actually... i think we do take this one... and after a weeks worth of chicken wings... I think Willie is going to have the extra hops... i just hope we fill up the place!

Indiana state had like an 88 RPI to our 87 RPI and we schooled them pretty much all night. We could have won by 30 if the offense hadnt completely fallen apart in the second half...
Where did all of the Bill-ievers go...
-
so using that logic we should have been driving to the basket with 10 seconds left instead of running out the clock?
-
or at least for me... if one of my players did that at the end of the game... i would bench him for the rest of the season... down by 12... we could have easily scored 3 or 4 times on our last position... and just held the ball... 10 sec left... we are trying to dribble the game out at half court ... and he steals and showboats... absolutely zero class.
or maybe i am just an old fuddy duddy

I think we were 102 coming in...

This is an incredibly big game... And we really don't get the most out of home court advantage with a third of the seats empty... Is it time to buy tickets for friends and family to fill this place up?

Amen.first i am indeed furious at the slu students. for a school that has 13,000+ enrolled students, for less than 40 to show up last night is beyond pathetic. there is absolutely no excuse for that.
second if it is true slu offered any and all students worldwide to come and sit in our student section, that might be the most stupid promotion we have ever done. i dont care if it sold an extra 1000 tickets, it handed home court advantage to southwest missouri state on a night slu didnt need that to happen. that is just a brazen act of money first success second. and as a 20+ year member of the billiken club and season ticket holder that doesnt say much for wanting to give us long time loyal fans to success we deeply thirst for.
next, think about the fact that they even scheduled this game for after the students have left the campus. obviously the hometown students are idiots and stuck it to us, but one would think that the out of town students would have come out as usual had this game been last week or before. granted because of the academic focus of school first it worked out to play that d-6 school, rockford, last week, but if southwest missouri is supposed to be some sort of regional rival, at least schedule it so last night's attendance situation doesnt happen.
fourth, season ticket holders arent exempt from this spanking. there were plenty of maroon being sported in the lower bowl. they got those tickets from season ticket holders. any one of you that gave your tickets to a maroon wearing hillbilly should get off the bandwagon now. dammit. that really pisses me off.
last, as bonwich states, i never noticed it until last night, but what the hell is the deal with our ushers wearing maroon? my gosh is it to much for the owners of the arena to tell the arena staff that makes these decisions, that the ushers have to wear the colors of saint louis university?
p.s. for those of you that are so sure that the mvc is the place for us to be, think about this, our own fans and students dont care so much they have their worst attendance night of the year and let bass pro university buy, steal or take so many of their tickets that they outnumber our fans. yeah, st louis really cares about the mvc. they care so much they dont even come out to freeze out the opponents.
pathetic students, pathetic season ticket holders, pathetic game promotion, pathetic arena staff. no wonder the team played pathetic. it was apparently pathetic night.

Billikens are going to win this...
They believe that they can win... more than Iowa State believes that they will lose... neutral site... and lots of turkey makes all the difference...

moments of terror during the first half... brief moments of brilliance in the second half... definitely the right trend... VERY interested to see what another week of practice does for this team... definitely hopeful...

Never been there before - but I live nearby -
how family friendly is Sportzone? I would like to take my wife and two young kids to watch the game - any advice?
thanks for any help.

The last midnight madness had a few more folks - but there was a lot more to cheer about - after a dismal season last year - I thought the night was fun - and pretty energetic!
I took my wife and two kids and met with my brother and his family and had a pretty good time - i think next year can go no where but up!
Could Ellis mean Loe will follow?

Funny to read this old thread... I was just "googling" Loe... and this old thread popped up... what a huge difference three months made for this team.. and in particular Kyle... this whole board was ready to kick him off the team... and man what a contribution he made in the second half of the year... just makes me reflect on what huge strides these kids all made... what a great season.
