Disagree. I was not impressed with UMass at all. I really was as disheartened over this loss as any all season. I just didn't think they were that good compared to other teams we have played so far this season. We played awful, awful, awful and are right in the game if we make any free throws. I still expect Xavier to get going before the season is out. They still have a lot of talent and can win with that alone in this conference - even if the coaching isn't up to par and the rest of the stiffs continue to struggle.

+1 I can't figure out how Cassity is getting so much blame for this one. Mitchell had an awful game. He needs his offense to get going and his defense has been very bad at times throughout the season. I had a lot higher hopes for Mitchell than Cassity before the season and I don't think Mitchell is playing anywhere near the level he is capable. We need him going more than anything for us to be a top team. Cassity isn't the guy to take us to a different level. Sure, I would like Kyle to play better but Mitchell is the guy we need to get going.

I just looked and the game is on DirecTV if you have the sports pack. It is on 630 at my household - at least that is what my TV listing is showing.

That is my daughter on the right. Thanks for the kinds words. That is a great picture.

My daughter is still riding high from last season's record breaking victory. And she is clean!

I have the sports pack on DirecTV and couldn't find the game on for tomorrow. Hope it shows up somewhere but I don't see it now, which sucks. The listing on the SLU website says it is on CBS Sports regional, which I'm guessing is different from the CBS Sports channel. Who knows?

I'm not trying to rain on the parade, but I want to see SLU beat a quality team before I get too excited about this season. SLU barely beat Division III Wash U earlier this season, winning 5-4 on a run in the 9th. And Wash U had a mediocre season last year and are 2-5 to start this season although they have lost to some good teams. I would just temper my expectations for SLU a bit. They haven't really played any team of substance just yet.

I had to look it up as I was guessing Adegboye wasn't a great shooter. Before this game, a game he goes 6-of-8 from 3-point range, he was 1 for his last 16 from 3-point range. Perfect. When it rains, it pours.

Haha. You might be onto something. I was going to start looking around to see if there is some sort of baby racing circuit. There has to be, right? I think we only have a few weeks, though, before she starts walking. Time is precious.

HERSELF - that was my daughter. We had her on a strict training regime to get ready for the big race. She was focused. Lilly is clean!

My daughter is in the baby race as well. Looking forward to it. She might be passed out by the time the race starts, though.

Yeah, I was going to post something on Lisch but didn't. He can't even get off the bench at this point and Fontbonne is awful this season (3-9 and lost to rival Webster 75-42 last game).

I just put myself in his shoes. As a fan, I would like to see him redshirt. I think that obviously makes the most sense. But if I were him, I could see wanting to play right now. It has to be hard to sit and watch all this time. He has to be itching to play, especially with his teammates struggling.

For those of you interested, today's game (Temple) is listed on channelsurfing.net. Hopefully, it shows up.

I think it was from a few weeks ago. It was the second time he was on with him, though. I heard it when it was live and thought some might comment on it here, but it goes to show that his audience is way down. Plus, there wasn't anything earth shattering in the interview. He just seemed to change his tune a lot about everything regarding SLU and Willie returning.

They do really need to upgrade their facilities. I play in a baseball league in the summer where SLU is one of our home fields. That field was the worst I have seen it this past season - really bad shape in the infield. And at night, they really need to do something about the lights from the Fetz - it is really tough on hitters to see (not sure if it is the same for the college season). Lastly, they always seem to have issues with the watering system there - it is soaked way too often. Hopefully, they start taking better care of that field because it has the potential to be a great field.

Here is my question, if Majerus benches Ellis because he isn't playing defense, what does he do with the rest of the inside players after last night? I didn't see any inside defense last night.

He is a good passer and has a high basketball IQ.

Frank said it because he isn't in good academic standing or something along those lines.

Frank did not say he didn't think there was any chance he comes back. He said he thought it was in his best interest to come back because other schools aren't very interested in Willie, including K-State. It seems they haven't made any offer. Frank didn't think the chances were very good Willie returns, but I wouldn't say he was totally ruling it out. Martin did say he didn't see Willie coming back. And you are right - they both said we have ZERO chance winning Saturday.

I know Willie was already under the gun some for maybe some other issues, but how the heck can he be suspended after reading that report? What did he do exactly?

Thanks a bunch for the info. I will get on it.

So how do you get a baby entered in the baby race? I have one that should be at a good age at that time - she just started crawling.

Anyone have a report from Majerus at the MAC? I would like to know what he said since he barely was on the radio today. Thanks for any info.

This is really screwed up. So Jon Smith admits in writing to the police he is the one to sleep with the girl. What is going on around here?
