you'll get annoying ads from time to time but this almost always works http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/98529/1/watch-alabama-state-vs-saint-louis.html

nope

Also, St. Joes in his first 4 out. Our game at St. Joes definitely worries me this year.

He has Washington on his first 4 out and Temple on his last 4 in. We need both of those teams to step it up a bit to help us out. Good to see that he has Oklahoma in though.

but also reason not to waste recruiting resources and hours

pretty sure he's the #1 player in the class of 2013

i wish you knew that none of your belly dance or majerus comments are funny. also your willie reed picture isn't funny either. i'd actually say its disrespectful considering willie didnt really do anything that night. you might as well comment as much as you can now though, because you'll probably be banned from here pretty soon.

I think you're posting on the wrong message board. This is for Billiken fans. Here you go http://www.xavierhoops.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2 I'm hesitant to give you that link though, because you'll probably create an account and post on there and make SLU fans look like dbags like you did on the A10 Board.

I like RM, but I definitely know where Roy is coming from. Just a for fun question for Roy.... Who would you rather have as your coach? Majerus, Calipari, or Pitino?

Louisville doesn't seem like the dream spring break spot, but if we make the tournament and get to play in Louisville, I'll definitely be spending my spring break there.

The Final Four is in New Orleans. Not a terrible distance.

Keith Carter a point guard from Proviso East has signed with us too. RM calls him the best point guard he's recruited since he got to SLU including Kwamain. (but we all know RM says a lot of things like that) It'll be exciting to see how these 2 guys do though.

http://rivals.yahoo....pensions_121111 tweet145 Email Print I’ve got to hand it to Cincinnati and Xavier. They managed to embarrass themselves not just on Saturday but again Sunday. The “Crosstown Punchout” was followed by a “Crosstown Copout.” Quite a weekend in the Queen City. On the day after their basketball teams lost all self-control and sullied the reputations of their universities in the annual “Crosstown Shootout” game, the schools came back 24 hours later with punishments that further diminished the two. They took one of the worst on-court episodes in recent history and basically brushed it off with soft suspensions and hollow words. More From Pat Forde Hoosiers celebrate breakthrough moment Dec 10, 2011 Kentucky's youngsters grow up against Carolina Dec 3, 2011 Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin won a lot of admirers with his tough, impassioned and seemingly high-minded rhetoric Saturday after the disgraceful behavior by his players in their late-game brawl with Xavier. Then Cronin and his bosses cravenly backed down, suspending three players for six games and a fourth for a single game. Cincinnati’s Yancy Gates dropped an unsuspecting Kenny Frease with a sucker punch to the face, then punched another player, then tried like heck to go after several more but was restrained. He got only six games. If I were a Cincinnati alum, I wouldn’t want to see him wear the school uniform again. If I were a Cincinnati prosecutor, I’d consider filing assault charges. Teammate Cheikh Mbodj, seen on videotape attempting to stomp on Frease as he was on the floor, also got six games. He should sit the rest of the season. Octavius Ellis also was docked six games, and Ge’Lawn Guyn got one. No Bearcat will miss more than one Big East game. Cronin told the Sporting News on Sunday that in order to return to the team, the players will have to issue public apologies and perform community service in addition to their games missed, but that’s insubstantial PR. The suspensions are what matter, and they’re pathetically light. After looking across town and seeing Cincinnati caving, Xavier acted later Sunday afternoon with similar softness. The Musketeers’ brass announced that they will sit Dez Wells and Landen Amos for four games, Mark Lyons for two games and Tu Holloway for one. [Video: Brawl breaks out at Xavier-Cincinnati basketball game] Naturally, both the Big East and Atlantic 10 offices signed off on the suspensions without adding penalties. The college athletic leadership void continues at the conference level, where commissioners only seem interested in raiding other leagues and securing maximum TV loot. In looking at the videotape of the brawl, the Xavier players appeared less culpable for the flying fists. But everyone agreed that Holloway was a prime instigator with his mouth, talking trash to the Cincinnati bench late in a blowout Xavier victory. Heck, Holloway himself acknowledged it in an unapologetic postgame interview that only made him look like an idiot. “We’re grown men out there,” Holloway said, clearly misidentifying what constitutes manhood. “We’ve got a whole bunch of gangsters in that locker room. Not thugs, but tough guys out on the court.” I’ll have to check Jesuit teachings and traditions to see where gangsters fit into the grand educational plan at Xavier. But after helping incite a brawl, then making incredibly foolish statements, Holloway only will sit out against Oral Roberts next Sunday. Merry Christmas, Tu. It’s probably worth mentioning that Gates is Cincinnati’s best player and Holloway is Xavier’s best player. I’m sure those facts never entered into the decision-making process for the coaches and school administrators. There is a long and ignoble history of university leaders failing to step up and punish star athletes. This isn’t the first and won’t be the last, but it ranks among the most disappointing. For one thing, this was a truly terrible episode that was caught on national TV. The rivalry has been extremely intense, and I’ve attended more than one Cincinnati-Xavier game that included at least one physical altercation. But there never has been anything in the rivalry like this. It was “Malice in the Palace” without spilling into the stands. It was a LeGarrette Blount assault without shoulder pads and helmets involved. [ Related: Cincinnati, Xavier hand out suspensions | Not strong enough ] Coincidentally, the punishments in those infamous outbreaks of violence were severe: Ron Artest sat for the majority of an 82-game NBA season in the former; Blount missed 10 college football games in the latter. Last season, BYU was 27-2 and ranked in the top five in the country when it suspended No. 3 scorer and leading rebounder Brandon Davies for the rest of the season. His offense wouldn’t have cost a player five minutes of playing time at virtually any other university – but at BYU it violated the school’s Code of Conduct. The university did not flinch, no matter what damage was done to the most promising season in school history. It was not going to bend its principles to conform to the needs of the basketball team. In the city of Cincinnati, they don’t operate that way. They talk tough one day, then roll over the next. That’s the other part of the disappointing nature of these suspensions. Cronin gave accurate voice to how a lot of us felt watching it at home Saturday: He was outraged and revolted. His emotion seemed genuine. Among his memorable quotes: • “The fact is, guys are here to get an education. They represent institutions of higher learning. Xavier has been a great school for years. We are trying to cure cancer at Cincinnati. I go to school at a place where they discovered the vaccine for polio and created Benadryl. I think that’s more important than who wins a basketball game.” • “If my players don’t act the right way, they will never play another game at Cincinnati. I just told my guys, I’m going to meet with my AD and my president, and I’m going to decide who’s on the team going forward. That’s what the University of Cincinnati’s about, period. I’ve never been more embarrassed.” • “I made everybody take their jersey off, and they will not put it on again until they have a full understanding of where they go to school and what the university stands for and how lucky they are to even be there, let alone have a scholarship, because there’s a whole lot of kids that can’t pay for college and don’t get to go to school.” Cronin talked the talk. Then he and his bosses declined to walk the walk. A few hours after Cincinnati and Xavier disgraced their sport and their schools, I attended another extremely intense rivalry game – Kentucky at Indiana. The atmosphere was as loud and as charged as any I’ve seen. The players competed at an incredibly high level. And guess what? There wasn’t a single problem. I didn’t see anyone get into the face of an opponent. I didn’t see anyone bark at the other team’s bench. And I sure didn’t see any players throw punches. The Wildcats and Hoosiers were winners Saturday. Xavier and Cincinnati were losers. Then the schools came back and lost again Sunday in a Crosstown Copout

