I checked all of the picks for the season and you did't have me down for my picks. I had 23-10. I know its alot of wins but I really think are defense is gonna shut people down and are offense is gonna be crisp and we are gonna create matchup problems with teams. It boils down to rebounding and keeping the people we need on the floor to stay there. I see Fisher and sloan getting atleast 35 min a game along with Reggie and Izik along with Anthony but after that I think it is a toss up. Marque was great last year but I rember alot of dribbling in the lane and getting the ball slaped away the motion offense isn't a dribbling offense everyone has got to make the extra pass and find the guy with the best shot unless you can score at will on the guy. I bigs are gonna have to hit the inside shots to I can't remember how many times we got the ball down in the post last year and came up empty.The perimeter players on this team are gonna open up the inside and get the ball there we need people to finish. What does everyone think?

If anyone goes to the scrimmage today could they give some updates? It would be greatly appreciated. Go Billikens !!!!!!!!!!

30 year old from seattle area followed the billikens since Fisher arrived. Played football and basketball in Highschool and football in college for a short time. Love college Basketball and can't wait for the season to get into full swing. Keep the updates coming after games really enjoy most of them. Hope thats what everyone was looking for.

Im not gonna make any predictions on anyone tell I see them play on Dec.6th versus Arizona. After that game I think people will know who is ready for the season. 7 points and 4 assists can you please explain how he got worse from last year? So Slu I guess I'm asking you since your there and you know so much where will the points come from. I personally am not sure. So help me out!

Coaches get more credit then anyone I have always found coaches to be the best source when wanting to gain basketball knowledge or any other sport. So I'm sure that you have alot more knowledge then some guy who after his team loses and goes home and can't get all the blue and white paint off is face. Then goes and gets on the net and tells everybody why we lost and what he would have done. I mean thats poppycock!!!!!!!

Can somebody please tell me I dying to know what is a poppycock? But thanks for the new word.

All those things you listed were good valid points. But like wise with Basketball or cooking there is always those people who think they know alot because they watch basketball or they eat a lot of food. But I'm sure people don't know what those little ingredients are that make that meal so good. Or say what offense we are running,what is the defensive scheme. Sure you can learn by watching or tasting but the experience isn't there and people who have played these sports before do know and are better qualified at making an oponion on something they have experienced before rather they making some off the wall perdiction before a game has even been played.

I'm not saying I'm right about anything if Fisher is scoring 6 points and 4 assists this team is in big trouble. That is the way I see it and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Fisher's stats have improved every year at SLU and for you to think he is gonna do worse his senior year. Well just have to wait and see how things play out. I said some people don't have basketball knowledge and Im gonna stick with that if you have'nt played competively in college or high school you are a spectator and really dont have enough back ground to make assesments on players. I mean everyone has an opinion just like everyone has an a ***hole, and I enclude myself there so dont think Im singling anyone out.

I don't think Fisher is a savior by any means and don't know how his season will go, hopefully great. I do think that he is the glue that holds a team together. I think if anything happens to Fisher this year the team is in big trouble. Im not a friend of Fishers or a relative just have been following this board for a long time and some of the statements made by some posters (dont remember who) like Fisher will average 6 points and 4 assists if those are his stats you will be lucky to win the preseason games.

Out of the seniors on the team who do you think the leaders will be and why? And after averaging almost 9 points a game how can any of you not think Fisher wont average double figures.For this team to be any good this year they are gonna have to stay within the O and play great D that means the whole team. The bigs have got to catch and finish in the lane and hit there free throws. And if we dont rebound long long year. What does everyone think? From Seattle area and have Watched Fisher for a long time only a few people on this board have basketball knowledge. And his name is spelled FISHER. For those of you who still can't spell it after 4 years.
