Pestello was a great change up from Biondi. Both did well enough.

Feels like ISU is never out of it. This past year it felt like we were out of it if it was 4-2

ISU turns a game around quick

I'm not taking much from this game. ISU has some really really good players. Schertz needs to bring in some dogs though. For as good as ISU is they seem a little weak

Grizzlies @ Warriors tonight. Big game for Ahearn

SMU SMU SMU

I do think Harriman's recruiting connections could work better for Schertz's offense but I don't really need to keep anyone on the current staff. Honestly I wish we could get Van Macon back if anyone

The mountain west seems legit.

Nobody listen to Frank in the past hour. It's awful. Meltdown mode

I don't know the criteria or care. Maybe it's a lifetime achievement type thing like many NCAA awards are. Maybe it's due to his undoubtedly good fundraising or the champions center. Maybe it's due to strong academics tied to solid success in non men's basketball sports. It doesn't really matter. Good for May and good for SLU. If it helps SLU's reputation I'm good with it. Or maybe it's because he said no to Ahearn

Is it too late to put us in the tournament?

I hope ISU loses their first game and we just put this to rest

People keep saying this but it was like 3 people doing that

Yeah I'd say let's just do that and get it done.

I want the new coach to be a Cubs fan. I want the new coach dislike Imo's. I want the new coach to think toasted ravioli is the weirdest thing on earth. I want the new coach to prefer Olive Garden over the Hill. I want the new coach to have nothing to do with St Louis. There is no Duquesne fan out there talking up Ahearn's credentials and saying he'd be a good fit there when Dambrot retires. Anyone who wants Ahearn to be SLU's coach thinks that because he's local and then any qualifications are just stretches to justify that want. Give me Schertz. Maybe he ends up being a total flop. Maybe he ends up taking the best of his ISU roster and combines it with a strong NIL program and makes the Sweet 16 in year one. You can never predict it. But if Blake Ahearn was from Kansas City and went to Missouri St, nobody would consider him a candidate. Guys like Frank and the Ahearn family don't care about SLU. They care about Blake. And that is perfectly fine. NBA coaches who may or may not have vouched for Blake don't know anything about SLU's program or likely even the A10. They also care about Blake and only Blake. And again that is perfectly fine. But it's amazing that people can't see through that facade. ISU fans are in meltdown mode about Schertz and their roster leaving. National college basketball experts have hyped Schertz all year. Those people are raving about the potential match for Schertz and SLU.

When is Popovich, Donovan, etc going to call SIUC, Missouri St, etc about Ahearn? Hell based on that maybe he should call Louisville, Michigan, Stanford, etc

Yes but did the pope call Chaifetz about Ahearn?

Give us Avila and Swope combined with 1-2 guys here and 2-3 portalers and you have a team that can win the A10 in a year. I don't actually know how realistic it is to land Swope and Avila in an open market but I do think this can turn around pretty quickly

Ok Mrs Ahearn

It was a joke about how we always do that

Ok Blake/Frank/DeSmet principal

Ahearn could be good. Let him start somewhere else first. I'll take my chances with Schertz

1 year from today we'll be discussing our first round NCAA match-up

Moser gonna get fired now?

See I heard he and Frank are using SLU to get more money from Louisville but that Pestello flew out to Memphis last night to give him one final sales pitch
