  1. It's not. I got a text message from 2 board members with an invite.
  2. Might be tough with only one year left, but this is the kind of player that seem slike he would fit the new system.
  3. This is going to be interesting to watch. I think one of the biggest differences between the MVC/A10 and ISU/SLU has been our ability to schedule home and homes with P5 schools. Was that a Ford thing or league thing? Hoping the schedule remains robust and we get some good non-con home games.
  4. Very few teams get to win their last game of the season. Way to go ladies.
  5. The concert is a fundraiser for Cardinal Glennon. It happens every year at Chaifetz. Always a country act. I belive the performers donate their performance. I wonder if SLU makes anything on it?
  6. Thanks for sharing what you can and have. Hopefully this is put to bed soon and the new coach can hit the ground running. There are multiple people that can take this job and be successful, each in their own fashion. Let's hope the decicion makers land on one of them (soon).
  7. It hasn't been confirmed but is treated as gospel by some on this board.
  8. Let’s hope they take Indiana State’s bid.
  9. As a 2 time transfer, does BE still have options? No idea about the rules now.
  10. I will be very surprised if SLU hires an assistant coach (without head coaching experience on their resume) unless it is a financially driven decsion. That would be inconsistent with what was said during the last hiring cycle and inconsistent with the last two women's head coaching hires.
  11. Saw this on ESPN. 4 pm here but still showing 3:30 other places.
  12. But a coach probably wouldn't stick around to coach an NIT game. Which is where (insert midmajor conference regular season winner/tournament loser) could end up. Then you are ready to go.
  13. I would argue that SLU has at least one very important advantage over DePaul as it relates to Moser. He knows you can win here. He was part of the staff under RM that built a top 10 team. It has been done at SLU in recent history (how far we have fallen). DePaul hasn't been relevant since when, the 1980's? Although, DePaul is the answer to an important trivia question...who was SLU's first win in the Great Midwest.
  14. Sorry if I missed it…is Corey Tate not here tonight?
  15. Yeah. This is pretty much where I am at. A lot of people on here say " I am not sure but have a very reliable source that says....". The reality is no one knows and you just have to filter or ignore the posters that bug you the most. I actually think it is comical and highly entertaining that there are still people adamantly defending the coach's performance while others think starting an email campaign or threatening to put up a billboard (while asking someone else to fund a buyout, new coach, and robust NIL program) moves the needle. One way or another, this will resolve itself. TF will stay or go and all of us will decide how we want to engage based on that. I will put one opinion out there and stress it is my opinion, not something I heard from a guy who knew a guy. If we move on and have to pay some kind of buyout, we will all pay for it. Yes, a big donor or two will hopefully step up and help, but season ticket prices, and parking in the SLU garage, and concessions, and Billiken Club tiers will very likely be impacted also.
  16. Nice game. A few random observations. Curious if I am the only one who saw them: Dr. C sits in front of me. He looked completely disengaged until about 15 minutes left. TF looked a lot calmer on the bench last night. A couple of plays that previously would get him worked up (the last turnover and big Brad's last foul come to mind) didn't. The offense flowed much better with Meadows and Medley on the floor together. The ball actually moved more and there wasn't one guy at the top of the key pounding it into the floor deep into the clock. Hope we see more of that. The team hasn't quit on the coach. At one point in the first half the rebounds. 21-9 against. Wonder what was said to reverse that?
  17. Baskerville Holmes Memphis State circa early 80’s.
  18. I know they have a really solid P5 transfer visiting this week that would be a good pick up.
  19. One of my favorite teams was the 93-94 team. It was outrebounded by about 2/game but had 6 fewer turnovers per game. If we get no more bigs eligible, there is a model to be successful. And I am not comparing this team to 93-94, just pointing out that there is more than one way to generate possessions.
  20. They were hoping for a 6 pm men's soccer game.
  21. Fair point and I don't think they are mutually exclusive. But I think you have to find HS kids that want to come here and NIL is the sweetener. What I don't think is viable is to get into a bidding war for HS kids (or any kids) with no connection to SLU. And I don't think anyone on here is advocating that. But I don't think it is an accident we signed 4 foreign players and multiple transfers and one HS kid (early) in this class. And I do think it is worth mentioning again, the 2 time transfer rule is going to be a headwind for kids jumping schools multiple times. Would you rather sign a freshman or a kid that has played in college for a couple of years? The latter has more limited options to leave going forward.
