Yeah student section was silent outside of a couple of the Corral and a few others. No balloons was a huge plus. One of the SLUnatics leaders showed up 5 mins before the game, left for 15 mins during the game, and left early. I know people in college have other commitments but you shouldn't be involved in this kind of role if you do. I know that this year's leaders hated 05, but they're seeing how much they need him. He got everyone else into it

Agree with everyone on Crawford and Barnett splitting minutes equally. Jake has looked a lot better in limited minutes. 30 minutes combined out of those 2 can give us a consistent outside shooting threat. Also agree that Crawford and Barnett's defense is the same. I think maybe Barnett looks better in practice because he's been playing with these guys for 4 years and he knows the offense better than Crawford so he knows exactly what's coming.

Yeah we know you were correcting someone. You do it all the time

Who's worse. Refs or the SLUnatics? Filled up but might as well be empty

Blizzard for VCU. BlueOut for Dayton. I think that's right. Could have mixed it up but I don't think so

2 point lead at half. 15 point win

I'll say that less than .01% of students know who any of our freshmen are.

Real defense doesn't need a name.

GW is pretty good. I think it's just another chance at a good win for us.

Our leaders would never do anything that could be considered mean or bad. They're doing this for their resume so they're on their best behavior.

Nevermind not true. Joe Strauss of course making excuses for VCU. Not even true tho

Did I see correctly that GW was only called for 7 fouls the whole game?

I think next year's team will be okay. I'd hope for 20 wins. Might be a weird senior night though. I know I've never heard John Manning talk.

Don't be sorry. Unfortunately the leaders of the student section are either completely unaware of this board or not big enough fans to post.

Wiz. SLU vs Duke? Neutral floor.

There is a pregame meal before Wednesday's game but from what I understand, the recent trend is the students get their pregame meal and then leave.

I was in charge last year. Graduated though. Now watching the games from regular seats. Not that we were perfect last year by any means but it's hard to watch the student section at all this season. Hopefully being ranked helps a lot.

Oh and one more thing. We might have the worst "big heads" in college basketball. Some of the ideas that they come up with are terrible.

The leaders are terrible that's no secret. The problem is that the athletic department either doesn't recognize it or won't do anything about it. Also, can we get rid of the balloons? They were fun for one game of the year. Now they're just on the floor after 3 minutes or they're just being played with and distracting students.

Same here. SLU's website said you'd be able to listen online so not sure what the deal is

We don't need to play the huge teams though. Play more teams between 20 and 50 in the rankings and it'll be great for our SOS and those teams are also big enough to attract lots of fans. I know not all of those teams will come to Chaifetz because they think they're better than they actually are, but you can get some of those types of teams every year. There are always upper middle power conference teams looking to beef up their non conference schedule. Also look at some of the better teams from bad conferences and play them. They end up in the top 40 or 50 every year and the thing that hurts them is that they rip through their conference schedule but they don't play anyone out of conference.

Yeah just Cheaney and Crews. The rest of the assistants aren't looking for anyone

We might be as good of a team as them but they're undefeated and we have 2 losses. They do have a better collection of wins than us including a win over us. So they should be ranked significantly better than us.

We should want Wichita St to be ranked in the top 5. If we go 16-1 at home with a loss to a top 5 team and combine that with potentially 10 or more road wins we'll look great

Yeah they have plenty of good wins. Our wins aren't great but like Ace said, we have 5 or 6 chances to pick up good wins here plus the conference tourney.
