No sense sitting Has any longer. Ain't gonna pull this off without him on the floor.

What a horseshit foul call on Has. Foul issues are gonna be the undoing this half.

Yep. 3 or 4 plays away from being right in it.

This is our team. Taking the fight to them. Could be too late, but glad to see it nonetheless.

Really nice final few weeks to his Billiken career. Happy for him.

Could've easily been a foul on VT when DJ got tripped on the runout. And they get a 3 off the scramble. One o those nights.

Best of luck, Nick. You may want to incorporate Box's plan into the equation.

This. And, based on a non-scientific google search, we only need 2 FGs and 7 points to avoid the futility records.

I have no idea what the tournament record is for fewest points scored, but I'm worried that it's in jeopardy.

The offensive ineptitude isn't really a surprise. The defense getting shredded....

F-

Somebody needs to step up and have a great offensive night. That's generally the key ingredient to any upset.

My go-to big-game emotional cocktail: supremely hopeful and simultaneously braced for disaster. Feels like we're playing with house money after running the table in Brooklyn. Let's rock and roll and see where the chips fall.

Ah. I missed the charter piece.

Only 25 students? The math doesn't make sense. It can't cost $2k per person ($4k if the U is kicking in $50k as well) to get to SJ and watch a ball game or two.

That was shaping up as the ultimate Kick-in-the-SLU fans-nads moment. Missed FTs...multiple stops during the last sequence but can't grab the rebound...great defense and near steal, but recovered and kicked out for a WIDE open dagger by some dude who had just entered the game for the first time... ...and it missed. Maybe - dare I say it - the curse has been exorcised.

This. A million times, this.

Best player, senior leader and best FT shooter misses two front ends. Doesn't get any more SLU than that. <sigh> And we can't get one $^%$%% rebound when we desperately need it. BUT IT DOESN'T ##$%%% MATTER!!!

Karma. That ball was off the Bonnies before the travel.

Not. At. All. Finish them off!

Yep. Warrior, though.

No quit in this group. Gotta admire that. Was Stockard on the radar at all coming out of high school? I don't remember hearing much about him, but he's turned into a nice player.

Gonna have to get better on the boards if we're gonna pull this off. Multiple loose ball stops have turned into SB buckets. Tired legs, I'm afraid.

As a SLU fan for 40ish years, I was wholeheartedly prepared for a start like this. <sigh> Hope the guys can weather it and chip away.
