I'm keeping my source anonymous, which is allowed in the media. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. I admit I don't know the guy. All I was saying is that my source, who is a good judge of character, said that SLU would be better off without him and I will take him at his word. The fact that he broke a police station window last year doesn't help his defense. Why does this bother you so much anyway? He will never be a Billiken so the subject might as well be dropped. Welcome to the Billiken board, however. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U."

Actually I could care less that he beat my high school. I had already graduated by then and lost total interest. The only reason why I ever know that anything happens at my old high school is because I work at the local radio station. That's the only reason I knew he played so well against them. I don't spread rumors about people and I think other people on the board would back me up on that. That's great that he's at SIU and playing well. All I was saying is that I wouldn't want him on the Bills from what I've heard about him. Aren't I allowed to have my own opinion dawg?

I'm not going to name any names, but I know a person who worked at Helias during Tatum's high school career and they told me that he wasn't the kind of kid SLU wanted. Basically saying he was a trouble maker and didn't have very good character. I don't know Tatum personally, but that's what I was told and my source is a pretty good judge of character. Although there probably isn't much need to debate this anyway. SIU has him and all we can do is look forward and hope for better seasons to come.

Roy, you heard that from me. Being from a town in mid-mo that plays in Helia's conference (Tatum's alma mater) I've heard some things about his past. He did indeed have at least two kids by the time he was a senior in high school. Plus last year he got arrested/suspended for I believe breaking a window of a police station. He was definitely a great player in hs..scored 35-40 on my school a couple times, but definitely not the kind of character I want wearing the Billiken blue.

We've had a few threads on this guy in the past. It turns out that he signed with the Illini last year, but didn't have the grades, so he went to prep school. Illinois is no longer interested in him for some reason. I believe he was a top 100 recruit last year. I would take a chance on this guy. I doubt if he's any worse that any of our pf's now. Hopefully he'll sign with us and we could possibly get a gem. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue.

Yes, Drew did play against MU during his SLU career. The first year (when SLU won) he red-shirted. Then he played against them the next two years, which were both close losses.

DePaul 75 Mizzou 70...Diener goes for 30 points! "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

Western Michigan 54 Marquette 40 Good luck in the Big East boys! "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

For those who are interested, here's a new article by Jeff Gordon about the state of the Bills and how to improve next year... http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/co...4E?OpenDocument "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue.

Couldn't the fact that Leonard barely played this year kinda play in our favor? I mean, I would think big schools would either lose interest in him or not be able to discover him. I would think we;d have a really good shot at this guy anyway since his daddy wore the Billiken blue. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue.

Signguy, any way you can put up an A-10 countdown on the mainpage by the A-10 logo? Marquette has that on their athletics website...not that I want to be like Marquette though!!! I just thought it would be a cool feature since most of us are really looking forward to the change. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue.

Here's a story that I just discovered on the AP wire. See anything incorrect about it? CONFERENCE USA HOLDS LAST TOURNAMENT BEFORE SIX TEAMS HEAD TO NEW LEAGUES MEMPHIS, TENN. (AP) _ THE CONFERENCE U-S-A TOURNAMENT IN MEMPHIS IS SOMETHING OF A FAREWELL PARTY. SIX MEMBERS, INCLUDING DEPAUL, ARE BOLTING FOR NEW CONFERENCES. THE BLUE DEMONS ARE MOVING TO THE BIG EAST, ALONG WITH LOUISVILLE, CINCINNATI, SOUTH FLORIDA AND MARQUETTE. TEXAS CHRISTIAN IS GOING BACK TO THE HORNED FROGS' PREVIOUS HOME IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST. NUMBER FIVE SEED DEPAUL OPENS PLAY TOMORROW AGAINST 12TH-SEEDED TULANE. THE BLUE DEMONS NEED A VICTORY OR TWO TO ENSURE THE N-C-A-A TOURNAMENT AT-LARGE BERTH. DEPAUL COACH DAVE LEITAO (LAY'-TOH) SAYS HE PLANS TO KEEP HIS BLUE DEMONS SO BUSY THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY VICTORIES WILL CLINCH THE BERTH. Last time I checked, aren't we and Charlotte leaving too? "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U."

Tatum's a nice player, but I wouldn't want him. The fact that he was arrested last year and had 2 kids by the time he was a senior in high school would make me a little concerned about his character.

Making free throws at the end of the game would probably help, but at least they gave them a good game. Better than the 20 points loss UAB handed us last year.

I hope they start selling jerseys at the bookstore. I started a thread a few weeks ago wondering where I can find an authentic jersey and never got a straight answer. Any idea if they'll have numbers on them? I'd love to get 00! "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue.

Here's the latest with the arena as per the Post... http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/st...llion+for+arena Looks like someone gave $1 million anonymously. Ok I admit it...I decided to help out!

I like how that looks too, but I'd rather play TCU than UAB, but I guess beggars can't be choosers, huh? "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

SLU 78 IPFW 66 final! Izik leads the way with 20 pts...Ian finishes with 18 and we shoot 61% from the field. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

SLU 61 IPFW 49 with 6:20 to go. Ian has 16 pts. You can view the game on game tracker at www.slubillikens.com if you want better updates.

I sure hope this is a typo, but according to the wire, SLU 34-IPFW 33. Izik leads us with 9 points. SLU was up by 8 with about 3:30 left, but then game tracker froze, so I hope this is a typo, but I'm sure it's not judging by this season.

So, I guess no one knows where you can find authentic Bills jerseys? "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

I read somewhere on the board that Reggie was back in St. Louis with some sort of illness. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

Yay!!! We finally got another win! SLU 55 SF 47! Looks like Clarke had the game of his career. "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

Clarke has 8 points? I don't know what's more surprising...he has 8 points or that he's in the game? "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer

I'm at work and only have the wire to go by, so is SLU 26 SF 12 really the halftime score? "Praises we sing, to you our alma mater, Praise to the white and blue. Our hymn shall ring, in tribute strong to you, We hail Saint Louis U." Official Billikens.com sponsor of Andrew Latimer
