Haha. Good find. I have a question - how do you get picked for that shot for cash at the Billikens game? Do you have to register for a chance or do they just randomly pick you out of the stands?

Look at his last Tweet: keith carter ‏@keithcarter0 If u change just make sure its 4 da better!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me, that sounds like a kid regretting a decision. Oh well. Hope he thought this all through before leaving.

LMAO Its pretty sad that not one local Billiken.Com poster did not attend to give a report. I didn't go but my dad did. He didn't have much interesting to report although he has ADD and his comprehension skills aren't the best. He did say he thought Crews was a lot more personable and engaging than past meetings. The one thing he said that was funny is he asked May if attendance numbers are tickets sold or people in the seats at the game? May's response was, "the number is pretty accurate to what is reported." Haha. What the heck does that mean? May should be a politician.

You are dead right on all points. I couldn't agree more. Great post.

I thought they were about equally bad for both teams. It was awful to watch.

I said the exact same thing to my dad as we were leaving yesterday's game. Those guys were absolutely awful.

+1 I don't get it, either. At times, I think people are watching different games than me. The Rob Loe thing baffles me as well. He is doing the exact same stuff as last year - except for missing a lot more shots. I don't see his game as any different, which isn't a good thing - don't get me wrong. But I don't get how people are saying Loe is trying to play a different game. He is doing the exact same stuff as I have seen the first two seasons - looks like the same player.

For someone that is so much in favor of a good representative of the university, I can't believe you don't want Biondi gone. From the stories I have heard of him, his actions don't represent the SLU community very well at all, especially for a priest.

RIP coach Majerus. I'll miss him dearly but will never forget what he did for SLU hoops. Thanks coach!

I totally agree with this and I think Manning actually did foul him every time last night. I don't understand why some are saying there were phantom calls. His problem is he never keeps his arms straight up. He is always leaning over or into the player. He is going to get called every time he does that. If he just stands there straight up, he'll be fine but he has never done that when I have watched him. I do think he could/will be a better defender than Loe, who has been terrible as well, but he isn't there yet by any means.

Manning's interior defense is horrific. Wow. I guess that is why he doesn't play more.

Hey, I thought Withey was a fine player and might be the best big man we face this season but I think many of you are overstating his greatness. I just wasn't impressed with his offensive game. Again, he is a great shot blocker and rebounder. But before last night, he had played four games and had 11 or fewer points three of those games. His best point total of the season was 17 against SEMO on a night he went 5-of-12 from the field. And SEMO doesn't have a player over 6-9 on their team. The only two BCS schools he played (Wash St. and Mich St.) he scored 8 points a piece in those games. I would love to have him on the Bills and think he is a fine player but I don't see him as an All American or Player of the Year. It was just a game, though. Maybe he'll show me more going forward. My "stiff" comment maybe was a little too much but I thought we made it way too easy for him.

When he actually shot the ball at the end of the game he air balled one from five feet along the baseline and bricked another off the back board - I don't remember him making a shot outside of a free throw. He is great defensively and rebounds well but I don't think he has an offensive game besides dunking, which is fine if he can keep getting dunks. The Kansas offense obviously knows how to utilize that. He uses his size well, which is the smart thing to do, but I wouldn't front him defensively. Make him put his back to the basket and make some moves to score. So despite all his points, I wasn't impressed offensively. I was much more impressed with his defense.

Yeah, I noticed him backing off early. It seemed like he adjusted after he hit a few, though, and still wasn't closing out and working through screens. Either way, not sure I agree with that strategy as Withey is a complete stiff when he isn't dunking. Loe has to do a much better job of stopping that pass over the top. He was awful last night defensively.

I disagree with this. I thought Barnett was fine defensively. McLemore is one of the best players in the country. I wouldn't say 11 points and one assist in 25 minutes is having your way with a player. I thought he held his own fine, considering the circumstances. Barnett is gaining confidence and playing much better. I was much more perplexed by the defense of Dwayne Evans. He had an awful night against Releford. I'm not sure if the game plan was to allow him to shoot wide open threes but it sure seems Evans was daring him to shoot. I didn't get that at all. I would have expected Evans to get the better of that matchup but he didn't.

I thought Manning and Glaze both looked lost defensively out there. I have no faith in them defensively. Until they shore that up, I don't see them as much of a help. Our guards also were getting beat off the dribble too much and our rotation for help defense wasn't getting it done. Guys were out of position all night, leading to easy baskets. That was as poor of a defensive effort as I have seen in a long time.

I disagree with this. My biggest issue is rebounding. I don't think Manning rebounds well at all. He can't jump and while he blocks out alright from what I have seen, he is not quick to the ball off the rim. I'm really worried about our rebounding when he is in the game. At this point, I think CR is the much better play. I don't expect him to put up the numbers like he did last night but I trust him more than Manning right now.

Barnett played 90 minutes all of last year and took 14 three pointers - not sure how anyone can draw deep conclusions on him and his shot from that. He needs to play for me to get a better opinion. I can't believe some of the statements being thrown around about him for how little he was on the court - most of his time was in garbage time after the first few games of the season. You would have to think he was pressing when playing as he was trying to impress the coaching staff for more minutes. I need to see him more.

Yes.

My free feed isn't working well. Anyone else having issues?

This one is working for me now: http://apps.ohlulz.com/ncaa/?lulz=rtmp://cp98724.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live&id=lasalle_m-baskbl@39341

He just stood them up.

Majerus didn't show.

He also said the blame starts with him for Saturday and he went on about that for a few minutes. I thought that was an important part of this interview considering some of the recent threads on here. He was not happy with himself, which is why he said he thought he might be too soft on them right now.
