65-88 record at CU, eh?

The only question that should be asked re: Majerus contract extension is Will Biondi bring him back? They clearly have not seen eye to eye over the past few years on multiple occasions/subjects. As it be, the All-Mighty Biondi was in Asia during the NCAA Tournament. THE MOST PUBLICITY SLU HAS RECEIVED IN OVER A DECADE AND HE WASN'T EVEN HERE. It's been apparent he DGAF about the athletic program, and we all know how his ego won't let anyone else have any sense of power at the University. Biondi will be the only and final factor on the return of RickMa.

Solid article by one of the best writers in the area. http://www.foxsportsmidwest.com/03/22/12/Ohios-Smith-returns-to-St-Louis-after-sc/landing.html?blockID=694038&feedID=3713

According to this article, Shaka "expressed reservations about the expectations of recruiting in Chicago" http://herald-review.com/sports/illini/updated-shaka-smart-will-not-take-illinois-job-vcu-coach/article_1d0ca3e6-7387-11e1-bd20-0019bb2963f4.html Seriously. it is Chicago. A basketball mecca. Thats like.. say.. I am an actor, but I have reservations about going to hollywood. WTF?

You guys are correct. I got a little too excited this morning when they sent it to me. Still enjoyed seeing spoon

Early look at NCAA tourney sleepers Last week the NCAA was good enough to host me and about 20 other members of the media at its annual mock selection exercise for the Division I men's tournament. Going through the mock selection gave me a greater appreciation for how the real selection committee goes about its work. It turns out when you're comparing dozens of teams to each other and you have a limited amount of time to do so, something as simple as "good wins" really does matter. And "bad losses" sure don't help. But are there teams that are better than they appear under the trusty old good-win/bad-loss test? Absolutely. I've picked five. The ground rules here are simple. These are teams that combine two characteristics: 1) They are not currently ranked in the top 25 in either major poll, and 2) they are really good at basketball. Saint Louis Billikens It's easy to see why the Billikens are off the radar to pollsters, fans -- really, everyone. It's not simply that Rick Majerus' team hasn't beaten "anyone," as the saying goes. SLU's PR issues go deeper than that: It hasn't played anyone, period. Aside from a game in December against SWAC member Alabama State (current RPI No. 308), the Billikens' entire schedule from November to present day has been a remarkably thorough and intensive investigation of Division I's midsection. Their "best" win would probably be their 77-64 victory at home over Washington before Thanksgiving, and that, to say the least, will not exactly wow the committee. But here's the thing: Saint Louis can only play the opponents put in front of it, and it has done so very, very well. This is easily the best defense in the A-10, one that takes care of its defensive glass but also forces opponents to cough up the ball. (Somewhat unusual combination, that.) Joe Lunardi's latest projection pegs SLU as a No. 8 seed. If you're John Calipari or Jim Boeheim right now, you have to be thinking the last thing you need in the round of 32 is to run across a renowned defensive thinker like Majerus.

re: Gonzaga- over a decade of consistent dominance and national rankings ie: don't get ahead of yourself with that comparison.. we have only gone to the tourney 6 times, they haven't missed it since 1998

It is all political. And you see how skewed it is. Thank god the Billikens don't have a football team. (which i still think should have been the name of the student section: 'The Football Team'"

I remember a thread similar to this just before the LMU game..

The game will be streaming for free online at foxsportsmidwest.com

How about a game where we wear black jerseys to honor Spoon and Ed.

SLUnatics need to make it a sea of stamos heads and all get black wigs to resemble his flowing locks. Confirmed: He will be singing national anthem for Xavier game.

Can the student section at some point make around 100 of those 'big head' things of Stamos? a sea of stamos would throw anybody off their game. and have the billiken part the stamos sea at halftime or something. i think it would be funny.

I think KM needs to develop a little more trust with the sophomores.

Should be a very tough game. luckily our style of play will not allow us to get behind as quickly as Mo St .. but this team is as dangerous as it gets. On a positive note.. Keith Carter is playing well up north.. http://napervillesun.suntimes.com/sports/9698365-419/benet-falls-to-fast-breaking-proviso-east.html

Perhaps you didn't notice our lackidazical effort on passing last night, but it was there. Mizzou would bring a speed and defensive intensity SLU has not seen. I hate Mizzou, but you can not deny their ability to push a tempo, and I believe it would take a little longer than usual for SLU to recover. Luckily, our defense and general approach to the game would prevent us from getting blown out, thus giving the Bills a fighting chance..but in conclusion, I think this Mizzou team is very special. They are a blast to watch (did i mention how much I hate the Tigers and their fans, so this statement kills me) and believe they also have the confidence of a top team. BTW..how good does that Oklahoma win look? They are rolling.

Former Billiken Jon Smith is averaging 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks in his last 3 games for Ohio..looks like he is still very inconsistent but capable of big games. #choochoo I particularly enjoy the 0 points 11 rebounds and 6 blocks game against Marietta.

2 things: -not sure how he got away with using the term 'scrubs' ... JM is a legit NBA talent according to Rick -So Rob Loe was +20 in 93 minutes huh?
