If Goodwins hits 80% and French hits 55%, we're Final Four baby!

I think that could be a good role for Linssen.

If French shoots 55% from the line, we're a top 15 team.

Seems like many too Temple and St. Joseph players (except no Delonte West) and not enough Xavier players. Don't think I would take Fernandez over someone like Roman Saito, Stanley Burrell, or even a Scoochie Smith.

Yeah, clearly a good problem to have. Remember when our best player was Mike Crawford? Disclaimer: Mike was a decent player and seems like a very good person.

I was actually thinking the opposite. It often seems like we struggle offensively early in games and I'd like to see us get off to better starts if possible and then bring in some of the better defenders and high energy guys like Thatch and Hargrove. That would frustrate the crap out of me if I was the opposing team.

I was wondering about this yesterday. If there's no fans in the stadium, does it really matter if it's home or away? And if the NET rankings are still going to emphasize "road" wins, should you just play as many games on the road as you can?

I think he's being sarcastic, Taj.

Given the pandemic, all schools should be looking for games vs. non-conference opponents that are within a short drive. Bring on the Illini!

It's really just an issue with reporting the data. There are often delays and some states report on a daily basis, while others on a weekly or even monthly basis. It was an eventuality that deaths were also going to tick back up again following the sharp rise in cases since deaths are a lagging indicator by at least 2 or 3 weeks (maybe even a month). Basically you can't have more deaths until you have more cases. Now, we may not have the same rise in deaths that we had in the spring since a much larger share of cases are in young people, we're better at treatment, etc., but an increase is going to happen (if it's not already).

Marcus Relphorde was a tweener, but ended up being a pretty good player at Colorado and I remember thinking that one was a big mistake at the time.

If SLU can be the institution that develops a working treatment for the virus, I think the basketball team should be an automatic qualifier in next year's Final Four.

You only redshirt someone who can help you later down the road. I don't think Diarra fit that category.

Bad post. Not cause you're wrong or anything, just it's so depressing to even think about.

this part cracks me up. It has been noted by pretty much every former staffer that the man won't even read one page memos, but yeah, he rewrote all the regulations involving the oil industry. sure he did.

My statement wasn't directed at you. Just venting about how much people credit presidents for various things when they really don't have all that much control over any of it. I have some hope that we will come out of this with a change in priorities, but I'm not holding my breath. The pandemic has exposed some serious societal flaws in this country, which is really what that Atlantic article was pointing out.

This. People need to quit putting all credit/blame at the feet of every president that serves. They are not all powerful people, even if they want to be. It's overly simplistic thinking and people, particularly graduates of Saint Louis University, should be smarter than that.

Actually, right now, a lot of our taxes are going to a massive government intervention in the economy. There's a word for it. Begins with S and rhymes with ocialism.

Well, now the unemployment rate is going to be 30% and presidents, for right or wrong, get credit when things are good and blame when things are bad. Deregulation and tax cuts often seem like good ideas at the time, but sooner or later the bill comes due.

you claimed Trump was the next best president since Lincoln like a week ago.

Man, you have a twisted sense of leadership these days.

I think i was referring more to the initial bank bailout package that had broad support from the Democrats, but less support from Republicans, as well as the stimulus package that received no Republican support. My point is that Democrats tend to have a history (recent and not) of more proactive responses than the Republicans. Much of this is probably due to one group believing government has a role to play and the other thinking that government is the problem.

While we'll never really know, we can at least look back to how the Democrats (and Republicans) responded during the financial crisis.

I have no idea of how good this guy is, but he's a direct fill-in for Hankton's spot in the scholarship grid and almost surely an upgrade given his stats. And if nothing else, he can play French's minutes during the final stretch to help with foul shooting
