I haven’t followed it closely, but I suppose we will truly find out whether Tillett has some secret sauce for getting her teams to elevate their play come March.

I did not know this, so I appreciate you bringing the question. I’ll hang up and listen. Like you said, if the rule is his foot can touch the line, but not go over, it was likely the correct call. I did a quick search and found mixed responses.

Really impressed with the fight and loved seeing Robbie have a big night. But, why the hell can’t such an obvious violation like the guy stepping and standing on the line for a couple of seconds be reviewed?!?! If within a few seconds of the call everyone watching can see the call was missed, you should be able to correct it. And obviously he should have seen it in real time as our player was pointing at it!

This has become one of my bigger frustrations. Seeing a lot more of guys having to make plays going one on one vs. the offense creating opportunities, just not seeing the elite offense I was expecting to see.

Agreed, it is a dumb sports talk radio argument to have where you can just keep arguing back and forth. I just shake my head when someone says he is a top 5 true center in college basketball and would be even more so in a power league since they would have other players who can defend the rim and rebound which one would think would make him not a true center. But, it is really dumb to argue about since I am sure we all love Robbie, so highlighting his obvious deficiencies which also presumably discredit him from receiving NBA attention is not worthwhile either. We can all agree we love Robbie and hope to see him return to his previous high level of play. I do have one question, he is currently able to dunk, right? Watching the game my friend and I after his pump fake and straight line drive to the rim where he missed the lay in were like f'ing dunk that and then we both looked at each other and were like can he dunk? It looks like he had one dunk last season, does he have any this season?

That would be a difficult ranking to do since the position is so different than it used to be with a lot of college teams playing with more of a power forward type as their 5 or have a more traditional center primarily to rebound and defend the rim vs. run offense thru. I personally would have a tough time ranking a guy as a top 5 pure center in college basketball when I somewhat question whether he could play that position in one of the top leagues. Robbie is super talented offensively, but lacks the athleticism, length, and strength to be the rebounder and rim protector programs in the top leagues covet at that position. I do see Michigan plays two center types (Goldin and Wolf), so maybe he’d fit with that type of lineup. Top centers would include guys like Johni Broome, Hunter Dickinson, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Oumar Ballo and guys with the NBA measureables like Maluach at Duke, either Ivisic, Derik Queen, Sorber, etc. Robbie is such a unique player to watch due to his odd body and inability to jump yet possessing elite skill. Personally I could never rank him as a top 5 center with those deficiencies which I assume make him undraftable, but no doubt he has skill. Posting the above about Michigan, maybe bring Tarris Reed home to play alongside Robbie?

Can we get him and his mom tickets to another game? If someone can track him down from his show, I would pay for the tickets.

That’s certainly fair and it sounds like there was some hostility all game, so even more reason there should have been more visible security with backup support ready to move in. I was more commenting on how comical some of the first line of defense type security can be at these stadiums.
-
And honestly, at most sporting events the most immediate first line of defense is not some intimidating former SEAL. The issue I would have is that the backup support did not move in faster and more effectively. Some of us have seen those folks operate in Memphis and they came quick to prevent a situation from getting really out of control and had a really well executed plan.
-
Haha, so true. My only reason for wanting it to get out of the news cycle is because I could see things being said from the VCU side that even if completely untrue would be less than ideal to have to deal with. I didn’t think the old SLU fans had this in them, the students need to rally around these men! Have there been any cell phone videos posted of the altercation? And thanks to Steve for posting the entire video, I was just curious if there was any video from within the battle.
-
Hopefully just his last name or something (like the old Belfour chant) and not what was on Twitter. I find myself wanting this story to get out of the news cycle because I could see things being said against SLU whether true or not that would be less than ideal for the school and program.
-
Maybe we are just getting started! I still can't believe there was a newsworthy altercation between SLU fans and rival fans and it didn't involve @billikenfan05 and instead appears to be some of the older men Billiken fans hahaha! S A I N T!!!!

Great fight tonight all around Billikens!

Man, VCU can’t buy one from deep. We are letting them off of the hook with these TOs though. Overall a solid showing, but feels like we should have a bigger lead with their poor shooting.

Good start to the game on both ends, keep it up!
