Channel 5 just had a story and said the suspensions were for the semester and they could come back if they wrote a letter of apology. They talked to Reed's dad and he wasn't happy with how it all went down.

I agree. I would not have gotten season tickets if I knew all of this was going down. Unreal.

My DirecTV here in St. Louis shows the game being on tomorrow - channel 630.

Today's game is listed on channelsurfing.net. Let's hope it works out.

Mizzou's shot selection has been terrible most this season. Just listen to Gary Link every once in a while. He has really been on them. I do agree they run an offense, but I could see where someone would say they jack up shots without any consideration. It is all in the eye of the beholder.

Not really. They play an up and down style, but nothing close to this. I believe MacMurray College tried this a few years back (another SLIAC team). They did it about two years or so before the coach left (I think).

I saw Dave Checketts as I was walking in. Did anyone see any Rams - ha!

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Just wondering if anyone heard Majerus on Frank Cusamano's show this morning. I'm guessing no, since i haven't seen anything on here about it. Would love a recap if possible. I don't see a link for the interview up yet on the 590 website.

I can't get it to work.

Yeah, you are right. North Carolina and SLU are on the same playing field. Good call. Great post. Wow. Just wow.

I have been looking and haven't been able to locate it on any of the sports channels on DirecTV.

This better not be the case. I paid extra just to get this package to get games like this. I don't see how Charter can control the rights to the game - maybe if it were at home.

For others in St. Louis, I looked up the schedule for DirecTV and it will be on 642, which you will have if you have the sports pack or some other expanded selection of channels.

Alright, I didn't want to be the one to bring this up, but I will. First off, Ellis exceeded all my expectations for his game today. I thought he played a great game and I'm super excited about his future for the rest of this season and beyond. That said, did he have some man boobs?

Haha. Good point. It was the wife. Only game she goes to all season. The only damper on the evening was the kid throwing up in the aisle next to us and the throw-up in the hallway as we were leaving, which was well after the other kid left so I'm guessing it was from someone else. What the heck was going on last week? I could understand if the Billikens were shooting like they did against Bowling Gree, but they actually played pretty well!

So at the last game, I was on the kiss cam AND my wife caught a ball. Greatest night of our lives

Agreed. And Fontbonne isn't even that good this year. I would have expected Lisch to play a bigger role on a mediocre to below average D-III team.

I agree. I don't believe any of it until I see CE here and playing. I was just passing along this info because Rican said CE was cleared. Who knows?

I remain very skeptical about any CE info out there. But for what it is worth (which probably isn't much), my dad was talking with a usher that he knows at the game Wednesday. He brought up CE and the usher said the usher behind the Billikens bench was told by one of the coaches CE was cleared to play. Again, not sure you can believe any of this, but just thought I would throw it out there.

My dad officiated high school and college basketball for years. He sides with the refs 99 percent of the times (no joke - rarely says anything bad). On that play, he said he would have kicked that guy out of the game. He would not have hesitated - said that is why so many games get out of hands these days, letting guys get away with stuff like that. Sure, the guy was hustling, but there is NO reason to hit a guy like that at that point of the game. It is called common sense. And I also think it was a terrible move by Lowery to leave the kid out there that did that.

I'm related to the Nordmanns. Never saw them play, though - I'm too young. My dad and I have had season tickets for six years - I think. He has had them about 10 or so now but we have been going to games together for a long time - probably 20-plus years.

I have been told that it wouldn't be a surprise to see Suggs transfer. He isn't real happy where he is and the coaching staff wants him to get much stronger, which he still hasn't done yet. That said, I don't think SLU would be in the picture if he were to transfer from what I have been told. That is all I know.

Porter Moser was on Cusamano's show this morning. He said TL was going to summer school and was finishing his degree. Moser said Lisch and Liddell were going to try and play professional somewhere and both were working hard in the gym. And Barry was going to finish his degree (has another semester left I believe) and will then try and pursue a professional career- he commended him for that. I caught the interview late and that is about all I heard.

Everyone keeps revisiting the attendance from this past season, but it is pretty simple in my eyes. They made the prices way too high for the product and paid the price. They started running specials and promotions later in the year and the numbers were better. It is pretty simple - lower the prices. We are in tough times now and people aren't going to shell out $100 or $150 or whatever it would cost to take their family to a Billiken game. They need to get the casual fan back, which was missing last season for most of the year. Don't get me wrong - winning will help, but you also need to have more affordable tickets.
