No, but I wish he had stuck around. He was solid at Bryant last year.

Does anyone have any clue why she wouldn't have already been playing more this season? She put up good numbers at Indiana State.

We had the game of the year last night at Rose Hill Gym on the building's 100th anniversary. UMass 120, Fordham 118 in triple overtime. The stats are hilarious: 79 combined fouls (most in D-I since 2017) 122 total free throw attempts (most in D-I sine 1997) 10 players fouled out, 6 on Fordham and 4 on UMass Rahsool Diggins scored 46, a UMass single-game record. He broke Julius Erving's record for points scored by a visiting player at Rose Hill. The game took 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Wallace was on the bench in sunglasses and giant headphones. Didn't look like she was vibing, maybe dealing with a sensory issue or something. I have no idea.

You can't separate them completely but large organizations absolutely have different subcultures within them. I see it at work everyday. The differences between individual teams that operate parallel to mine are massive in some cases, even though we report up the same chain within the same division of the same company. Athletic directors have a lot of autonomy. I worked within SLU's athletic department for four years. The culture within the department has way more to do with who's in the AD's chair than who's in the President's chair. I agree with your second paragraph.

Most people or organizations aren't all good or all bad. They're somewhere in the middle. May is no exception. He's made some great coaching hires, he's raised a lot of money, he got the Champions Center built, he brought field hockey on campus, he's gotten some other upgrades here and there, and he's finally brought in some decent merch options recently. He's also made some poor hires (especially those that mired the most important program in mediocrity for a decade), he's ignored the needs of certain programs in the department, he's overseen a department characterized by a lack of transparency, and he's overlooked the needs of regular fans while prioritizing the top donors. You guys mention culture at the university and I don't disagree that it could be better. There's also culture within the athletic department. To me, it seems a lot easier to change the culture at that level. Say what you will about the top levels of the University, but I don't see an institution standing in the way of what the AD wants to do. When Chris May was hired, SLU was relatively new to the A10 and it was the best place for us when CUSA (as we knew it) fell apart. Rick Majerus was the basketball coach. Chaifetz Arena was just about to open. If you asked yourself at the time, "Where would I want Saint Louis University athletics to be as we entered the year 2025?", would you be happy with the current state of things? Would you call these 17 years a success? A failure? A mixed bag? Have we moved forward enough? Probably worth taking a step back and considering instead of just picking a side and digging in.

Suddenly you trust the judgment of the people you criticize on here as much as A Bomb criticizes May.

But what if we go undefeated in conference?

January 11, 2014 - 67-59 Had a 9-point lead at halftime and Dayton couldn't catch up. Starters were Evans, Jett, Barnett, Loe, and McCall. McBroom had 17 off the bench. Manning and Loe combined for 9 blocks. Dayton couldn't make a shot all night, aside from Jordan Sibert from 3. Devin Oliver went 0-12. Wasn't SLU's best game, either, with an uncharacteristic 18 turnovers. -
Cedric Tomes - PG, 6-1, 170 - St. Paul, MN (East Ridge) - AAU: D1 Minnesota (Adidas 3SSB) - Twitter: @CedricTomes Offers: Saint Louis, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Drake, Northern Iowa, Bryant. Interest: Loyola-Chicago, Penn State, Notre Dame, Arizona State, Utah, Wyoming, Belmont, Evansville, Liberty, Appalachian State, Louisiana-Monroe, Iona, St. Thomas, South Dakota, Austin Peay, UC-San Diego. Latest News: Tomes received an offer from SLU. (1/6/25) Scouting Report: Tomes is a floor general with a great feel for the game. He lets the game come to him, doesn't rush or force things, and picks his spots. He has strong handles and changes speeds and directions fluidly. He has excellent passing skills and vision and makes plays for his teammates. He has deep range and a quick trigger on his shot. He has a smart, mature game. He plays quarterback for his HS football team.

New offer: I have a bio from July, when he hit the 2026 interest list, but I need to update it. I'll post it here once I do.

Davidson is 8-8 from 3. I've never seen anything like it in a SLU WBB game.
-
10-2 Wildcat run to start the quarter. Completely out of hand.
-
Not sure, but working on it. Meanwhile, SLU transfer Addy Lang is headed to Florida.
-
I replied earlier in the thread. Sheek Pearson was definitely there. I think Reed was the other but not 100% sure.
-
Recovering from a hamstring injury.
-
Sheek Pearson confirmed. Working on the second.
-
Had this same thought. How did Fordham beat 8 teams in the non-conference? I don't care what the SOS was, it doesn't seem possible.

Per KenPom via Stu SLU had 2nd toughest A10 Schedule

Do we? What is lined up so far? I know we have a good MTE, Loyola Marymount on the road, Grand Canyon at home - San Francisco at home, too? Anything else? -

I think it has changed since my day, when we had one full scholarship available for the head manager. We had 3 in 1 class, so we split it 3 ways for 2 years. -
That's true but it doesn't mean they've gotten that status yet. It would be bad news for their CEO, who just cashed out 7,700 shares of LOPE for $1.3 million.
