Frankly, I don't trust him to make the next HC hire as I am totally uniderwhelmed with both the Crews and Ford hires!!!

see, I disagree completely. How can it be safe to say it’s failed when all the big boosters who post on here have been silent?
Maybe we are waiting for FAU to lose to make the announcement.
SLU_Nick hoping your last statement happens tonight...GBO!!!

True but the Cardinals don't say we drew 3 million but only 2 million were full price tickets. If the plan for the Cardinals is to get butts in the seats it seems to work so why not for SLU.
However, the Cards ownership is heavily invested in Ball Park Village so Stadium Attendance is only part of the Revenue that goes in the pockets of the Cards owners.