Another random stat Last year we were 12-19 (counting Rockhurst) This year we're 9-1 (counting UIS) If we win our next 4 games, we'll have more wins in non conference this year than we did in our whole season last year.

We were 4-21 from 3 and Cody was 2-10 from 3 by himself. Both very uncharacteristic. Good to get that out of the way against a bad team.

a good sign from last year could be brought back, "Tu stupid to spell Terrell" it would be cool if we could do something with conklin's screen and frease's face something about how "thug" or "gangster" they are according to tu

Ryan Braun tests positive for performance enhancing drugs. 50 game suspension.

Washington vs Duke at MSG right now. Hopefully Washington can pick up a big win for us.

I agree on Kwamain. Going into the season he was already on pace to break the all time assists mark for SLU, and he's getting more assists this year. He's going to come very close to setting the all time steals mark. He'll probably score score around 1600-1700 points which would put him right around 5th or 6th all time. Here's a link to the current player's career stats http://www.slubillikens.com/fls/27200/MBB/stats/HISTCARR.HTM#INDIV.FCA The programs that they give out at the games have the record book in the back... All time assist leader is Josh Fisher with 436 All time steals leader is Anthony Bonner at 192 Lisch is 6th in points with 1687 Highmark 5th at 1703 Douglas 4th at 1877 Doubt he can catch Douglas, but he scored 899 points through 2 years so keeping that average would put him right there. Could have a lot to do with how many postseason games we play.

He'll be fine.

Kwamain is struggling a bit after sitting out. I have to imagine Willie would be struggling even more.

Here's the question and it's actually serious...Does Saturday count?

I think there's something wrong with the main page. The "Official SLU News" tab has been retitled, "RtjkgLZBeSL"

@BKunderman Brian Kunderman NCAA stats update: Conklin 6th nationally in FG%. Billikens 8th in fewest TOs per game, 11th in 3FG%, 15th in FG%, 22nd in pts allowed.
