  1. Okoro's rebound count is up to 19. Ties Goodwin for second highest SLU single game total. record is 24
  2. So far it's been one of those rare games where the rest of the team is bailing Yuri out instead of the other way around.
  3. Tennis for people who can't play tennis. Just like lacross is hockey for guys who can't skate. *ducks*
  4. There was some research done a few years back that concluded the biggest factor in home-court advantage was the crowd influencing the officials. The idea being that the reason there seems to be a greater impact in basketball and baseball than say hockey or soccer is there are more potential judgement calls made by the refs/umps throughout the contest.
  5. You can't blame him for being shocked when something he's been doing the whole game with no problem is suddenly called a foul.
  6. Bob and Earl are reading the refs the riot act. Okoro is fired up. The crowd is still largely dead overall.
  7. The cheerleaders are mostly not here and the T-Shirt gatling gun wasn't working. Poor Dre was out there doing the T-shirt toss with no t-shirts being tossed.
  8. They do. I saw it this evening coming home from U City on I64 and am looking at it right now as of 10pm.
  9. That's a real shame. I had gotten the impression Fred wasn't planning on coming back next year either way. But no doubt not how he'd preferred to have things end. But as others have said, there is no doubt he will be successful at whatever come next. Best of luck to Fred in all future endeavors.

  11. If offering a kid because he is local over someone likely to be better is what you mean, then sure we shouldn't be doing that. But to fair I don't think we've been given any reason to believe Ford has done that.
  12. Ford would have tried to put his own stamp on the team and messed things up. Say what you want about Crews, but he had the sense to see that the sons of Majerus were coaching themselves and stayed out of their way.
  13. Turns out those excuses just delayed things getting to the point where what needs to happen became obvious.
  14. Perk has an injured ankle per Ford.
  15. Ugly game, more bad coaching, St Joe's is awful and this team is still a complete mess...... but a road win in conference is still a road win in conference. Bravo.
  16. CM is a good fundraiser. Doesn't make him a great AD in all areas. TF is a great recruiter. Doesn't make him a great coach in all areas.
  17. I suspect he is busy making calls about potential new head coaches. Reminds me of when Majerus stated bluntly that the SLU athletic program (paraphrasing) 'didn't know how to be winners'.
  18. I can remember it being mentioned that alums were playing in the UMass band during a SLU game there. Not sure if that is a regular thing or was a special 'alumni night' situation.
  19. This was the version of the band that had me wanting to sit near the band section. Under Beczkala they just had more personality, style, and put on a better show in my opinion. Maybe it is the AD and not the most recent director that was creating the more milquetoast presentation the last several years. Others can fill in those details. But to me, while I still loved the band, it hadn't been what it once was for a while now. https://youtu.be/BwFTmp_8O_8
  20. I just hope the coach, whoever it may be, can hold on to this year's freshman class. I want to watch Thames, Kramer, and Hughes develop and as upper-class men.
  21. I'd bet a Crown Candy malt the good doctor has already made some calls.
  22. She was too good for SLU to be honest.
  23. I've been saying to anyone who would listen that despite all the positive projections, Ford is on the hot seat. Sounds like maybe May needs to be as well.
  24. Can't disagree with anything here. Despite being such a highly-thought of and clearly effective recruiter, Ford still hasn't put a team on the court that would have bested the sons of Majerus. Even though Rick may not have had above a 2* recruit once his entire tenure. Just like the calculus with Lisa Stone, Ford may have raised our floor, but the ceiling under him is still fairly low. If this ends up another year of "Fourth-place Ford", it needs to be the last one.
  25. The only guy who doesn't try and score 5 pts each time down the court in these situations.
