Or, it could be a statement that they expect a close game, and that their reserves won’t get on the court. Interesting Covid world.

Where is a place for the Live box score? ESPN isn’t working right now.

Tu 0 – W 1 — Th 2 — F 3 — Sa 4 — Su 5 This is ingenious. I don’t like Tuesday anyway. Why categorize it as an actual day. It is an empty void of time.

So, is there still a maybe game on Thursday?

I have started watching It on YouTube, via my Roku. Conveniently provides highlight news clips.

I don’t think we want to start comparing opponent’s records against anyone.

I don’t blame our AD’s office if they will not work with Mizzou anymore on principle. Have to stand for something.

How many A+ teams are there?

I think the hardest thing about our scheduling is that Ford and the admin have done such a good job of scheduling during his time at SLU. So, none of this makes sense. Maybe we could get someone at the post to do a story on it, so at least we could point to it come selection time.

Glancing at the box score suggests they will come back, end up down 10.

The box score is really strange. Mizzou turns it over more, rebounds more, and shoots worse. It looks like a rivalry game win. This game makes Illinois look bad. In either case, I agree that SLU would have beaten these teams tonight. Mizzou does deserve a big pat on the back and will be ranked on Monday.

This needs a little more explanation. You don’t want SLU to play anyone this weekend?

That is a bummer. He is one of my favorite non-bills when I catch them on TV. Hope it goes away easy.

When you think about it, Ben Fredrickson is just trolling both fan bases. I doubt Mizzou even made that offer because it would just be rejected. Didn’t they win like 5 games last year?

Maybe we can get Stu Durando to write an article that SLU can not afford to provide a similar 2:1 split on home games to a program as good as Kansas, so they could never provide such a luxury to lowly Mizzou. The MU fan base would lose it!

I think Kansas has too much to lose because we are too close to home. So, a loss hits their fan base, etc. We have done this with FSU and Auburn. That is what we will continue to do.

Can we get a deal like this with Kansas? I mean, that is a program where I at least see the value of A 2 away insult. National brand name that is worth associating with.

Varmits v. Jackalopes.

Guy Phillips will do the player announcements for the MU and IL game from Chaifetz arena as normal...

Here is a scenario to consider: we get into conference season, have a Covid stoppage, miss 2 weeks. Come back and we are a little off. Lose 2 games. Fail to win the tournament. Finish great in league, but not the total amount of games. We might be 2nd or 3rd because of winning pct with a smaller sample size. Do you think the selection committee let’s us in?

I agree. We need some programs to get us up to a ranking of 15-20, then we could schedule bigger ranking teams. That said, I feel like our schedule is set and it is too late in the day to really make changes. We may get 1 game, but we will see. If there is a Covid blow-up, anything is possible, but otherwise, I will accept the status quo.

Who is handling the scoreboard ticker? Is it Guy Phillips?

Note to the game schedulers: Arkansas is 4-0 and does not have a game scheduled between 12/22 and 12/30. That is our open window also. Please call the Arkansas AD and schedule an away game.

SLU wins the double entendre Olympics.
